Ghost Brigade

So, now I'm on a post-metal kick.  Post metal is a little hard to describe, but the way I understand it from the music, it is a progressive style of rock featuring metal elements, often characterized by long songs that feature the music more prominently than the lyrics, although the bands that make music of the style tend to favor theme albums that lyrically explore broad or otherworldly concepts from the first track through the last.  As usual, a verbal explanation gives you a far less complete picture of the music than does the music itself - DUH.  I will, of course, post more post-metal in the near future (pun not originally intended), but great examples are Russian Circles and Isis.  Today it's Ghost Brigade out of Finland - POST-CRANK IT!



P.S.:  Just thought I'd say "post" a couple more times: post post.
