September Malevolence's previous EP, my introduction to their music, left me more than a little cold. Post-rock in its current GY!BE/Mogwai/Sigur Rós mold is left with little in terms of innovation because everybody uses the same structures and the basic premise. That's where songwriting comes in. Good songwriters, whether or not their genre has been explored in every little corner, will create good music. September Malevolence aren't quite there yet, but considering the progression between the EP and this one, they could very well have something very special soon.

Cult of Luna created with their first two full lengths a pretty interesting, if not always very original, take on the Neurosis/Isis-influenced metal/hardcore. They managed to keep some of the aggression up front while making the slow and lengthy progression alive and punishing. "Salvation" continues in that vein but a much more pronounced influenced by the post-rock heavyweights of the moment; like Mogwai or Godspeed You! Black Emperor. CoL still manage to hit a home run with this record. No way in hell you don't like this.
