Each of these CDs are released by Xasthur. This is some of the greatest style in this form of music.
This type of music is hard to listen to at first but has it's place in the musical output of humanity.
Each piece of music has a very lo-Fi quality which stems from 4 track home recording techniques. This may be some of the darker ambient out there. Not for everyone. 

If you were to look for the gateway Xasthur record it would be .......Telepathic with the Deceased released in 2004.

Dømkirke is a live album by Sunn O))), recorded at Bergen Cathedral in Bergen, Norway, during the Borealis festival. The album was pressed only on vinyl, never to be released on other formats, though it has now been made available for digital download direct from Southern Lord's webstore. It is a double album which features one track on each side of the records. The packaging for Dømkirke features artwork by the Norwegian visual artist Tania Stene.

This is a great live recording which gets much of it's sound from the building( church ) which it was recorded in. The vinyl is sometimes able to be purchased as well as a download from Southern Lord Records. This would be considered a milestone in the Dark Ambient field.

This record is pressed on clear blue wax and may be also pressed in other colors. A great record even though it's rare. 

Cassandra's Nightmare by Xenomorph is a scary piece of ambient, highly recommended for anyone into dark psytrance.

   Black One By Sunn O)))

Released six years ago this is still the mutha to demo your new sub!

Black One is the sixth album by Sunn O))). It is a combination of both experimental and traditional Sunn O))), utilizing many guest musicians, including black metal musicians Malefic and Wrest from Xasthur and Leviathan, respectively. The band supposedly also went so far as to lock the claustrophobic Malefic in a casket to record the vocals on "Báthory Erzsébet".

2,000 copies included bonus disc titled Solstitium Fulminate, containing a mix of live performances recorded at Roskilde in 2005, and the immediately preceding European tour.

Nice looking covers, post a link to recommended song? Preferrably something deep and spatial =)

It sort of depends wether you like their drone side more or the less experimental songs. All are really deep though.

^ Ha, both albums I never heard^

Do these bands usually come with vocals or purely instrumental? Regardless, IFL.

Some bands have vocals some not.
