Oh this sounds very right. Tyler Phan just commented on my post on Buddhism on this genre, hitherto unknown by me. Though I had always thought that Wolves in the Throne Room had a certain majestic sparkle...anyone got any suggestions?
I just discovered this: "IoNiZeR - New Global Disorder LP" Sounds like dark Buddhism running around in dying recording software. Beats and drones that do not sooth, yet point to .....
not shoegaze, not sparkle, but ultra Lovecraftian "avant-garde" BM: Portal from Australia. the singer wears a giant grandfather clock on his head. check their side project Impetuous Ritual also. the opening track is a vast, dark, brooding monstrosity.
Dark side of of ecological black metal from Ukraine. All members of the band have grown on the lands that symbolically reflect the reality of our days - ancient forests, swamps and rivers are surrounded by three nuclear power plants, one of which exploded in 1986, leaving a rotting scar on the face of all planet. Devastated villages, chased animals, mutilated temple of nature, which dozed peacefully for thousands of years, wandering shadows against the starry sky — there is no place to escape from this, except inside. Nature is inside us, we are inside of the nature. The debut album Morok is a scream — as an evidence of frustration, as a result of this hopeless escape.
The Nameless Wretch. they are not so much Buddhist influenced as much as they are vedic, but still... spiritual. http://rustyhack-sawrecords.bandcamp.com/album/what-worth-is-a-man-if-he-cant-be-haunted
