Akira Yamaoka-esque Black Metal

[Vimana]

I've really been digging the OSTs of the Silent Hill games, and I think that the melancholy, atmospheric, and somewhat scary moods created by piano, violin, and cello would go perfectly with Black Metal. Are there any bands that incorporate these kinds of sounds into their music?

Skogyr did a cover of one of his songs on the album, Rainchants

You know The Axis of Perdition right?

Tapping inspiration from H. P. Lovecraft, Ramsey Campbell and the Silent Hill games (their EP Physical Illucinations in the Sewer of Xuchilbara is named for the dark deity of the games) as well themes of urban decay and mental illness, The Axis of Perdition are often compared to groups like Anaal Nathrakh[2] and Blut aus Nord[3] for their similar grim, urban industrial metal aesthetics.
