Extreme doom metal and post-rock, while on the face of it seeming like polar opposites, aren’t actually all that incompatible; both are often geared towards atmosphere and emotion, both are often on the slower side of the spectrum, and both can feature climactic swells of volume. To that end, in a world where metal musicians constantly seek whatever musical territory that remains unchartered, it’s perhaps unsurprising to see bands exploring the similarities and contrasts of hellish and heavenly sounds.
