Creepy atmospheric music for gaming?

[Gothmog]

Does anyone here know of any good creepy/scary atmopsheric instrumental music that might be suitable for gaming? I'm open to about any suggestions, but am most interested in classical or instrumental music. I already have all of the Midnight Syndicate cds, and Glenn Danzig's Black Aria, but I was wondering what other people have found that is good. Thanks!

This is such a matter of personal taste--but I think that as far as creepy instrumental gaming music goes, Mogwai and Sigur Ros take the cake. Granted, Sigur Ros does have singing, albeit in a made up language called "Hopelandic"--don't ask--but I think both bands are great for background music.

I'm not quite sure they're creepy enough, though. They're more soft/loud stuff--Mogwai particularly. Sigur Ros is a bit more flighty. But I think Mogwai works especially well for battles.

Hmm. Check them out if you can, but they might not be your style, cos I'm strange.

Monte Cook has some good suggestions here:

Horror themed soundtracks are nearer the bottom.
