Most post-metal bands are not associated with the ocean/sea - although it is a pervasive trend among many, especially American post-metal bands. The ocean/sea suits the ideology of the genre which is typically characterized by onslaughts of heavy walls of sound, often interspersed with lulls, and builds to powerful climaxes. This applies most readily to those post-metal bands - once again typically American - whose style is mainly derived from sludge metal. Other common themes of different styles of post-metal include forests (or nature in general), space, industrial/machine, and conceptual ideas.
