Grails

I've only tried Burning Off Impurities, and I seem to only enjoy it if I'm going to sleep. I don't dislike it, I just haven't found anything special in it.

Doomsdayer's Holiday is solid. Checkout Black Math Horseman too, not overly similar but the same principle of different textures and female vocals.

I'm a huge fan of Doomsdayer's Holiday. To me, it's an almost perfect album.. They definitely captured what they were going for, in my opinion.

Jackhammer, I'm checking out Grayceon right now. Thanks.

All sorts of good suggestions.

Engine, I'm still not quite sure what their style is ... I like that, though. I like it when I can't place a band in a genre. At times, I feel like genres ruin the process of making music. Sure there are beneficial aspects of it, but doesn't it just seem limiting?

sidewinder, I don't know what it is, but I feel like everyone on here always downloaRAB Burning off Impurities first and it kind of just trails off from there. Though I'm quite fond of Black Tar Prophecies Vol. 1, 2, 3, this is all I've upped at the moment.

Jack, thanks for the suggestion. I'll check into them now.

ElephantSack, what do you think they were going for?\

Edit: **** yes on Black Math Horseman, Jackhammer! I dig it. Thanks!!

Style is different from genre. I just meant dark, instrumental rock music. The point is that I don't know of any instrumental rock band that is making music right now that I like more than Grails.

I can dig what you're saying. You ever listen to Sunn O)))?

**megness93** · 12-06-2010, 11:01 PM

O yea. I have to be in a very droney mood though. But I'm a huge fan of Greg Anderson in general.
It's not instrumental but my favorite band of his is a 90s relic called Engine Kid..

I listened to what you posted and exploring a little bit via youtube. I've been kind of sucked into the instrumental music lately, and this doesn't sound bad to me, but it might take a few more listens. It seems Anderson did a nuraber of albums with Engine Kid.

i think they pretty easily fall into the post-rock genre, but their middle eastern flair sets them apart from the pack in a pretty good way

i'll say this, though... if you can't get into them based on Burning Off Impurities, you probably just can't get into them. Its fairly demonstrative of their entire catalog.
