Well im guessing youd like more of the atmospheric stuff rather than thrash so here goes:

Drudkh



I would consider this top 5 metal albums(Autumn Aurora) for sure. It really is a beautiful work. Ambient-driven black metal i suppose

An Autumn for Crippled Children



very syrup-y shoegaze stuff similar to Alcest.

Agalloch



One of the "coldest" albums (The Mantle) ever imo. Really does a great job of using folk and acoustic sounds as well as black metal techniques (for lack of a better term).

I would say all three of those bands arent "loud" bands but rather utilize the metal aspect to create a certain atmosphere. More beauty than ugly i guess.

i have an idea for a sort of variant on what's happening here. See what you think, as the thread itself is kind of dying...

Someone (anyone) post ONE video, and one only, on ANY genre, subgenre or about any artiste they want. ANYONE who wants to comment on the thread MUST listen to the song and give an HONEST opinion on it. While that's going on anyone else can post another video, but only (initially) one per member and ideally try to select as different artistes as you can. I'm guilty as anyone of skipping videos here but this would sort of force everyone to listen to it and then comment. I mean, what's it gonna take out of our lives? Five minutes? Ten? Twenty if it's one of my prog epics?

C'mon! Give it a try! Could almost be seen as an extension of Rez's sadly-missed Mixtape of the week...

Okay then I'll start, and here is a weird one to get us going. Honest comments only please. If you hate it, say so but also say why, same if you like it. Did it surprise you? Bore you? Annoy you? Make you want to find out where I live and come calling with a ten-gauge? Let everyone know!

wow.....seriously i was expecting they typical kind of satire that Will pumps out through his music....and it seemed to start that way....but really took a major u-turn

kind of depressing....but in a good way (if thats possible) the music was very fitting for the ultimate mood created by the song....i feel like i should know who is singing the chorus but i just can't place the name....either way it really works

turned out to be a really nice track
