Its basically just a metal-genre that incoporates a whole load of extreme metal genres (Black, Death, Doom and Sludge etc) and mixes all this in with ambient sounds (a dominant aspect) also there is the use of synths as well. At times it sounds similiar to some of the ambient and progressive metal bands out there. If you want to listen to a great post-metal band I heavily recommend Neurosis.
