Weird band named The NO that plays metal-concerned dark ambient with lots of shifts and changes within each one of their songs. The quintessence of versatility, indeed. They even made (an unintentional?) sort of parody on Stalaggh - just listen to the track "Don't Miss The Au...".
Their style is rather black ambient, horror music pretending to incorporate occult, ritual themes. However, it is rather unblack - not in terms of using Christian themes in the songs (they don't touch religiousity in their art, at all), but because they are not satanist or occult in any possible meaning of the word.
It is simply the band that pretends to play frightening, horror, "grand terror" music, and they do it with tremendous talent and taste. Raw-recorded (thus, being "true metal") neurotic sample-based (un)black horror ambient with an obvious feel of metal music in it. Metal-related horror ambient. A strange sort of funeral, depressive metal, if you like.
Here is their darkest thing, as of now, below:

Here is the simplest funeral instrumental ever - but what a trimphant unwaisty waste of time is it!

The contender for the shortest composition ever:

The rawest thing on album. Pure sounds of hell with melody jumping out of the audible range, intentionally made in mono:

The 20+ minutes epic, overfulfilled with unexpectedness, real doom metal meets tricky synths meets strange voices:
