This thread could get a little expensive for me. Last fall/early winter I was finishing this massive writing project and I played a LOT of Ephemeral Sun, Vietgrove, The Future Kings of England, Colour Haze, Earthless, Pyramidal, and My Sleeping Karma. Love this stuff.

If that Monomyth sounds good (and I think it does), you should try Causa Sui. I'm not sure how post-metally they are, but they get heavy, and spacey, and it's pretty clear they love the Krautrock.

My guess is at least 12. I know that Trey Gunn was credited with 8 and 12 string Warr Guitar (and a stick is 10, right?). I'm not sure how it is different than a stick - they're both played touch style. I kinda got the impression that a Warr Guitar was "more guitar than bass" whereas a stick was "more bass than guitar" but both of them can perform as either.How many strings has that thing? It looks pretty heavy. The ony group in my collection that employs a Warr guitar, is Philharmonie. It look a bit like a cross between an ordinary guitar and a Chapman stick. But what are the adventages?
And, as for it's weight, I'm pretty sure that Gunn had to temporarily retire from playing the Warr Guitar due to tendinitis from playing it
No you didn't: "metally" should be spelled "metaly"
Just kidding - thanks Duncan for the fix.
And I am really loving the Monomyth. This weekend I'll probably pick up some Zebulon Pike (pretty inexpensive to get the mp3s from Amazon), which may be one of the coolest band names I've ever heard.

Indukti is a real good "dark" mostly instrumental band...
Enjoy the moment... It's the only way to fly!
That's the Phalanx model which is meant to be played uncrossed. This one has 7 bass and 7 treble strings. Both tuned in fourths. The advantages? You can more easily play two different parts at a time. It's easier to do contrapuntal stuff. It looks cool at prog gigs? Philharmonie is great. Their Warr guitarist plays a standard stick tuning with inverted fifths in the bass and fourths on the treble side
Brain Connect - Get On Time (Poland)
I picked up the self-titled Monomyth CD as a result of this thread, and am listening my way through it right now. I'm definitely thinking that if this scratches the itch, Djam Karet's The Devouring, and Gösta Berlings Saga's Glue Works would scratch it too.

Damn, the Brain Connect is good. After some quick searching, I could only find a two song EP from them at Bandcamp, and their webpage was all in Polish.
Does anyone have any more details?
Many Stick players swear this isn't true, but most Warr Guitarists feel the extra mass does indeed change the tone. The Warr guitar sounds more like a regular electric bass and guitar. The Stick has a very unique sound. The Stick's treble strings are known for sounding somewhat harp like. But, both instruments lend themselves to being treated with standard guitar and bass effects. Personal preference really when it comes down to it.
I can vouch for Anekdoten, Sunn O))), Colour Haze, Earthless & 35007. I have pretty much all of 35007's releases and several by the rest. Ufomammut is mostly instrumental. I have all of their stuff and recommend them.

Lots of good recommendations!
How about Morgilbl?

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

Yeah, I've picked up both of Monomyth's releases. Mein Gott they are good. They probably need their own thread at some point I'm thinking about picking up some Zebulon Pike this week, especially since their songs can be bought at Amazon without the "album only" restrictions: 22 minute long songs for under a dollar.
I picked up both Monomyth discs too. I am really enjoying them, especially during my pre-dawn commute. You'll have at least one other person on that thread.

Dark Fog has that blend of stoner/psych going and throws in a touch of My Bloody Valentine
