For the uninitiated, Mogwai are a post-rock band from Glasgow of three decades' standing. They’re masters of the genre and are able to switch from moments of vulnerability to sheets of howling feedback at the stomp of a pedal. They’re probably louder than most bands you could care to mention, and to witness them live is something akin to a religious experience.
We've got a feeling that some sections of the metal community have them pigeonholed as a band for 6 Music-loving, coffee-nerd soundtrack collectors, and while they'd be partially right, we can't help but feel some of you are missing out. And their song titles evoke more than a page of lyrics could.
Here, then, are 10 heavy Mogwai songs for metal fans. You lucky, lucky people.
