Post Rock: New Jargon

I'd replace "Apocalyptic" with "Dark", but otherwise I agree. You're welcome to create an account at my website and tag the albums of these artists accordingly ... with the exception of Apocalyptic all the tags are available.

I'd put Pelican under Metal also

but good descriptions

From the ones in the archives: Saxon Shore, Tortoise, Bell Orchestre, Do Make Say Think  and Yndi Halda wont fit.

Seriously though, even though the majority of post-rock bands tend to be on the mellow side, not all of them are.

the subgenres are interesting, they don't bias the "experimental" character, nor the "post" dominant attitude.
