That&#x27;s probably one of my key focus bands... though I&#x27;d probably list:<p>ISIS — Oceanic <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=r2C8Z1Keluk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=r2C8Z1Keluk</a><p>ISIS — Panopticon <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=xA2AJIiw0p8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=xA2AJIiw0p8</a><p>ISIS — In The Absence of Truth <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=atCKkDusJkc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=atCKkDusJkc</a><p>The latter being a more accessible, earthlier sound (with no growling); yet the former two being the greater works.<p>Additionally, some classic post-rock masterpieces by GY!BE:<p>Godspeed You! Black Emperor — F# A# ∞ <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=wy4IsC5eb7o" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=wy4IsC5eb7o</a><p>Godspeed You! Black Emperor — Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=PZwQeZh6rP0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=PZwQeZh6rP0</a><p>As a track is named, the former is bleak, uncertain, beautiful; both melancholic and uplifting with despairing wails and wavering cries of tears and joy. The second is the more known GY!BE album, which is just as good.<p>Nowadays, I just listen to whatever strikes my mood (I can tune most stuff out), but the ones I listed above were particularly good for focusing during essay writing.
