Post-Metal

The lyrics also tend to deal a lot with scientific themes such as biology (Giant Squid, ISIS), Astrology (Rosetta), Metaphysics (The Ocean), and then branching off into existentialism, philosophy, and social critique.
 
Props on mentioning Rosetta...they're very underrated. Real Isis-influenced music. Check out the song "Wake", never knew a song with screamed vocals could be so emotional.
 
Yeah, it was pretty awesome.

The only album I'm really that familiar with is The Eye of Every Storm. Listened to parts of Through Silver in Blood and bits and bobs of Times of Grace and Given to the Rising.

And yeah, it was an ace ending. They all brought out their own set of rack toms to play the intro :P
 
I'm boycotting any genre of music that begins with "Post". Except for Post-bop of course, cuz it's been a genre longer than I've been alive, and because I like it, of course.
 
"Through Silver in Blood" is probably my fav album by the band and one of their essential releases, a personal fav though has to be the earlier "Souls at Zero" which saw the switch from their early style and the title track still blows me away.

I always think of Neurosis in this period as sounding like a thinking mans Slayer!
 
Already have, unfortunately I had to cut a few banRAB from the list because it was getting too long. Giant Squid and *shels were two of the banRAB :(
 
i forgot to type 'I'....i am going to look into them tonight....i have a thing for squid and all that is squid related....
