It emerged in the 1990s through the work of bands such as Neurosis and Godflesh, who transformed metal's texture through experimental composition. Fused with and inspired by post-rock and post-hardcore, the genre harnesses the darkness and intensity of extreme metal but emphasizes atmosphere, emotion, and even "revelation," drawing from a wide range of sources including ambient, noise, psychedelic, progressive, and classical music to develop an expansive but introspective sound. Post metal songs are typically long, with loose and layered structures that discard the verse-chorus form in favor of crescendos and recurring themes. The sound focuses on guitars and drums; any vocals usually scream or growl, resembling another instrument.
