music that gets you through life..

Migrated topic.
If we are getting on sludgy music...

I'm personally a bit into sludge/doom/stoner/drone metal and some good dark ambient...anything that can get me in a meditative trance (be it divine or pure evil).

The finest comes from Russia! :d

Have a great weekend!
 
Sunn O))) is great - funny, I've been randomly getting into a little dark ambient at the moment as well. Usually the only ambient I get amongst is earthy, organic, spacey, ethnic kind of stuff (Benn Jordan, Carbon Based Lifeforms, SYNC24, Ishq, Marow- never scrapey, screamy, harsh, minor key stuff that I've been listening to at the moment ala Raison D'Etre.

I find Dahlia's Tear sits somewhere in between

This is Raison D'Etre (It is dark btw)

And just for the hell of it, here's the sensational (perhaps life changing) Lichen by Aphex Twin

PrimateSphynx, do you like Red Sparowes? I prefer them greatly to Isis, I think they are hugely underrated.

Yeah Red Sparowes are a way sick band though I'm not to familiar with all of their works, I like the song you posted a link to though. Pelican and Russian Circles are some other post-metal bands I've been getting into lately. I really like their more amibient/drone stuff, in addition to the sludgy. Have you ever listened to the Swiss band The Ocean freeradicals? They are kind of like ISIS but I'd say about 10X heavier:twisted: and a lot more avante garde, with melodic parts mixed in of course. I've really been getting into them lately as well.
 
A good place to start with Red Sparowes is their album - Every Red Heart Shines Toward the Red Sun. Definitely has the most variety in sound, I find some post rock can be way too repetitive and structured. Ie, slow quiet guitar melody building up, drums added, becoming heavier still into crescendo. There's a place for it, but I personally like a lot more diversity.

Pelican I think I gave a chance once, but I guess nothing really gripped me - could you suggest something?

Russian Circles and The Ocean I've seen mentioned to many times now to ignore, I'll check some out tonight ;)

To Drishti - that was some amazing drone/ambient

Yeah I've listened to a few songs off Every Red Heart Shines Toward the Red Sun and really liked it. I really like the album they put out in 2010, its really awesome. Yeah I'm not to familiar with Pelicans discography I just have a friend who plays them a lot and I like their music. Enter is a great place to start with Russian Circles. Its them when it was just a power trio and no string arrangements, though their album Geneva with cello and violin is really good to. As for The Ocean it depends how heavy you like your music. they do all their albums released in two albums, one post-metal and one heavy sludge with some death mixed in. Precambrian and Anthropocentric are my two favorites by them but I think all of their albums are amazing.
 
fantastic primatesphynx - I listen to a fair bit on youtube the other night and loved it, I'll start tracking down some of these albums. Thanks heaps :)
