Dark Ambient

Dark ambient is a subgenre of ambient music that features foreboding, ominous, or discordant overtones. Dark ambient emerged in the 1980s and 1990s with the introduction of new synthesizer and sampling technology in the electronic music genre and other technical advances in music. Dark ambient is a diverse genre, related to industrial music, noise, ethereal wave, and black metal, yet generally free from derivatives and connections to other genres or styles.

Dead Can Dance не слишком коммерческий проект, хоть и достаточно популярны, да. И вообще не волнуйся так, в любом жанре в "лучших исполнителях" будут указаны левые не относящиеся к жанру артисты. DA убьют херки и блекари. Уже, в общем-то.

Готика убила к хуям этот жанр своим мерзким оттенком романтики - не удивительно, сколько тут коммерческих проектов: Antimatter, Arcana, Dargaard, Dark Sanctuary, Dead Can Dance, Die verbannten Kinder Evas, Elend, Karl Sanders, Midnight Syndicate, Mortiis, Nox Arcana...тысячи их! Даёшь чистоту жанра - долой ХЕРню

I thought I would check this out, because it seems interesting. I just listened to Nox Arcana - Pandora's Music Box and it's amazing. Very atmospheric. Can anyone suggest some more dark ambient to me, it's very interesting.

I randomly typed in dark ambient because I like ambient, but needed something darker right now. And this is exactly what I was looking for! <3
