Example Album: The Empty Hollow Unfolds
Location: Sweden
Years Active: 1991
Style: Dark ambient, soundscapes, scrap metal and industrial noises
Started in 1991 by Peter Andersson, raison d'être is a dark ambient project from Sweden. I'm personally still getting into this artist and their beautiful discography, but here The Empty Hollow Unfolds is the best of his work that I've listened to. Released on the famous record label Cold Meat Industry, The Empty Hollow Unfolds is considered one of the best, if not the pinnacle of dark ambient music, especially from this label.
This record is huge, melancholic, deeply reverberating, as clanking industrial noises echo in what sounds like a massive, empty, lonely chamber. The dominant themes seem to be existentialism, loneliness, deep sadness, and the music captures this atmosphere perfectly, aided by impeccable production. If you're looking for dark ambient with scrap metal and industrial noises, this album has it from start to finish.
