Yes, I know, a lot of stuff to check out! If you want I can give you the 3 or 4 you DEFINETELY need to hear!

Ah that's what I need to listen to, Atoma. Thanks for the reminder..
This list will also serve as the 'best of the post/sludge/atmo thread'

Sure !

The last p.g. lost was great!

One hell of a list you got there. Be sure to add the Horseback album when it comes out. Also, I know it's from November 2011, but it defenetly needs attention: Cult of Occult

Would be cool if you could post bandcamp links wherever possible

Did you like the new OSI? I found it quite bland compared to their previous releases, but I haven't given it too many spins. Maybe it will grow on me :/

Ok, I'll try to get the bandcamp links done. I have to talk to JOOE, he did a fine job on his list. The new OSI was what I expected from them, more of the same. That's fine with me, I like their sound.

Nice list. I'd like to give Reverence a try.

Thanks, I think you would dig most of this stuff!

Thanks, man.
And also, even though I haven't heard anything this year I'd like to recommend you these:
Dodecahedron - Dodecahedron
Wilds Forlorn - We, The Damned

I really need to here those Rituals and Ufomammut albums.

...and as expected. Some unknown stuff over here that's worth picking up. Cool list.
Post-rock/metal ftw.

Thanks dude. 99% of these bands have bandcamp pages (and some can be download for FREE) so make google your best friend and enjoy some quality tunage!

Rituals was indeed good. Nothing original, but above average in the style. Ufomammut was kinda meh on first listen, haven't had the time to spin it again. I've always thought they're nice, their sound is very welcome to my ears and all, but I don't get that certain "wow" factor others seem to find.

Yea, Ufomammut isn't genre-breaking by any means but it's still good. I am a sucker for long, droned-out, post/sludge metal passages!
You definetly need to try the shit on this list Iron, most of it I know you will dig...

Don't want to be the "genre" guy but I see nothing sludge about P.H.O.B.O.S. at all.

I would call it simply Industrial doom (more industrial than doom though) with some slight black influences but nothing sludge in it.

but nothing sludge in it.

That's why we all hear what we want to hear :0
For me Dr, this band reminds me of Godflesh so much that I can't help but put the sludge tag on it.

Not when it comes to genres... that is called "being wrong". Hehehehe
Still have no idea why some people have trouble calling Godflesh for what it is: Industrial Metal. Just because they have a somewhat filthy sound does not make them sludge at all. If they influence some sludge and post-metal bands that's entirely different story. Their songwriting is so not-sludge.

P.H.O.B.O.S. takes more from Blut Aus Nord than Godflesh anyways. Godflesh's influences is only seen in the percussion while BAN's print is seen in things like... ALL their riffs, dissonant sound, overall songwriting and atmosphere, etc.
Atonal Hypermnesia could easily be described as The Work Which Transforms God slowed down to funeral speed with industrial percussion.

You're saying "No particular order" but you've ordered them alphabetically, oh the noes! D:

Nice Architects and If These Trees Could Talk getting some love!

Thanks for the kind words MS'ers. I have updated the list, check out some good music!

Nice! Over 50 recs people! Try to keep up...

Oh god, there's a lot on here i'm going to have to check out... i've been wanting more sludgy stuff and it looks like this would be the place to find it

The best part is the majority of these bands have bandcamp pages. Easy to sample and see if you dig.

"Shameless bumping"

I did update this list. Check it out!

That Crown album.. it really is "The One". Probably the best ep I've heard this year (not many of those though) alongside that Monolithe one, have you heard it yet? Seems like something you'd dig.

Try out the Tuber EP, pretty good stuff too.

Ok, the top 20 are my top 20 albums for 2012. Check em out if you haven't already!

Bah, too many obscure Bandcamp bands. I hate listening in my browser! I'll try to check out most of your top 20 though, I've barely heard half of them.
