I would say that all these bands have been classified in one way or another. They are either Extreme Metal or Progressive Metal, though some are Extreme Progressive Metal.
You are correct in saying that they are in different classifications because most of them are cross-overs in one form or another that have blended one form of Metal, (primarily Black Metal or Death Metal) with Electronic or Industrial music.
For some it was successful, for others it was an unmitigated mistake. ------------- What? |

I daresay that Neurosis single-handedly invented "post-metal".

Devin Townsend- his music is unique and amazing. Every album he has brings something different to the table.

Hard to pick... but I really love it when indie kids try to claim that Jesu isn't a metal band. They're like 'pshh.. that's not metal, I wouldn't listen to it if it were metal...' Even when you point to the Godflesh/Napalm Death connections, they won't admit it. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

The "last" tendencies in Metal is unfortunately noisier, grimier, gorier, grossier, worser (sic). When you have to strain to hear or make out the actual riff(s) there is something not quite right.

Usually it's not about riffs and licks like traditional metal, but rather focuses on layering and atmosphere. The goal is to create a mood, not to dazzle with complicated riffery. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

That sounds like a critique I once read about classical music - that it sounded like a song was about to start, but then didn't . I like riffs. Atmosphere for me sounds like it takes 15 minutes to get to something vaguely resembling a melody. Or something you hear as background music in a horror movie. ------------- "Here I am talking to some of the smartest people in the world and I didn't even notice,” Lieutenant Columbo, episode The Bye-Bye Sky-High I.Q.

I voted Voivod, but where's Amorphis, Opeth, and Dark Tranquility? ------------- When Porcupine dream and another day unite, we shall awake to find the pain of salvation is but a grand illusion, which will render us comfortably numb and make us remember these scenes from a memory. |

I would have chosen Ulver, but only a few of their early albums have anything to do with metal, it feels kind of inappropriate. That leaves Neurosis, they were incredibly influential. |

Ulver would be my pick, but their metal albums do very little for me, whereas I find their recent direction fascinating. As Selkie pointed out, it feels inappropriate to pick them when this seems to be a poll about metal. I suppose it's Neurosis then, although I've only heard one of their albums. -------------

^ ^^ the poll says nothing about being limiting current releases or about being Progressive Metal - if you like Ulver, then pick Ulver I say. Blood Inside is a Metal album, it's electronic, experimental and progressive but still metal (and its even got guitars!) ------------- What? |

Maybe its cause I dont own the right albums, but I cant see any metal in Ulver

I agree with you in that, I think new metal direction tends to be unconsistant and predominantely like you said... |

| I'm not really fan of those bands, maybe Voivod tells me anything, the rest i know some of their works, but not appeal to me very much. So Voivod is my vote. |

Cult of Luna is delicious, they are part of the new eclectic form of post metalm, very definable!
I still need some Ulver. -------------

Devin's lucky, he's got two entrys! I picked Strapping Young Lad because of their intelligent ferocity and occasional sense of humor but primarily that's the band I've played the most of in the last month. My second choice is Voivod. Those guys have a lot of variety and weren't afraid to take chances. ------------- Those who know history are doomed to talk about it. |
