    Dark Ambient

    Lately I've really been enjoying Daudi Baldrs by Burzum, but I can't find any dark ambient artists that have a style similar to this. So, I'm looking for any dark ambient that sounds very similar in style to Burzum, don't care if they're black metal influenced or not. Basically just looking for...

    Slam

    Alright, I know that there are tons of terrible bands that populate this genre, so I'm looking for the best albums to be found here.

    Drum Machines

    What is your opinion on drum machines? They're so easy to hate on, but I really don't think the hate is justified. Certainly, they usually produce a more homogenized sound than a real drummer, but they're one of the reasons that a lot of kickass one man bands have formed. Still, I think that...

    Blackened Doom

    What are some good bands in this sub-genre? I've been listening to When All the Laughter Has Gone by Dolorian, and love it.
