J. H. K. IV - I Am Forgotten/I Am Forgiven

I discovered this cryptic Pittsburgh musician the other day thanks to Bandcamp's death industrial tag search. Known only by his initials J. H. K. IV, his music reminds me a bit of Burial Hex, especially on the amazing 18-minute dark ambient/noise jam "I Am Forgotten/I Am Forgiven". Despite the harshness lurking behind the main composition, J.H.K.IV managed to skillfully embed a note of meditative calm into it. Really good stuff. Make sure to support him here.
