i am not too much into Black Metal because i mainly dont like the music and i cant stand the growls and "rough" vocals...but Summoning is the exception i almost love...but listen to them every day for one month is slightly becoming boring and i need something new already...so are there any bands playing the same way - especially i am looking for great instrumental melodies and choirs in refrains

there are no other black metal bands who play the same type of black metal like Summoning unfortunally
how ever Rivendell comes close.
you can also check out Pazuzu(aut) a project of an ex-member of Summoning. it is cool ambient.

Drudkh may be a bit different but they are so good I don't think you would notice.

Kinstrife & Blood from Australia is heavily influenced by Summoning, both musically and lyrically. You should give them a try. Elffor from Spain is another band that is quite similar to Summoning. Their music has much emphasis on keyboards and is very epic in its nature. They also seem to be very much inspired by fantasy.

Have You Try Mörk Gryning (their Latest Albums) i dont now if you like it but give it a try

try Elffor, Forest Silence and Marblebog, but as others said, nothing is similar to summoning,

Good album, shame they broke up.

Oh man, Tolkien metal. I'm a big fan of Summoning, and I second the Rivendell recommendation.

@ Damnated: I just picked up one of Marblebog's cd's. so far its pretty sick stuff.

I dont know why, but when I listen to the album ''Lugburz'', it reminds me the album Stormblast from Dimmu Borgir.

i dont enjoy this album much...so probably i wont enjoy Dimmu Borgir too...

Svarte this band is like summoning from what i heard and they inspire like tolkin

I'm surprised no-one here mentioned Caladan Brood!

Definitely the most similar band to Summoning I've heard is Caladan Brood (someone on the shoutbox mentioned it a few days ago):

Amazing song if you ask me. And you can easily hear the influence Summoning had on the music.

Hmmm the first part of the song is very summonish... the first seconds actually sound like something done by Summoning

Italian band L'Ordre Du Temple (only one album out) can also be reminiscent of Summoning....

Closest thing I've ever heard to Summoning are Burzum's dark ambient albums.

As the years passed i have also find Mirkwood and finnish Avathar, which pleases me quite a lot...so if anyone interested ...ty for all other suggestions as well

People have posted a lot of black metal bands...but if you want more of the synth side check out Lugburz and Uruk-Hai

Hellveto is a Polish one man band by LON. You can hear clear Summoning influences:

Agreed! I cannot say enough how good L'Ordre du Temple is. If Summoning ever played music about Templars, it would sound like L'Ordre du Temple.

Good suggestions, ty...i can second Uruk-Hai (austrian one man ambient band, not Varg's solo project), have a few albums

also i remembered Dead Crown...thats totally Summoning-like, at least the first half

I'll second the L'Ordre Du Temple recommendation, and the Caladan Brood one - both those bands are excellent, excellent shit.
