The border between rock and metal music has always been blurry. Today, those who were considered metal predecessors are now known as rock artists (Iron Maiden, Metallica: yes, for me they never did anything but playing hard rock). Standards are changing: new emerging groups make old metal monsters sound like dinosaur friends of Pink Floyd. Finally, there are many 'servants of Satan' inspired by rock, which even more complicates the matters.After inventing a ridiculous term post-rock, someone made up even worse: post-metal. Now everyone, who is not growling like madman to percussion blasts plays post-metal. Long Distance Calling is no exception. Five Germans with two longplays released so far indeed love heavy sounds. But terms like post-metal are in fact excuses: their creators simply refuse to analyze the complexity of forms new bands are using. Everything that is not 'straightforward' may be called post-something: what's the point in that?
Enough of this. Let the Germans mess everything up by playing song that is definetely post-rock one on metal album. Their friends from Katatonia (recorded some vocals to one of LDC songs) may not be impressed by this 'all-but-heavy' song, yet it is fine from my point of view.
