Sun O))) is probably the best example. If you browse around death metal eps/lps you will see at least one dark ambient track

I was interested to hear those, and although I respect the talent behind it, that shit's just too dark. Like, Shackleton - The Rope Tightens (Badawi Remix) is one of the darkest things I've ever heard, but that second track just went beyond that. Maybe its just cos its 3am and I'm tired as fuck, but still... damn. And the subgenre is 'Depressive/Suicidal Black Metal'. Trying a bit to hard there maybe?

there's great minimal, stripped down sounds, but there are also quality tearout tunes that kill the dance.

i'm surprised there hasn't been more mention of kromestar.

What about Distance?

I like that Distance song and I checked out a few songs on that thread I personally like it a WHOLE lot better than Skrillex and Bassnectar. Thank you for shedding some light on the genre I had no idea about any of it honestly.

However, one of the gods of true dubstep, called Distance, comes from a metal background, so you may well like it. He says he likes dubstep because it has the dark, almost scary feel of metal.

I love metal but I prefer deep/dark dubstep Two completely different sides to my music taste. I don't think there are many people who only listen to either aggressive music or chilled/deep music.
