Looking for...

Some music.

I've been itching for more songs with a certain... Not sure how to describe. A certain dark, driving percussion sound to them. The drums.

like this, this, or this. (note that this last one is 15 minutes long. You get a good enough example with the first two, but still.)

Find me some good songs, please?

There might be something nice if you do.

I'll be tracking this until I listen through these. I don't think I know similar stuff but maybe I'll find something.

[e]: Oh damn, the second song "We Want War" was just what I wanted to suggest. Sticking out tongue

Probably not your taste but

Probably not your taste but here's a few I know of. They're not instrumental, though, more Scandinavian folk metal...

Finntroll - Vinfard & Manniskopesten
Sonata Arctica - Blank File

...Actually, after re-listening to the examples you suggested, these aren't what you're looking for. Sorry XD

The whole OST from this grouping should be on youtube. Can probably find more via related videos. This whole series had a very dark/foreboding instrumental theme.

It's from Donnie Darko. The track is called "Manipulated Living". Enjoy. Smiling


There's also a weird techno remix of this that is pretty interesting, though it's a bit too upbeat to be considered ambience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG-n7gU5C10

I can't listen to your examples right now but as a shot in the dark, here are some good Tom Waits songs that have a dark drum beat to them;

'Underground'
'What keeps Mankind Alive'
'God's Away on Business'
'Down Down Down'

I'm pretty sure all of those are on youtube somewhere, have a listen.

edit: If you're looking for instrumental stuff only, you might want to try the instrumental versions of 'Raindogs' and 'Rainbirds'.
