Planet Caravan, never thought Black Sabbath could do a track like this

I don't listen much to metal, would appreciate suggestions for other chilled out metal tracks (please no soppy tracks like Wherever I Roam

)

Fear Factory - A Therapy for the Pain (Demanufacture)

Nine Inch Nails - The Great Below (The Fragile)

Paradise Lost - Take Me Down (One Second)

Stabbing Westward - Red on White (Ungod)

Thanks for the suggestions, Paradise Lost I have listened quite a lot to.

That Stabbing Westward track is new to me though, Industrial ambient, I like.

That Fear Factory album I actually bought at a flea market recently, haven't got round to listen to it yet, but that track you mention sure is different, like Ulrich Schnauss doing epic metal

Solitude is like Planet Caravan part 2. I guess I have been preconceived, seeing that Black Sabbath is being credited as the first heavy metal band. But listening to their early 70's stuff what I find is funky hard rock, space rock and pscyhedelia

Maybe not the blackest of metal but this was the first thing that came to mind.

Ambient metal? I don't get it. They're pretty opposite, aren't they?

Also, I disagree about NIN "the great below". It's neither ambient or metal. NIN was never industrial or metal, though "broken" came close to metal (if not for being quite computer-heavy production (including the signature metal guitar sound). I sometimes think of NIN as "synth metal" or "synth rock", but I don't think it's consistent. It changes so much throughout an album, and even more across the years.

Maybe I just don't know what metal is??

Maybe so, but that doesn't mean they can't be fused together.

Wait, how about Godflesh's "Flowers" single? It's the only Godflesh CD i own, it's rather ... ambient... ish... and it is definitely metal.

I wouldn't describe Black Sabbath as metal ... but if you like Planet Caravan you may enjoy FX from Volume 4.

Yeah.. don't consider Black Sabbath to be metal either, but I'm sure that was some scary sh** back in the day

I get what you mean about NIN, I consider them/him more as electronic but a lot of the songs are distinctly rock/metal in structure, even if not in sound. I could have picked a number of other tracks really (most of Ghosts) but The Fragile has such a wide range of sounds, i figured The Great Below should be the one to suggest.

On a completely different vibe, a find a lot of Deftones stuff to have a very laidback, spacey vibe that, while sounding nothing like ambient, kinda reminds me of it. But I doubt anyone will agree with me on that.

It was called heavy rock back in the day. There was a lot of it about at the time ... Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Budgie, etc... not scary at all.

To tame a land by Iron Maiden has a nice chilled out intro

And the intro to Dio's all the fools sailed away is like one of those intro tracks that Black Sabbath would put as a short track in its own

Exactly

And opposites attract me

Suggest tracks for an Ambient Metal compilation
