i'm really digging it lately. 
first started listening to Isis a couple of months ago and i'm just now getting into their other albums because i've been hooked on Panopticon for so long. 
the lengthy songs, the unconventional sound, the energy! 
two cds by Neurosis are next on my list.

i recently got REALLY big into isis, too. panopticon is fucking genius. i own all their works with the exception of the live album. just got an 8" of red sea in the mail not too long ago. in the abscense of truth is awesome, but i keep finding myself coming back to "celestial" as i find it to be my favorate album by them.
i can't make any recommendations based on sounds similar to isis as they seem to be in a league of their own, but i can tell ya some interesting stuff to check out:
sleep - dopesmoker (must have)
torche - self-titled
jesu - silver (must have)
jesu - conquerer
jesu - self-titled
om - conference of the birds (unreal. check the mp3 i uploaded on this forum of "at giza")
boris - pink
WINDMILLS BY THE OCEAN!!!!! (contains members of ISIS! absolutely AMAZING!!)

excellent middleman!
sunn o))) is totally my personal meditation music. if i've had a hard ass day, i toss on some sunnn, preferably grim robes or altar (w/ boris) and let the worries of the world melt away and i become hypnotized by the drones.

Altar is definitely an intense listen, but a lot easier to stomach than most of SunO)))'s own releases heh.
Some of Boris' releases are equally unpleasant.
Yakuza are damn good too. A very mixed bag.

i agree. i wish they would record another album like pink. such a bomb dropper! pop? possibly yes. garbage? i think not!
i got the boris/merbow collab on yellow/green vinyl not too long ago. quite a rendition of i am the walrus. the flip is equally mesmerizing.

That's not too bad, sort of sounds like a mix between Corrosion of Conformity(vocals) and Meshuggah(sound and off-beat time sigs)....
I gave a listen to ISIS and Pelican.... I couldn't get into either one of them....
I guess I am just more drawn to the intricate melodies and the multiple riff arrangements of progressive metal....
It's all good, it's music....!

Check out maudlin Of The Well. I personally like their Bath album. They disbanded some time ago and some members moved on to form an avant-rock band named Kayo Dot. Also great! 
If you love Isis, check out Red Sparowes and Explosions in the Sky. Both instrumental bands.
btw, I'm new here, so.. hello!

It's so hard for me to find Metal that I like,
I've listened to every band mentioned in this thread,
and I gotta say I really dig Ufomammut. 
They're heavy as fuck and nicely mixed, thanks Sheepish.

jesu is the evolution of godflesh. duh. it's not emo, but i can see where he's coming from, and im a HUGE jesu fan. i listen to at least one of their ep's in it's entirety if not a full album every day. it's angry and beautiful, a wild combination.
the song heart ache is a fucking BEAST. is it just me, or does both "friends are evil" and "wolves" seem like a continution of parts from heart ache?

MOST OF THE MUSICIANS I HAVE POSTED DONT LIKE THE SPOTLIGHT ON THEM, THEY RATHER IT BE ON THEIR MUSIC..A PERSON'S "HOTNESS" SHOULDN'T SELL RECORDS, ONLY THE QUALITY OF MUSIC SHOULD MATTER, THATS WHY I THINK AVANT-GARDE, EXPERIMENTAL OR POST-WHATEVER IS THE BEST TYPE OF MUSIC TO LISTEN TO..

im uploading Isis - In the Absence of Truth, thats a good start for avant-garde/post-metal,Isis is able to incorporate all the influences into one song. it should be up in 25 mins. i highly recommend to not put off downloading it until tomorrow, once it gets taken off sendspace, im not reuploading it. unless you guys now of a good server/host for me to upload gigs worth of music..

Sunn O))) is being zipped now. but be warned, this is not 'songs' but tracks, its to non-musical to be called song...not to say its not a form of sound, but i dont call it music, i usually call it visual sound.

that's really awesome of you, i will give you shrooms for sho'!
i've been meaning to check out godflesh and wolves in the throne room. actually wolves in the throne room just played a show with jesu around here last week. it was awesome. that isis side project sounds funky fresh as well.
zozobro...is that a group? or that old man gloom thing? ...or is it a group named after the old man gloom thing? ah whatever, maybe i should just check that out myself.
if my desktop didnt just crash last night, i'd offer up my files on share through my aim account. but i guess that would have to wait..
sorry : /

"zozobro...is that a group? or that old man gloom thing? ...or is it a group named after the old man gloom thing? ah whatever, maybe i should just check that out myself."
Old man gloom started when aaron turner of isis and some friends(fromother popular bands) in sante fe got bored and 2wanted to fuck around with all the instruments they had acquired over the years.
since old man gloom wasnt a constant thing and doesnt take up alot of time, two of old mans glooms members decide to start their own project. the drummer and bassist.
http://www.myspace.com/oldmangloom <-has their story(in a funny narrative) on the page.
http://www.myspace.com/zozobra505 <- also has story on page.
alteredagain, windmills is zipping now, should be up in 30 mins.
its some good dark post rock. one member from isis(the keyboard/sampler Bryant Meyer) and some chick too..

bickethead is more a progressive rock sound.. he is some what avant-garde, he really touches all genres and styles with his music.

alllll right kiddies, i got one more upload for today, unless you all can think of any other bands named above that you would like an album from.
my last one is a band called Giant Squid. Its like Neurosis meets the Cranberries. there is a chick who sings/screams and plays electric cello, also a badass guitar player/singer...giant squid is a great band with a mash up of many genres and sounds..and over all a good listen.
Giant Squid - Metridium Field. will be up in 45mins.

its unfortunate that there will never be any more windmills by the ocean albums.
The Gersch is another good band with Bryant Clifford Meyer of Isis in it. Its a lil more Black Sabbath-ish with some nice riffs. oh, and they have no bass player, just some low sounding guitars.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gersch
From their myspace: (http://www.myspace.com/thegersch)
"Ashes were trampled into the Earth, and the blood became as snow. No one would ever know that my lord's people had lived at all. life and death... the same. Only the war masters would teach them. It's not the length, it's the Gersch..."
that will tomorrows first upload.

everything you posted from Isis to Windmills by the Ocean to Beware of Safety was great stuff. Anything else you'd recommend with a similar sound?

You should upload You Are There by MONO. That album is fantastic. It feels like all the sorrow and beauty is passing through you via the speakers. At least that's how I feel when I listen to that album.
Dysrhythmia is another good band. I recommend the Barriers And Passages album. Also Envy; check out Insomniac Doze.
Not sure if you would like these guys, but Agalloch are quite good. They're a folky black metal band with a fair amount of avant gardeness going on there. They have lengthy epic songs and a lot of more acoustic orientated songs. I recommend The Mantle by Agalloch.
Don't know if anyone recommended Godspeed You Black Emperor; I suppose they are more rock, but they deserve a listen. Check out their f#a#OO (that's meant to be an infinity symbol on the end there) album.
Did anyone mention Pelican? Australasia is a great album.
Check out some Ozric Tentacles also. I'm not that familiar with their work, so I can't recommend their best album, but pick one. I'm sure they're all equally good.
Might be going out on a limb here, but check out Ulver's album Blood Inside. It's the sound of a black metal band that got bored with the genre and started dabbling in everything they could get their hands on. It's certainly an interesting album.
Don't know if you've ever heard of Between The Buried And Me, but they recently released a rather prog influenced album. There's a fair bit of screaming in there and when they kick into the metal, they really go for it. But a lot of the album sounds like a mish mash of the 70s prog sound. It both rocks and trips you out.
On the rather heavy side, check out ISOR's album Post Mortem Peep Show. A rather weird mix of heaviness going on there. They are a 2 piece band from the UK.
Farmakon are fairly good too. I like their A Warm Glimpse album.
There's a good local band from NZ that I really dig; they opened for Isis and they were a perfect match in terms of that sound and feeling. 99% instrumental too. They are called Jakob and I recommend their album Solace. May be hard to find that one is it's a NZ band and I'm not sure how big they are outside of this country.
Dunno about this one, but have you checked out Opeth? My favourite is their Orchid album and it's a very good mix of heavy and light. Very damn epic too.
Can't believe no one didn't mention Sleepytime Gorilla Museum (either that or I missed it). Check out their Of Natural History album. I can verify that this album is suitably intense on a trip. I love the lyrics too. Definitely avant garde these guys.
I recently found this amazing one piece band, Caďna. It's what you'd called extremely avant garde black metal. No corpse paint or screaming about Satan here. Just swathes of black tinged electronics/ambience. Probably the best album I've heard this year. Check out their album Mourner. The older ones are more traditional black metal.
Flat Earth Society are a jazz based band. A weird one at that. The review I read for them described it as music to rearrange old people's synapes to. Check out Isms (they don't have much else material sadly. that is a collection of their songs).
Fredrik Thordendahl's Special is insane. Side project of guitarist from Meshuggah. Certain songs sound similar to Meshuggah, but it spins off into far stranger territories. He only released one album and it's called Sol Niger Within.
Hella have some interesting work. Check out There's No 666 In Outer Space.
Kayo Dot is the continuation of maudlin Of The Well's musical concept. Choirs of the Eye is a truly epic listen. I highly recommend this album.
YOB are a doom/stoner metal band with psychedelic touches to their sound. My fav album of theirs is The Illusion of Motion. Insanely heavy as well with huge build ups.
Naked City is what happens with jazz meets grindcore and various other musical genres thrown into the blender. Check out their self titled album. It will make you laugh.
John Zorn (Naked City) also was in Pain Killer, which is much heavier than Naked City and is far more chaotic. Much closer to grindcore than Naked City (Naked City only had smatherings of it here and there). Pain Killer can be an unpleasant listen
OK, that's it for now

Im goign to be uploading two .mp3 full albums.
i condensed a few whole albums into one track for trips.
they are:
Tephra - Tephra 45:02
Great Post-Metal from germany. they have a new album out just as good as their first. http://www.myspace.com/tephramusic
Battlefields - Stained With the Blood of an Empire 33:58
http://www.myspace.com/battlefieldsdoom
i actually saw these guys live and talked to the lead singer/sampler/electronics. really cool guys from Fargo with some powerful music. if you want to go from beauty to disgusting, light to dark, this band is a great listen. its a short 33 min album, but they plan on a full release soon. and man, when i saw them, it was a real intimate experience, they played with no stage, and i was like 2 feet form them, i could hear the vocals from the mouth more than the mic.
and the CD does no justice to their live sound, so much LOUDER!

here ya go, the Gersch, as promised.
this is less avant-garde then the others i have posted, and would prolly be put in the stoner-rock genre nowadays, but when the band was writing and performing(1994-1998) it was very experimental for its time. In fact, they said they clear the room their first show:
"Debuting at O'Briens in Allston in 1995, The Gersch cleared the room with the first song of their set - the 15 minute, funeral dirge "Cheapskin", which, unfortunately, was never recorded, but, fortunately, changed the lives of the 3 or 4 people who sat through it."
The Gersch

M TELLING Y0U GUYS...I HAVE 14 DAYS WORTH OF MUSIC, ALL GOOD SHIT.
here/hear is mouth of hte architect, another band i was able to see live. they border isis in song wiriting, but not in style. MotA i s much more 'hardcore' sounding, but it also has plenty of non-vocal interludes and trippy parts.

im uploading Irepress- Samus Octology now..
another great album to trip to, along the same vein as Beware of Safety, but this band uses some distortion comparable to Messhuuguh, but dont worry, they are instrumental, so no guttural vocals..
for a sample, see my upload, June Ipper, it is a song from their album
cheers!

Thanks for the descriptions Sheepish, that really helps. I really like Mono.
I couldn't find Jakob, not even on the NZ hubs, any chance you have an upload?

This is MONO's album You Are There
Captured to tape by Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio studios in Chicago, IL, You Are There extends the cinematic drama of 2003's Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined (also recorded by Albini), while surpassing the sinister heaviness of 2002's lauded One Step More and You Die. MONO disproves the myth that an increased focus on intricate song structures and string arrangements comes at the expense of youthful energy and inspired aggression. With You Are There, MONO's representation of tragedy comes with an inherent joy, delivered with the hope that in all dark there is equal parts light. They're not heavy like Black Sabbath - they're heavy like Beethoven.

This is Jakob - Solace. Hope you enjoy it Middleman.
Instrumental bliss from across the Tasman
If you managed to drag yourself out of the house a few months ago to catch Sydney based heavy rockers Cog on their cross-country jaunt in October, then you will have doubt managed caught New Zealand (Napier) based instrumental act Jakob in support. If on the other hand you missed out on Jakob’s incredible performances, all I can say is that you missed out big time, as Solace only compounds the fact. Having already released two highly respected albums (2001’s Subsets Of Sets and 2003’s Cale:Drew), it’s been a long wait for Jakob (Who comprise of guitarist Jeff Boyle, bassist Maurice Beckett and drummer Jason Johnston) to return with something new, but the wait has been more than worth it.
The gentle and rhythmic Malachite is a slow building introduction to the album that sees the trio build up toward an explosive tail end, all the while maintaining a sense of hypnotic groove with a distinct and memorable catchiness. The predominately bass driven Pneumonic is far heavier initially (Enhanced with some sampling from H. Walker), but gives way around the middle to allow the guitars to add some atmospheric tones, only to find the trio turn things up towards the crushing finale. Lonesome is one of the more reflective numbers on the album in which the guitars are used for subtle (And at times eerie) tones rather than for anything resembling a riff (Which is aided by producer Dave Holmes, who puts in a guest performance on guitar), while the up-tempo Oran Mor chops and changes from moody lulls to raging feedback.
The single (And first promotional video clip filmed from the album) Safety In Numbers is similar in nature to the album’s opening cut with it’s ever ascending build on layers of sound, while the epic Everything All Of The Time (Featuring HDU’s Tristan Dingemans on guitar and vocals) and the melancholy/delicate Saint are rich tapestries in sound movement, and stand out as the album’s strongest moments.
Describing Jakob is no easy task, but if you were to combine elements of Jesu, Pelican, Isis and Neurosis together into an instrumental form, you’ll know just how special Jakob really is, and how utterly essential Solace is to your collection.

Envy - Insomniac Doze

I wouldn't worry about the RIAA with these bands. I'm sure the RIAA doesn't even know most of these bands exists.

FUCK the RIAA! But the fact that they aren't worried about these bands means we should support them by buying their CDs.
These guys work hard and spend a ton of dough to bestow upon us the Rock,
if we want them to continue we should pay them for their work, just like any other service.
At least buy a shirt when at the show...

I definitely still buy albums, especially when the band plays a show down here. Trouble is in the stores they usually charge import prices so I can't always afford to buy the albums.
But when they tour down here, I definitely make the effort to go along.

Sorry it took so long; my internet was being unbearably slow yesterday. Here's one of the five albums.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/4vvhyc
This is Agalloch - The Mantle.
It was a cold and unpleasant afternoon as I left the used CD store. The sky was grey and I prepared myself for the journey home. As I put on my hat and opened the door to leave the store, I turned on my CD player and zipped up my coat. Although I was feeling eager to get home, and out from the cold, something strange happened at that moment. As the music began flowing through my headphones, and the opening chords immediately surrounded me in their dark, melancholy atmosphere, I was suddenly overwhelmed with an urge to go for a long walk. As I reached into my coat and increased the volume, I began observing the people around me as they went along with their daily comings and goings. As I continued on my march, still observing the life that surrounded me, the sombre mood of the music continued to accompany me along my way. The sky remained bleak, and the air cold as the afternoon wore on...
If you can create a mental image of the scene that I have just described, then you already have I clear idea of what AGALLOCH's newest release "The Mantle" sounds like. Having read many positive reviews regarding this group from the bleak landscapes of Oregon, I was very curious to hear them for myself. While I had heard a few songs prior to purchasing this release, nothing could quite prepare me for the dark, depressive nature of AGALLOCH's music. The inescapable atmosphere of this collection of songs is truly breathtaking. The emphasis on acoustics contribute greatly to this emotional masterwork. Though the songs remain in the slow, to mid-tempo range, it never becomes a problem, as fast drumming and sweeping riffs would seem out of place on "The Mantle". While the use of repetition throughout this album may be seen as boring, I feel that it helps to add to the overall sense of longing and foreboding expressed by the musicians. Like a flowing river, each track joins together seamlessly, giving the listener a true sense of appreciation for "The Mantle"'s complete nature. While all songs work together to make this album the achievement that it is, look no further than the fourteen minute epic "In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion" to truly experience AGALLOCH's greatness. While Metalheads looking for a place to bang their heads may be turned away by AGALLOCH's calmness, this album will easily appeal to any looking for an original, yet challenging musical experience that will reveal its beauty over time. AGALLOCH have managed to create an album worthy of the attention of any music fan, which is why "The Mantle" deserves to be perceived as a great musical achievement.
...As I finally reached the end of my street, the final awe-inspiring note resounded from my CD player, only to be replaced by silence. In awe, I attempted to grasp what I had just experienced, but failed to successfully do so. My journey had come to its end as I entered my house, feeling welcomed by its warmth. The air was still cold, and the sky still grey as I took one final look outside. Emotionally drained, I shut the door.

This is Dysrhythmia - Barriers And Passages
Prog rock is dangerous terrain. Step one way, and you fall into the wretched excess of Emerson, Lake & Palmer. A misstep another way leads to the interminably turgid Dream Theater. Abandon all hope (of meeting girls), ye who listen to Yes! The problem with prog is self-indulgence; the genre brings to mind guys with ponytails who sit around and praise Rush for its "musicianship." But now that bands like The Mars Volta (and in the past, Built to Spill) has made prog less unhip, Dysrhythmia should find fans outside the usual long-haired circles.
This instrumental trio has what most prog doesn't: restraint. No note is out of place, and the group eschews "jamming" in favor of tight but adventurous composition. Bassist Colin Marston and guitarist Kevin Hufnagel are virtuosos; Marston moonlights in avant-prog metal band Behold…the Arctopus, while Hufnagel is trained in jazz and classical guitar. But despite its technical bent, the group knows how to groove, and concisely conveys its chops without sounding studied.
After two self-released recordings, including the phenomenal No Interference, the band signed to grind/death metal label Relapse Records. The pairing might seem odd, but the band's chops match or exceed those of anyone on the label. In 2003, Dysrhythmia recorded Pretest with Steve Albini, who captured the band with his signature "live in the room" sound. Albini was a good choice; he recorded The Jesus Lizard's best albums, and at times Dysrhythmia sounds like The Jesus Lizard playing instrumental surf rock filtered through the prog metal of Atheist and Cynic.
On Barriers and Passages, Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, Dresden Dolls, Helmet) is behind the boards. His work is so stellar that the album's promotional sticker hypes his role as engineer. Albini brought out Marston's huge, distorted bass tone and Jeff Eber's tough, yet supple drumming (again, think of The Jesus Lizard's rhythm section), but Bisi adds more clarity and detail. A notable difference from Pretest is the greater use of overdubs. They don’t often happen, as Hufnagel's playing is so full-bodied that he already sounds like more than one guitarist. But when they do, overdubs allow sustained melodies to soar over staccato, Duane Denison-esque chords on "Seal/Breaker/Void," and crystalline harmonics to chime over the wall of noise that ends "Sleep Decayer."
That song is noteworthy, both for its twitchy double-time and growling half-time passages, and for its technical prowess. Three minutes in, Hufnagel plays what sounds like a drone, but what is actually a single note picked repeatedly. He continues for two and a half minutes, picking sixteenth notes until the end of the song. That's endurance.
Hufnagel's basic tone is twangy (imagine Dick Dale, but tougher), but he liberally dials in both clean tones and muscular distortion, resulting in the band's most diverse album yet. While Dysrhythmia's music is challenging, close inspection reveals kindred spirits; Touch and Go, classic Dischord (the band has covered Fugazi live), Joe Satriani (minus the populist tendencies), Trenchmouth, The Mermen, and Mastodon all inhabit the same constellation of controlled dissonance.

You mean Irepress? We have similar tastes, they're among my favorite mentioned so far.
Lots of killer 5/4 + 7/4, they're like a heavier, more modern, and instrumental King Crimson.
Love all the instrumental stuff, great soundtracks for The Cosmic Trigger series I'm reading.

i think beware of safety is close in sound to Irepress, and gift from enola, which im gonna put up tomorrow, is also close in sound, not quite as 'dark' tho. windmills by the ocean has a similar sound as well, ...but Irepress is in its own ballpark when it comes to sound..i think about it more and try to put somethings up that might be similar..red sparrowes as kinda the same vibe..
so, for fans of Irepress, download these:
Beware of Safety
Gifts From enola
windmills by the ocean
red sparrowes
north
caspian
those arent EXACT replicas of Irepress, but who would want that any ways, but they are similar in that they are all instrumental, and all explore the light and dark sounds of music.
i uploaded on this post one song from North's latest album, Ruins, to give an example of hte light/dark sounds im speaking of.
