Check out the Mexican group Arteria, they have a heavy UZ influence.



I'd also recommend Archaia, very dark & moody.


 
That is good stuff, especially the Arteria.  Thank you!

Try Shub-Niggurath, you won't be disappointed.



Yeah, it doesn't really get darker than Shub-Niggurath.
 
I ordered the first two S-N albums and have also downloaded the third, Testament.  I like it quite a bit, though to my ears they were no longer any type of rock band by this stage - this is a lot closer to the free jazz / improv part of my collection...

Yes I do...I'm the bloke. Nice to meet you! Have you checked the links on my youtube channel ?

In the mid-nineties I'd bought  sound module Roland JV 1080, and spent quite much time exploring it (notably interested in LFO, flanged echos used as notes, pitch-bend soloing / tonefitting, alternative tuning).
Lately tracks like Scansion were remixed with drum + bass sampled sounds.

Pleased to meet you also!  I have checked out your channel.  I like what you did on these tracks, very interesting use of the Roland, are you still experimenting?

Try Shub-Niggurath, you won't be disappointed.

 
 
Really liking the doom-laden bass grumbling of Shub-Niggurath with operatic warbles juxtaposed...

It was wonderful, but to me not dark, in fact I found it rather uplifting!

Oh man.... that piece Alice floors me.  Nice call.  I think Sunn 0))) really broke some new ground on that last album.  It's a shame they've taken so long to record a follow up.  It's been three years now, hasn't it?

Oh - the guy from Kayo Dot, right? I am fond of their first two albums but haven't been in touch with the more recent stuff. I didn't know he had a solo record out, so thank you, will investigate.

Interesting band - I've just been to their web site.  Compared to UZ the music is amost...jaunty.  But I like it!

[QUOTE=Aussie-Byrd-Brother] Oooh, very interesting call with Klaus Schulze's `Vie Electronique - vol 1', Progbethyname! I was just listening to that last night at work (NOT a popular choice for others in my office! ). It's a very hypnotic and eerie, highly repetitive and chilly electronic album. Lots of long, drifting near-gothic isolating soundscapes composed on heavily treated organ. Very otherwordly music!

Mascodagama - Speaking of Schulze, I would highly recommend you try the following album if you want something dark and quite unnerving:

Klaus Schulze - Blackdance


It's a VERY unpleasant but highly fascinating and draining musical experience. It's one of my favourite albums, I also wrote a fairly pretentious review of it here too!

... but in terms of instrumentation they are not even close to Anglagård (that I know of) and KC.
