Label: Trance Syndicate
Year: 1996
Q: What current musical genre do I detest?
A: "Post metal" or "Metalgaze"
Bleech. The worst. Booooooooring.
Look, if I want "pretty music", I'll stick to bands who specialize in "pretty music", not some sensitive beardo who used to be totally into Neurosis, but then discovered Mogwai, and now wants to "build their songs to a crescendo" by slowly and lifelessly picking at the their undistorted guitars before the inevitable, and predictable, and lame "climax", when the guitars coming roaring to life on top of a riff Amebix wrote 25 years ago, and wrote 25 times better. Ugh. Enough already. Please. If I hear another band referred to as "glacial", "monolithic", or "NeurIsis" I'm going to drown my own children in the tears of their sobbing puppy who I will have just splayed open with a butterfly knife crafted from the still warm rib of my wife's now lifeless corpse that lay vanquished atop our smoldering ash pile of a former homestead. For reals.
You want "pretty music", here, here is some "pretty music".

well put.
I'm pretty sure "Drown my own children in the tears of their sobbing puppy who I will have just splayed open with a butterfly knife crafted from the still warm rib of my wife's now lifeless corpse that lay vanquished atop our smoldering ash pile of a former homestead" is a track on the second Red Sparrowes record.
I'm with Anny.

wait...this doesn't sound like neurosis at all.
fwiw, check out Rosetta, probably my favorite band in this somewhat maligned style:

they deal with climax a lot more than crescendo.
