Forgotten Woods-As the Wolves Gather (1994)

A very unique band in the Norwegian black metal scene, Forgotten Woods has always had a very interesting and different approach than their fellow countrymen, preferring slower tempos, post-punk-influenced melodies, audible bass, and a generally more depressive atmosphere. Overall, I think Forgotten Woods is one of the most criminally underrated bands of the entire scene. For fans of bands such as Joyless (which is a side project of this band), Lifelover, and even Amesoeurs, and anyone wanting some unique, depressive, moody black metal. No Colours Records.

They are more depressing music but I appropriate this type of music more because it's more real.
