If you like isis (best live show EVAR, I handed Aaron Turner a bottle of water) then here are some things to try:
Agalloch, as previously mentioned.
Mastodon
Opeth
Jesu (opened for isis that night, also amazing)
The Red Sparowes (neurosis and isis members)
Old Man Gloom (aaron turner)

Also, check out Isis and Aaron Turner's various side projects on wikipedia.

Also, you might try some black metal along the lines of Drudkh.

@Prozakk: Wikipedia actually does an excellent job of explaining the eccentricities of all the subgenres.

Besides wikipedia, a good source of info on everything, you can try Metal Archives. Some of bands mentioned on this thread don't appear there but Isis does: http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=4844. Metal Archives is the most complete source of information on everything metal.

You can also take a look at last.fm: http://www.last.fm/music/Isis?q=Isis. You have the "similar artists" on the left, also click on the "sludge" tag on the cloud in the top right.

death metal loves raping the innocents

black metal loves satan

power metal loves dragons

thrash metal loves gambling and alcohol

sludge and stoner metal love drugs and sometimes dragons

glam metal loves hairspray and fast cars

doom metal loves amplifiers and literature

prog metal loves all things speedy

viking metal loves vikings of course

folk metal loves out-of-place acoustic guitar interludes

symphonic metal loves violins and cheese

avant-garde metal loves all of the above and then some

this concludes thelonious monk's guide to metal.

ROTFL!

Turns out that I listen to every Metal genre...

Chimaira and Trivium have been getting the heaviest rotation in my iPod lately.

 

[Chopha]

I would recommend these (as many others);
Neurosis
Cult Of Luna
Earth
Burst
Pelican
Red Sparowes
Yob
Switchblade
Khoma
Jesu
Mogwai

But definitely much much worse also.

Australasia rocks.

I went to ISIS' concert in Bristol. They were great but I preferred my favourite post-rock band to them, which is MONO from Japan.

I don't like lyrics in my post-rock, so MONO works out very well for me.

If you can find, try The Flames Beyond The Cold Mountain - MONO, on their 4th album You Are There. Website : http://www.mono-jpn.com/e/disc/index.html

 

[KinesongPayaso]

is that official now, monk?

still no post metal :S

Good choices, although I'm not a fan of the new Trivium stuff. Chimaira's self titled though is very very well-done.
