For the record, I am the creator of AnneXadote. I had started producing AnneXadotes sound around the age of 17. I was surprised to find that someone had related my music to Akira. I also am great friends with the creator/producer of The Walter Sullivan Case and actually worked on one song with the artist in one of my older houses. I am honored to have been mentioned in the presence of the great Akira. Thank you guys for the honorable mentions.

i believe.... they are normally labeled as:

Ambiance , new age

or something...

Well, you could always take a look at Akira Yamaoka. He wrote the soundtrack for the entire Silent Hill series, and has some solo stuff as well.

The genre is known as "Horror Ambient", though I hate that classification, considering that's exactly the kind of music I create.

Try Murder of Angels, The Walter Sullivan Project (Obvious homage to the Silent Hill series), or AnneXadote. The genre is, in all honesty, pretty rare. But Murder of Angels is one of my favorites. If you want to check out some of my personal stuff, send me a PM.

If you're looking for Yamaoka's "Coffee House Grunge" style, it's pretty much non-existant, outside of his own compositions.

Anyway, Necrophagist is my favorite band, and they're from Germany. Akira Yamaoka is (obviously) a favorite of mine, and he's from Japan. Speaking of Japan, one of my favorite composers is Hitoshi Sakimoto, and he's also a Japanese native. Opeth is great, and they hail from Sweden.

Not too into the whole Black Metal scene, or I would have a lot more to list.

EDIT: And I just had to say it...Amon Amarth are one of the LEAST heavy metal bands I've ever heard. Not that they aren't decent, but....I just don't know where this came from.
