Wonderfully depressing and dreamlike, Deathconsciousness deserves its status as a cult album. The entire record brings you into this dystopian journey into an absence of feeling, dissociation, and an overall crushing atmosphere.

Another post-rock piece, this one happens to be from one of my all-time favorite bands. This whole album plays out as an epic journey from life to death, with this space-age, artistic sound shaped around it. Weirdly enough it's based on the life and works of Immanuel Velikovsky, a Russian scientist from the 1900s. The lead singer actually was reading about him when trying to come up with ideas for a new album, and the band wound up creating and releasing this in the fall of 2009. Its a nostalgic work for me personally and I think it's one of the most underrated albums of all time.

Without a doubt my all-time favorite metal album. The sound created here is often described by listeners as "metal for astronauts," creating a sort of spacious music that builds and progresses into something so blindingly loud and powerful that by the time it's over you're just awestruck. There are strong uses of what sounds like prog-inspired riffs (specifically on the track Absent), melodic radiofrequency samples and a sort of conceptualized story around it. Hopefully, you don't mind loud music and screaming vocals.

A founding father of post-rock, this album invokes a lot of emotion out of me, and some days, that's a good thing. The frequent sounds of radio drones and somber guitar strings, the consistent provocative theme of life and death, the apocalypse, and the afterlife. Probably one of the most profound and spacious albums ever created, and all-around a very emotionally haunting work of music but I think that's what makes it so compelling.
