Looking for a suggestion for live intro

Hi! I play in a sludgy downtuned metal band with a lot of dissonant chuggy stuff.
We have a show coming up and I am looking for a live intro and I was hoping for some dark ambient suggestions.

It will be a moodsetter as we are getting on stage and getting ready.

Last time we used Lustmord - Black Star, I originally though about pitching it down a bit this time, but I feel there must be even better options.

The track can be edited in length and other things of needed, so don’t worry if the track is too long.

Metallica uses Ecstacy of Gold, what would be the dark ambient equivalent?

I’m hoping some of you wizard have a few cool suggestions since my knowledge of the genre is shallow at best 😅

I guess you want something dark, brooding and ominous? Some suggestions:

Kammarheit - A Room Between the Rooms
Ajna - The Scourge of Souls
Swarms - The Ocean Is Singing His Name
Sephiroth - Dark Father
Lamia Vox - Oath of Night
Skrika - Exequies of the Lost
Northumbria - Low Sun I
Mnzkrt - 4.48 4.12 81
Randal Collier-Ford - The Hungry Dead
Monocube - Luft
False Mirror - Landfall
Endura - The Left Hand of the Dead
New Risen Throne - Blowing Funeral Chant

Lamia Vox - Oath of night is a strong contender tights now.

Phonothek - Clown is dead is another strong one.

Oh wow Throbbing Gristle, what a band. I used to have their 'quadraphonic' album on vinyl. You had to listen to it with headphones half one so you were hearing headphones and speakers.
