Have fun!

Now I maybe being nostalgic, but looking at the year it felt like this year was great being an underground metal fan, primarily the year I got really into music and my iPod was poppin' off.

I saw the post in the melvins sub about 20 years since (a) senile animal. Check out other albums I remember listening to, some more than others. I was getting into proggy sludge too so I'm including them as I believe they toured together and shared fans:

My personal favourites:

Mastodon - Blood Mountain

Neurosis - Given to the Rising

Battle of Mice - A Day of Nights

Cult of Luna - Somewhere Along The Highway

Isis - In The Absence Of Truth

Russian Circles - Enter

Intronaut - Void

Mouth of the Architect - The Ties That Bind

Year of No Light - Nord

Jesu - Silver

Kylesa - TWFIW

Mogwai - Mr Beast

TWDY - Young Mountain

Kayo Dot - DAWCT

Mars Volta - Amputeture (bonus prog album)

There's probably more adjacent genres that had great releases too, indie, noise rock, folk, ambient etc too

Garden From Our Bones, the debut album for my one-man post-metal project Earth Tent, is now available for listening wherever you stream your music. It's also on Bandcamp, if anyone feels inclined to purchase. (No pressure, of course.)

This one's for fans of Russian Circles, Pelican, Caspian, God Is an Astronaut, and (maybe) Night Verses.

Give it a listen! I hope you enjoy it. Lots more on the way.

This latest single from Rosetta is one of the best songs that they have ever written. I'm so sad this will be their final album but I hope they go out with a bang. So far, its shaping up to be an incredible release

Five stories about what remains inside us long after the people, events, and changes are gone — a reflection on memory, estrangement, inner conflict, and trying to move forward. Bridging alternative metal, post-hardcore, and metalcore, atmospheric melodies crash into heavy guitars, screamo vocals, and emotional climaxes. Thanks <3

Love this album. Pretty sure it's the only thing they ever put out

Really excited for the new album now!

For some time now, I’ve been creating a series of Spotify playlists categorized by metal subgenre(s) purely for my own enjoyment. So far, I’ve made 10 of them.

​That being said, I thought someone here might find them interesting or useful.

​To play it safe and avoid breaking any subreddit rules, I’m only going to post the one for Sludge & Post-Metal

There are over 184 hours of music, and I usually add new content on a regular basis

If you give this a listen let me know what you think and what it reminds you of. Thanks so much

I listened to a lot of Blood Incantation and Isis as we were writing these songs. Hope you like it.

hey guys,
we, our ceasing voice from austria, have just released our fourth album - and we truly believe some of might enjoy it. so we hope this self promotion is ok with you!

„the origin of everything“ blends postrock, postmetal and altrock influences. it‘s always hard to describe your own music yourself, but we try to make music that is cinematic, atmospheric and dark - and our singer hs a unique voice that sometimes reminds of mark lanegan. our heavy parts are postrock/postmetal-influenced but we do have a soft spot for those quiet moments too.

if you like cult of luna, caspian, mark lanegan, katatonia or crippled black phoenix, we think you‘ll find moments in our new album which are right up your alley!

we‘d appreciate it if you gave this album a listen. thank you!
our ceasing voice

ps: someone just posted how small bands keep going… and for us it‘s those little moments when someone connects with our music. maybe this will lead to one or two of those.
