There are two artists named Palaces: One plays heavy, droney, excessively loud hardcore from downstate new york. The other Palaces was founded in 2010 by drummer Mike Quigley in Sydney, Australia, following the dissolution of metal band Tourettes. The group attempts to fuse the expansive textures of bands like Isis and Mogwai with minimalistic 'choral' style vocal textures, originally inspired by Arvo Part and renaissance choral music.
Formed in late 2003 at the age of seventeen, 52 Commercial Road have been developing the post-rock sound far beyond the loud-quiet riffs we're used to. Emotive soundscapes built on fragile foundations become crescendous taking the listener to introspective worlds never explored. The band have become most well known through being part of various projects in London,UK aimed at the re-use of derelict and empty spaces from benefit nights, to art exhibitions to squat parties.
There are at least two artists named "Corleone": 1) Combining post-rock ideals with unique vocals and dark, brooding lyrics, Corleone are a four-piece band from Sheffield, UK.
The band self-released two EPs; Crude Black Millions, recorded in May 2005 and TV! Sing Me To Sleep, recorded in March 2006. A second run of TV! Sing Me To Sleep has since been released through Corps Morts.
Though some characteristic post-rock sounds are present in many of their songs, this does not define the music, which is enhanced with unique vocals.

Gifts From Enola is a band from Virginia that juxtaposes elements of post-rock with a burgeoning hard-rock approach and a touch of the "experimental" style, to soften that harshness. Some songs explode with blistering intensity and then sink slowly back into sonic landscapes with a milder disposition. At some points, the sound climbs out of that landscape, developing an ambient texture salted with a few field recordings. Their use of hypnotic riffs can be singularly effective.
1) Kontinuum Icelandic Ambient Metal
Kontinuum started as the brainchild of Birgir Thorgeirsson, a founding and current member of dark metal act Potentiam. The seed of Kontinuum started way back in 2001 when Birgir teamed up with former Potentiam drummer Kristjan Heidarsson to record an EP called Burned and Battered under the band name Pornea. This was an experimental metal project mixing doom with punk and dark atmospheric metal.
