I'm not sure if this band really qualifies as "ambient" black metal as opposed to black metal. When I think of the ambient style I think very poorly produced, the vocals very low in the mix, the music riff-oriented and not especially melodic, and the album as a whole designed to be intentionally monotonous and droning so as to be darkly atmospheric. Altar of Plagues, on the other hand, from Sol onwards have been quite well-produced, the vocals are quite high in the mix (and include lots of hardcore-style shouting), the guitars generally play melodies rather than concrete riffs and the songs contain lots of stylistically disparate sections so as to avoid, rather than create, monotonous atmosphere. I think it'd make more sense to classify them as a black metal/post-metal band. Anyone else have any opinions on this? If not, I'll change it myself. 86.43.175.25 (talk) 20:17, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
