Genre: Cascadian Black Metal

Another spawn of the growing Cascadian black metal scene, Leech stand alongside Ash Borer and Fell Voices as one of the best acts to play the sound. Ten Black Hymns is by far Leech's best effort, the pinnacle of their handful of impressive releases.

Olafur Arnalds- ...And They Have Escaped The Weight Of Darkness (2010)

Genre: Neoclassical
Country: Iceland

Icelandic gentleman Olafur Arnalds is a brilliant composer. His piano-driven pieces are a definition of atmosphere, providing a dark but rewarding neoclassical soundscape that is all-encompassing. If you even think you'd like this, I highly recommend taking a listen.

Fauna - The Hunt (2007)

Genre: Ambient Black Metal
Country: United States

Fauna's The Hunt is a monolith. It's an 80-minute, one-track album of captivating ambient/atmospheric black metal. The buildups are immense, and it all just crashes down in the final 20 minutes. Really impressive stuff; this makes other black metal in this vein *cough*wolves in the throne room*cough* seem terrible (which they generally are). Good shit if you feel like sitting through it.
