Austrian darkwave/neoclassical. Dramatic, fantastical classical pieces -- in the way that black metal intro tracks might be considered "classical pieces" -- performed on cheap-sounding keyboards whose cheesiness is counteracted by haunting, ethereal male-and-female vocals that hang like sorrowful spectres overhead.

Quite a few great bands coming from Iceland. Forgardur Helvitis are still my favorite Icelanders although they haven't released anything or played live for ages. I quite liked Svartidaudi's "Flesh Cathedral" too.
