Albums with atmosphere/imagery

That must make message board convos difficult... I mean everyone has to give the same answers at you... what you need is a mirror

anyway enough of this pointlessness back on topic.

Dark Sanctuary: a 6 peice french ambient band, create beautiful melencholic atmospheres about Rain, old forgotten castles, forests, lakes and funerals. It's dark but inherantly peaceful and gentle. I only own Royaume Mélancolique but it is an absolutely beautiful album and about as far away as you can get from metal, so pick it up if you want something very different.
