After some reccomendations

Hey all I used to be a pretty big black metal fan, I guess I still am. My tastes have always been away from the more raw side of black metal towards the more atmospheric side my Favorite albums are stuff like Ulver's Bergtatt, Limbonic Art's In Abhorence Dimensia, Burzum's Filosofem and Nargaroth's Herbstelyd and Geliebte Des Regens. More recently I've been drawn to the sound of the more avante garrde /ambient / darkwave sort of bands.

I really love bands like Summoning (I think Oath Bound is the album of 2006 so far).  The later Ulver stuff is really great (bascially all their material is excellent though). I also especially like the newer stuff Samael have put out from Passage onwards but especially Eternal and Reign of Light.

So basically I'm after suggestions as to other similar stuff I'd like.

Also I'm after any sort of instrumental bands, they don't need to be heavy but a decent atmosphere/mood to it would be nice.

KharBevNor:
Hmn.

I'm having a little trouble pinning down the sound your after (different things in different parts of your post) but try Agalloch, Sigh, ...And Oceans, Dark Fortress, Wyrd, Blut Aus Nord, Lumsk and Woods of Ypres. They're all pretty different bands but I think they should be in the general area of your tastes

As for instrumental stuff, Bohren & Der Club of Gore, Kayo Dot, Liquid Tension Experiment, Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Again, all different, all perhaps in the right area.

Scytale:
I'm all ready familiar with Agalloch, Sigh and Blut Aus Nord (Work Which Transforms God is amazing). What I've heard of Dark Fortress didn't really impress me that much but it was a few years ago so maybe I should try them again.

 I'll have to check out some of those other bands though, thanks a lot.

I realise my tastes are pretty varied, if it helps on the non metal side of music I like bands like Pink Floyd, Uriah Heep newer Anathema, Mars Volta.

I also play keyboard, so I'm pretty intrigued with bands that do inventive stuff with synthersizers and the like.

KharBevNor:
Maybe Dark Fortress is a wrong choice thinking about it, but that doesn't stop Stab Wounds being a fucking amazing album.

If you like Pink Floyd, strange metal and synthesiser work, you should definitely check out Ewigkeit, especially the album 'Radio Ixtlan'.  'Land of Fog' is pretty damn good as well, and I've warmed considerably towards 'Conspiritus'. You could describe Ewigkeit's latter efforts quite reasonably as what Pink Floyd might sound like, if they were a modern metal band. A bit similiar to new Samael now I think about it. One of my favourite bands/projects. You might also try the Meads of Asphodel, and on a cheesy outside chance, Bal-Sagoth, who are pretty much musical pulp fantasy, lots of over-dramatic vocals and keyboard pomp, but rooted in black metal rather than power metal, especially on their first album (A Black Moon Broods Over Lemuria).

Also, speaking of black metal and synths, you in to any industrial/cyber black metal? Aborym, Red Harvest, The Count Nosferatu Kommando and Trollheims Grott are all pretty sweet.

Scytale:
Yeah I have a couple of Bal Sagoth albums round here somewhere. I used to really love 'Battle Magic' when it first came out.

Aborym are ok,  "Fire Walk With Us" is all I've heard though. Thorns is probably the best industrial BM band I've heard, I dunno if they'll ever release anything else though. I'm not huge on the industrial BM sound though.

I'm intrigued by Ewigkeit though from you're description sounds like it could be just what I'm after.

I've also been getting into the pagan/folk BM stuff a bit, members politics aside bands like Drudkh and Nokturnal Mortem have really good music.
