So let me start by saying that aside from the obligatory Death, my favorite metal band is Nile. And no, I'm not a fan because they can shred really fast. In fact, a lot of their music gives me goosebumps every time I listen. They just sound so profoundly dark and epic at times...
I digress. Anyway, at the same time, I'm not a big black metal fan for the most part, because while I find their music rather evil and dark in small snippets, I find it hard not to get bored 2 minutes into an average song. I think it's the "droning" factor of the way it's written, which I think doesn't really work well in aggressive music. Or, if they do write in a more complex musical way, often it comes out very cleanly produced and less raw (although I still do love those bands, I just listen to it alongside melodic death). Black metal bands I do like are Emperor, Deströyer 666, Absu, Ne Obliviscaris, Carach Angren, and Luna Ad Noctum.
So anyway, I guess what I'm looking for is either death metal bands that have haunting, dark, or climactic moments, or black metal that retains a raw sound without "droning" on and on.
Any suggestions?
