Here's a new one for you.  Hold the Throne by Echo Tail.  It's been growing on me a lot over the last few weeks.  It's instrumental.

If you're not familiar with them, I'd recommend Katatonia. Particularly their latest album "Dethroned and Uncrowned", which is a stripped back to bones re-working of their previous studio album "Dead End Kings". Both are superb and fascinating to see how different those songs are with the heaviness stripped away from them.

Airbag is a disgusting PF ripoff.

Can't wait.

Once I hear them I may weigh in with more but Ghosts from Freq Drift is indeed a good recommendation. Haven't picked up the new FD yet.
Also quite a recent fan of Anathema. Recommend Falling Deeper which is a reworking of some of their older "doom-Metal" stuff , but done in a more softer, ambient way ( similar to a lot of their recent stuff )

I agree. Both come from same stable as Porcupine Tree ( Kscope label) Listening to Night as I type this Smile

Votum's album Metafiction has very similiar tracks to Anathema.  I just got it today, and it sounds great!  They had a sticker on the shrink wrap that said Fans of Anathema, Opeth, and Porcupine Tree will enjoy this.

March of Ghosts - go!

Raised by Swans also might work?
