Post-metal is a mixture between the genres of post-rock, heavy metal, and shoegazing. Hydra Head Records owner and Isis frontman Aaron Turner originally termed the genre "thinking man's metal", demonstrating that his band was trying to move away from common metal conventions. "Post-metal" is the favored name for the growing genre, but it is also referred to as metalgaze or shoegaze metal as a play on shoegazing, as well as atmospheric metal, and experimental metal,〔 though this last term is also used to describe avant-garde metal. ==History== Journalist Simon Reynolds writes that: According to Aaron Turner of Isis, experimental bands such as Melvins, Godflesh and Neurosis "laid the groundwork for us () we're part of a recognizable lineage".〔 Although Neurosis and Godflesh appeared earlier and display elements befitting post-metal, Isis, who like Neurosis are linked to the sludge metal scene, are often credited with laying down the conventions and definition of the genre in less nebulous terms, with their release of ''Oceanic'' in 2002. Helmet's albums ''Meantime'' (1992) and ''Betty'' (1994) are cited as having "eschewed the traditional concept of heavy music" and having "trademarked the drop-D power-groove in 5/4." They may be considered "definitive texts in post-metal." Previously, Tool had been labelled as post-metal in 1993 and 1996, as well as in 2006, after the term came into popularity. In 2009, Jim Martin of ''Terrorizer'' commented that Neurosis' 1996 album ''Through Silver in Blood'' "effectively invented the post-metal genre".〔Jim Martin, "Retroaction," ''Terrorizer'' #188, September 2009, p. 80.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Post-metal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
