Post-metal is a subgenre of heavy metal that incorporates elements of post-rock and shoegaze. It is characterized by its atmospheric and expansive sound, often featuring long, instrumental passages and complex song structures. The genre typically emphasizes texture and mood over traditional songwriting conventions, and often incorporates elements of ambient music and experimental soundscapes. Post-metal bands often utilize a variety of instrumentation, including guitars, bass, drums, and keyboards, and frequently incorporate elements of electronic music and sampling. The genre has gained popularity in recent years, with a number of notable bands emerging from the scene.
