Best 100 post-metal releases

Post-metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music that emphasizes atmospheric and introspective sounds, typically featuring slow and extended compositions that incorporate elements of post-rock, sludge metal, doom metal, and other related genres. Post-metal bands often focus on creating a sense of weight and intensity through a mix of distorted guitar riffs, heavy percussion, and ambient textures, often eschewing traditional song structures in favor of more expansive and experimental arrangements. The genre emerged in the late 1990s and has since gained a dedicated following among fans of experimental and avant-garde metal.
