Ambient black metal is a subgenre that merges the raw, aggressive textures and dark atmospheres of traditional black metal with the ethereal, atmospheric layers typical of ambient music. The result is a soundscape that evokes cosmic vastness or bleak, natural landscapes, often characterized by droning guitar work, hauntingly slow to mid-paced tempos, and raspy, shrieking vocals that seem to echo from afar. Synthesizers and programmed elements often play a significant role, creating a backdrop of interstellar or otherworldly ambience. Bands within the genre, such as Darkspace and Wolves In The Throne Room, capture this fusion with sprawling compositions that are as likely to invoke contemplative stillness as they are to drive forth with the genre's intrinsic intensity and fury.
