none of that Windham Hill shite, I mean dissonant moans from hell heard whilst lurking 'alone' in the dark forest kinda shite (I'm so picky!)

my leads so far:
Coil
some Painkiller (Ambient mode)
latter-day Burzum

Xasthur
Azrael

coil is a good choice, also go with ulver

that new Xasthur sucks, I've given it many chances and it's just plain weak, I hope his other CDs are better

BTW, your Black Metal / Black Ambient suggestions are VERY welcome here

Check out Exuma, I just dug some out of my collection the other day, It's this fucked up Voodoo folk music from the 70's, totally strange satanic world beat. not metal but just as evil.

cryostasium

yeah I don't need strictly metal, just creepy

that reminds me I have an audiotape of the Jonestown mass suicide, I should dig it out and fall asleep to that tonight

For Black Metal / Black Ambient stuff, check out Persefone, Agalloch, and Frantic Bleep (bad name, cool band).

contagious orgasm?
anything on :ant-zen: or hymen records.
khante

forgotten woods

Some burzun shit.

I'll trade a copy of Exuma for a copy of the Jonestown tape

predator soundtrack.

the Jonestown tape I copied off my friend in High School

it's basically him preaching through a very distorted microphone while in the background you can hear mothers screaming as they are being forced at gunpoint to make their kids drink the Kool-Aid

he begs them to calm down. Repeatedly. Crazy fuck.

but the creepiest part is the MUSIC HE HAS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND, it's very kum-ba-ya, bad church choir music which sounds like it's being played on a Victrola that's been warped by a sledgehammer blow

neverthless, anyone wants it, lemme know. It was taped off a 12" but you can probably only find THAT fucker in certain morbid circles

I must hear this Jonestown tape, at some point

i want to hear this

In Slaughter Natives. Fucking awesome. Bob got me into it.

haha, you'd hate it, you kinda have to use your imagination because it's a bunch of distorted voices

but I do recommend it neverthless. Too bad I don't have the Bud Dwyer suicide video, but Kreator sampled it in 'Karmic Wheel'

Dark Muse
Funerary Call
older Xasthur material
xARKANEx
Lycia
Dead Can Dance
Manes
old Thorns (demo stuff)
Bleak
Nothing
Dissecting Table
Vidna Obmana
Steve Roach
Mike VanPortfleet (amazing!)
Michael Stearns
Sunn O)))
Cryostasium

I can go on.

please do, when you feel like it, I am taking note

You would probablly like Blunt Aus Nord.

and I will.

e-fisch
Aphex Twin (albeit, one album called Selected Ambient Works vol II)
lovesliescrushing
Death in June (not ambient, but creepy as hell and I love it)
The VLE
BRIAN ENO. (I can't believe no one mentioned this guy for creepy ambient)

Blut Aus Nord is THE SHIT. Get them now.

Dissecting Table not very ambient, but good choice.

and if you are going to listen to Dissecting Table,
also do some mezbow, masonna, and all the zornian things.. like naked city, torture garden, masada, masada chamber...

I know it's not ''ambient''. Larissa just said ''creepy'' after a while, so I figured why not. He's an ass kicking machine.

Im telling you, Blun Aus Nord is the way to go.

early Swans too

Strep_Cunt said:

yeah creepy works, doesn't have to be droney, just void-ey and dark, like how the reverb on Bathory 'Under the Sign of the Black Mark' sounds

well Dissecting Table isn't really ''void'' like the reverb on that Bathory album, more like cold and calculating machinery black ambient. You'd probably really like Sunn O))) then.

Also, i can't believe i forgot Velvet Cacoon. That's a perfect combination of black metal and ambient music. It sounds like black metal vapor.

now all I need is a bottomless pocketbook and x-ray vision

and the greatest in noise Angelo Badalamenti the soundtracks that man puts together are amazing and pure genius !

oh i remember cul de sac

holy cow and sleep chamber too!

Don't know if it necessarily fits the context of what you're looking for, but Devil Doll is quite a creepy listen. "Dies Irae" is my favorite.

litacore said:

Sleep Chamber was the shit. John Zewizz was the man, and so were Women of the SS/Women of Sodom. Too bad Cynthia von Buhler had to pussy out and do ''Countess''

yay, sleep chamber

when they found half a swedish nanny in a dumpster around here a few years ago, didn't they question john zewizz because of his "occultish" and "morbid" leanings? poor guy, just wanted to keep a few human skulls around his basement!

damnose said:

oh yeah, I remember that half nanny

I didn't know about the Sleep Chamber connection though

what a fine region we live in for music!
and half-nannies--

Tangerine Dream=Stratosfear and Rubycon.

also if you cut out the vocals or in some cases don't the Beach Boys rock too. Ha !

Abruptum will always be classic.

masonna.

profanum, pazuzu & abruptum

contagious orgasm

the Silent Hill soundtracks... The resident evil remake soundtrack.

i agree, the silent hill soundtracks are extremely good ambient mixes of
weird, creepy, dark, and soothing
minus the pop rock they have sometimes.

isnt SunnO))) that band that makes people naucious with their live sound

the Sh4 ost is awesome... i like everything on it.. m,inus that guys voice in one of the songs... but yeah. SH music kicks ass.

arsonick said:

yeah def not, they might bore an audience to death but i have never heard of anyone getting sick just from the music !

loose bowels maybe Ha !

ambient music is amazing, porcupine tree's early stuff is amazing

also if you want some good, non-creepy, epic, dragon-slaying ambient-ish soundtrack music.... listen to Mortiis - "The Stargate" such a fucking bad ass album. perfect for your slumber.

rapoon, blut aus nord, krohm, many others

what nights are good for WZBC (90.3FM)'s 'No Commercial Potential'? It plays every weeknight from like 8 to midnight or so. This was the place I first discovered Xenakis and lots of sick-ass drone music.

sometimes they play really bad annoying techno, I much prefer dirge and drone to yo-baby's and house beats
