My favorite band is Alcest. It's a French shoegaze band with black metal influiences. It was founded and led by Neige in 2000 as a solo project but soon after, the band became a three-piece black metal outfit, consisting of Neige on vocals, acoustic guitar and drums, Argoth on bass. Their first album was "Souvenirs d'un autre monde" in 2007, which translates as "Memories from another world". Their music is pretty dark and atmospheric, it creates a dark ambiance.
