I'm exploring genres. I listen to anything thrown at me, but feel like diving futher into the Apocalyptic pool. I've already heard of and enjoy a few bands:
The Death in June (my current favorite)
Current 93
Godspeed You Black Emporer!
Explosions in the Sky
NON
Boyd Rice and Friends

Anyone know of any other talented Apocalyptic artists? The bands listed above have some great sounds (most of which I've never heard before) and are quite interesting (if your into that sort of thing). Are there any other good ones?

Oh yeah, Apocalyptica, been to two concerts already. Life Burns without vocals is amazing.

I guess the simplest description would be,( Four Finnish classical cellists who also play heavy metal).

Apocalyptica is like Metallica's S&M album, but thats all they do.

They get bonus points for doing something different, and good.

Spike_Ball, I just downloaded their song "Sit in the Middle of Three Galloping Dogs" and all I can say is "wow." Very moving. Thanks
