Adramalech (Georgia)

I'll be the first to admit that I know next to nothing about the small country of Georgia in the Caucasus region of Eurasia. Apart from knowing the capital of Tbilisi and historic conflict my knowledge ends. What I do do is the man behind the project sure captures the essence of the cold wintery landscape that Georgia would experience. The distorted guitars and synthesizer evoke a wonderful sorrowful emotions perfect for a wintery soundtrack. It's not groundbreaking by any means but, is a good addition to your soundtrack for the dark and long winters.

Bonjour Tristesse

  

Despite the utterly cliche name, which loosely translates to "Hello Sadness" Bonjour Tristesse play some sorrowful, melancholic Depressive Black Metal. The man known better know as Nathanael has showcased a sombre side of his, much different of that from his contributions to Agrypnie, Thränenkind and Heirtoir. Like in typical fashion of Depressive Black Metal, wailing shrieks of agony are accompanied by warm guitar tones to possibly indicate that there's still hope in such a dark place. Even with feelings of emptiness and fear, strength and hope loom in the background... waiting

Apatharia 

 

Apatharia are an Ambient/Depressive Black metal band hailing from the desolate landscapes of grim Alberta. Like many of their predecessors, Apatharia's riffs are cold and raw and the vocals convey feelings of hopelessness and agony. The low-fi quality and melancholic ambiance helps enhance these sensation of despair even more which is the likely goal of any good band trying to stir up the same emotions. If you ask me, this is the perfect soundtrack for a grim winter.
