Post-metal(EU)


DEFINITION

Post-metal is a sub-genre formed with a post-rock/hardcore mix while sensually resting on heavy metal. The conventional atmosphere of the extreme metal is accompanied by experimental layers of other species. This species, which is studied at the same table as avant-garde metal, is also associated with drone, sludge and industrial metal. Vocals are usually screaming or clean. It is also known as metalgaze. The leading names of Isis, Boris and Pelican and similar names in the work of doom metal attracts attention to the excess, as well as with referance of Deafheaven, Alcest and An Autumn for Crippled Children is also known as the derivative of blackgaze.

HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT

Post-metal's early work in the light of the avant-garde sensitivity of post-metal was recorded in the 1980s and early 1990s through heavy metal and post-punk synthesis, accompanied by names like Godflesh, Swans, Gore and Fugazi. After the term post-rock was introduced in 1994, the trend became increasingly swollen, while groups of post-hardcore and experimental origin began to incorporate boundary/psychedelic tendencies into the metal. Neurosis's "Souls at Zero" and Godflesh's "Pure" were retrospectively regarded as the first post-metal recordings. Godflesh's 1989 industrial production "Streetcleaner" had a stagnant and heavy music, while "Pure" was a work that encouraged larger structures and long noisy layers.


In addition, Neurosis continued its dynamism without compromising the doom and post-punk atmosphere. The band's fifth album "Through Silver in Blood" was described by the British music magazine Terrorizer as the classic of post-metal genre, while Fact Magazine assumed the best post-metal album of all time. Similarly, the first release of drone metal pioneer Earth's in 1991 and Kurt Cobain's guest vocal "Extra-Capsular Extraction" are closely associated with the post-metal flow. Fact author Robin Jahdi also emphasizes the relationship between the jazz/metallic hardcore mix in the 1990s noisecore field, such as bands Botch, Kiss It Goodbye and Coalesce.

CONSTRUCTIONS IN 2000'

The "Oceanic" album of the Isis group, which was formed by Aaron Turner's Hydra Head Records in 2002 was considered a common meeting point for multi-layered sounds, curved guitars and intense hardcore vocals. At the same time, Hydra recorded such extraordinary names like Pelican and Jesu. Inspired by names as Neurosis, Godflesh and Mogwai; Pelican instrumentally improved himself, Jesu explored ambient guitar compositions after the disintegration of Godflesh and headed for the shoegaze/slowcore area. In addition, black metal opened the door to a new approach by spreading out of Scandinavia and integrating post-metal into its speed and predator for universalization.


Pioneers of this approach names: Agalloch founded in 1995, which includes doom/black metal, progressive rock and folk. Parallel to Neurosis which released their second album "Two Hunters" in 2007 the USBM group Wolves in the Throne Room is an example. One of the extreme examples of internationally spreading post-metal, the Japanese band Boris which originated in 1992 has also been influenced by the works of Dronevil and Pink and some works with the drone metal group Sunn O))). Further, Cult of Luna from Swedish which owes musicology discipline to Isis's Oceanic during accession from various European communities, Amenra from Belgium who was sighted as a serious competitor to the group's authority in the industry by recording at Neurosis's studio and the layered/heavy project Year of No Light known for its sludge-oriented intense instrumental compositions from France, became one of the names affected by this current movement.

In Addition: In general you can get an idea from the table or from the species that it derives from/acts on. My favorite post-metal piece is Isis's "Threshold of Transformation". Stay good yall.
