Are there any bands out there similar to Alcest, Mortifera, Ameosoeurs or Drudkh? Im looking for beautifully crafted, atmospheric black metal.
Gris is like this, and i just heard Il était une forêt... last night. Great shit, wish that would happen more often from Canada Also check out Children of Maani's EP, and early Blut Aus Nord.
Wolven Ancestry Raventale Nachtmystium Gris (kind of psychotic beauty though) some of Angantyr Marblebog Melechesh
Austere (Aus) Njiqahdda Nyktalgia Paysage d'Hiver (at times) Peste Noir Velvet Cacoon Vinterriket Yeah...these are probably horrible recs.
Horn, Mgla ,October Falls, Peordh, Sombres Forêts, Walknut. Some of these are closer than others. All good listens though.
The only thing why you would think it's strange is that Melechesh are not that slow and are aggressive. Most of their stuff still beautiful.
I'll definitely second the rec for Walknut. I haven't heard the band Omni posted, so I'll have to check 'em out
Forest of Fog, Sammath Naur, Welicoruss (Rus), Wyrd, Forefather, Moonsorrow and Pagan Reign. Most of those are Pagan/Folk Black Metal.
