Black Ambient

[CitizenKane]

anyone here into black ambient? I for one love Burzum's last two albums, most stuff by Vinterikket, Abruptum's 'Casus Luciferi',Atrium Carceri, Beherit's 'Electric Doom Synthesis' and Fenriz's (of Darkthrone fame) Neptune Towers side-project. Any thoughts?

Black ambient? What is the difference between that and dark ambient done by black metal members?

(and my opinion is that it is pretty good sometimes but most of the time dark ambient projects that aren't random side projects are much better).

Not metal. You can ask for recs of this kinda stuff in the rec forum, so I'll move you there.

I've always thought of Black Ambient as black metal that is very ambient and not structured like a normal metal song, or music that alternates between ambient and black metal. My guess would be something like Velvet Cacoon

Yeah I agree, or Darkspace for example. But that's not really what he was after in his initial post. :d

Try Ulver. They do some really dark ambient stuff.

Anything from Dungeons Deep Records would scratch your black ambient itch.

Daaang straight. Get some Njiqahdda while you're there if they have some.

Darkspace and Spektr.

Heard them several years ago and didn't much care for them but my taste in metal was a lot different. I should check them out again.
