Terms that are most frequently used to describe their sound include black metal, ambient and progressive or post metal. The bands untraditional aesthetic and approach to their music has led to Altar of Plagues appealing to a wide variety of listeners and this may be seen by the diverse range of acts Altar of Plagues have toured with, including Isis and Mayhem, as well as having appeared at festivals that focus on ‘extreme’ metal and festivals that encourage experimentation and diversity.

This black metal act is one of my favorites. Or my favorite. White tomb and Mammal are very experimental, they play a lot with black metal, ambient, drone and sludge. But their old black metal stuff is also worth listening.

One of the most original bands!!!

I'm really trying to enjoy them. I really do. But the songs are just a bit too long. So it appears that fragments of songs are good or sometimes even amazing, but when it comes to whole songs, they're mostly just... okay. Mostly.
