I find Converge to be pretty cool as well, quite apart from other Hardcore / Post Hardcore bands soundwise I think, and they Rock live, as does / did Isis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9wZDd_GgPs
I would not call either Mastodon or Isis post-hardcore, especially not Isis, there is really no punk to them whatsoever. They are definitely post-metal, and I probably wouldn't argue with someone calling them either post-rock or progressive metal.
Eh. Early Isis and early Neurosis (who are, for all intents and purposes, identical to early Isis) definitely have links to hardcore and punk, especially when you look at bands like Amebix and the whole Crust scene.
If you're talking about, say, the Bad Brains, then I can see where you're coming from.

In the documentary Blood, Sweat and Vinyl one of the members of Neurosis talks about how Amebix, Black Flag and Void were all big influences on their sound and aesthetic.

That's the one! I just watched it a few days ago. I'm new to a lot of those bands (I know, I know). Really gives you a picture of the fluidity of those bands and labels.
Can't say I have any bands to add that haven't been mentioned, but I do love this thread.
And thanks to the cool mf'er for posting that Blood Sweat and Vinyl doc. I had remembered hearing about it but never looking it up. I'll watch it soon.
awesome signature with witty quotes from all you fuckers

I'm definitely not going to argue with you on that one, as I'm not an authority on either early Isis or early Neurosis, as I'm not really a fan of either one's early stuff. I've tried and just can't get into any Isis before Oceanic, or any Neurosis before Times of Grace
