Atmospheric/depressive black/death metal with richness in sound.

[SkeletonWitch]

Basically, what I seek is a band like Gris, albeit with a better sounding production.

 

[Pyro Stick]

Dont know if this is the exact sound you are after but its still decently produced stuff and some of my favourite ambient black metal:





If you like them then search for the second parts on youtube.

 

[The Emptier]

Good sir it seems that you have not heard the greatest band out there.

Pensees Nocturnes.





Also Septicflesh is a great atmospheric death metal band

 

[SkeletonWitch]

That Nychts track was very good !

 

[SkeletonWitch]

I know Pensees Nocturnes. Did listen to them before and was not that impressed. But I really liked the two songs posted above. I'll definitely give them another shot.

Holy shit, I am totally addicted to Pensées Nocturnes ! Any more recommendations ?

Lantlos perhaps

Lantlos are good, a bit post-rocky but in a good way.

I take it if you aren't big on Gris's production you're not terribly interested in Sombres Forets? They did a collab project with Gris called Miserere Luminis, too, but the production value is all in the same vein.

So glad to hear it! the two albums are very different, i think i like grotesque better but vacuum is more depressive...he's literally crying in some of it hahaha
but yeah he's stellar

I think maybe Fen, Wolves in the Throne Room, Negura Bunget, Drudkh, Blood of Kingu, Paysage d'Hiver may be up your alley

 

[SkeletonWitch]

I happen to have liked Vaccum more, because it's less pompous, and the guitarwork in it is very tasteful. Still, both albums are masterpieces.

Fen I am already a big fan of. I have listened to all other bands you stated except for Paysage D'Hiver. Will check them out.

Negura Bunget, I did not like them for some reason, but I haven't listened much. Care to give me a couple of tracks to listen to, so I may give them another shot ?

You should check out Darkspace as well. The guy in paysage d'hiver is in darkspace.

Lantlos are good, a bit post-rocky but in a good way.

Will be checking them out soon.

Their best tracks imo are Tesarul de Iumini and Dedesuptul, but most of Om rules.

As far as albums, Om > 'n Crugu Bradului > Maiestrit (the new one) > Virstele Pamintului > anything else..

My newest discovery : When Mine Eyes Blacken



Holy shit !

 

[SkeletonWitch]

By the way, does everyone hear an annoying white noise/static voice all along Gris songs, or is it just my speakers ?

Gris' music is really well composed, and i totally dig his desperate shrieks and howls, but WTF is it with the ridiculous amounts of SHSHHDSHDHSDHAHSDHASDHASHDAHSDHASDHASHDAHSDHHSSHSHSHS treble sound ? Totally ruins the music.

 

[The Emptier]

Lol listen to the Paysage d'Hiver tracks, sounds like fucking CRAP

^^ that band is sick, shall look up more/get the album

 

[Zephyrus]

Lunar Aurora?

 

[cookiecutter]

When Mine Eyes Blacken are great, glad someone else likes them

You might like Austere

No...not at all.
