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'  |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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! |

I'm not bothered about the amount of bandcamp bands but rather the abundance of the word "post" on this list. I can stomach only a handful of post metal bands a year before I get thoroughly bored of it. A pretty derivative area of music.
By the way there's no sludge in that P.H.O.B.O.S. record. The other albums might be considered so but not the new one. |

I agree. When it's good, I really like it. But after half a dozen albums I just find very little energy to check out others. Because let's face it, most of them sound pretty much the same, and there doesn't seem to be much of a consensus about what's actually good in the genre. When I feel like listening to some new "post-metal", I'll just put on my favorite. I liked that Rituals album, but if I'd heard it later in the year after Adrift or Planks (both of which are pretty meh for me) I might prefer them over it.
Kowloon Walled City and Sunpocrisy would be my picks of the year in the style, I guess. I also enjoyed Neurosis, Rituals and Strage several times. I'm sure some of the other albums would be equally good, but I've reached my limit and it takes something special to break into that arbitrary company. |

To be honest I don't think I listened to any of those. Sunpocrisy was something I really wanted to fully explore before the year's end because of the positive response but it just never happened. Actually I think the only post-metal stuff I've really heard were those borderline sludge/post mixes that pop up often. I know many were good but can't name any from memory. |

Thanks for checking out my list JOOE. Yes, a lot of "post" tags on it but it is my favorite genre of music. Don't be scared, not many of them sound the "same" believe it or not. I try to find stuff with some variety or experimentation. Love the bands that take chances. I did like other stuff this year but nothing really blew me away (maybe RIITIIR). Be'Lakor, Ihsahn, Ministry, Circus Maximus, Neurosis, Wintersun, Testament, Saturnus, Ne Obliviscarus and OSI were alright.
Take some time and check out some of the stuff on my list, I bet you will find something you dig a lot! |

Trying to finish my own list before getting swamped in 2013 albums, I remembered a glaring gap in your list! Not that it's a must-listen or anything, but if you like Constants you should check out Whirr's Pipe Dreams. It's very much in that same vein of 90s guitar-heavy shoegaze. A little noisier and a little more energetic, with vocals a bit too deep in the mix. Both are pretty derivative, I'll grant you that, but they stand shoulder to shoulder, and head and shoulders above, most modern shoegaze/dream pop artists in terms of energy and authenticity.
BoxCar: I like to do my listening in one place, or two at most. I hate having to keep a browser tab open to listen to an album, and I'm pretty neurotic about scrobbling what I listen to for Last.fm (even if I can't scrobble my iPod Touch and still listen to CDs, too). I already have to skip interesting albums or only quickly check them out because of time constraints, and sadly those Bandcamp bands get shoved to the bottom of the pile. Unless they come highly recommended or for some reason look just like my thing, anyway. |

I dunno what browser you use but there's a Chrome extension that allows you to scrobble stuff off bandcamp / youtube and other stuff (providing it's in Band - Song format I think). Was pretty handy when I still had a last.fm |

Oh? That's nice. Probably should have looked into it earlier. Might be one for Firefox too, and I'm not religious about my browser anyway. |

Ha, I missed Pipe Dreams! I posted a rec for their 2011 EP in my post/sludge/atmo thread a few weeks ago. I like it, their is a lot of content for an EP! I will see if I can dig up their latest.
I have a rec for your 2012 list. Sorry if it's on it already but did you hear the new album from Exotic Animal Petting Zoo? I am not a big mathcore fan but that album is great! |

Must have read the name somewhere, it looks familiar. I doubt I've ever heard them though. Will check it out. I will never finish my list like this.

My choices from his list would be Sunpocrisy, Bitcrush, Reverence and P.H.O.B.O.S. Assuming you'd heard Enslaved and Alkerdeel, anyway. But I imagine he'd recommend the top 3-4. |

Thanks tea[m]ster, I'm sure I will like many albums from the list, which are new to me, just have to find time and listen to them.
Anyway I'd also like to recommend you probably the best band playing something similiar to post-metal in Slovakia ever - The Ills, at least from what I've heard. If you don't know them, they have a bandcamp page as well: http://exitab.exitmusic.org/album/splendor |
