Listened to a Hercules album (the new one). Wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Definitly needs a better singer, though. Parts of it made me think of a lower grade Isengarde playing power metal.
I see no one has mentioned Black Shape Of Nexus. Absolutely crushing, utterly riff-based sludge (except the Microbarome Meetings album which is pure drone) from Germany. They have a couple of releases available for download on their website, especially the Live in Mannheim tape is devastating. I've given a shot to pretty much their whole discography and you can't go wrong with these guys.
Huge doom/sludge/drone sound from Sydney, Australia. Immense. The youtube vid is just a snippet, trust me the album is great. http://www.drowninghorse.blogspot.com/
Via Montreal, Canada another Isis sounding post metal release, yippy. It's really good tho. http://milanku.bandcamp.com/
This is brilliant! Thanks!
