I don’t know if this Tucson-based metal band is still active, but I rather like their 2008 album What You Were, which trots along loudly, with growly vocals by Kyle Hardy, at a steady, unrushed pace. I’m not sure if they would be called “melodic metal” or “post-rock” in the current jargon, but there is both melodic and rythmic sophistication in most of the songs. “Eidolon” and “Falling In Perpetuum” stand out among the tracks. The album has a fine balance, sequencing the songs to good effect in a genre which tends to turn albums into undifferentiated blurs. I also have an EP from the same year, Ruins.
