Black Sea of Trees by my new project Northumbria with Jim Field of Rhea's Obsession. Long format ambient metal/dronescape, mega amplified and recorded live with no overdubs in the sanctuary of an 18th century Church. Sit back, turn it up and let your mind melt. I wanted to share it with you, even though it hasn't been mastered. For now you can download the entire song in any format for free. Enjoy. http://northumbria.bandcamp.com/track/black-sea-of-trees-2

When sludge gets really doomy it can become atmospheric without becoming post-metallic. Examples are CORRUPTED and FLESHPRESS. So post-metal is the better name for this genre. The term 'post' is ok either since the bands seem to take a different approach to their music than most metal bands do. It is hard to explain, but if you're a metalhead you know what I'm talking about.

Maybe I could be wrong about these genres and progressive or non-slow sludge o.O
