Hey guys, I'm looking for some music to use as background music for an animation I'm working on for university, based on Cormac McCarthy's 'The Road'. Although I can find stuff that's close, I can't quite find exactly what I'm looking for. This is the best example I can give:

Does anyone have any suggestions?

EDIT: More near misses
Mogwai
Mono
Explosions in the Sky
Tarentel
Red Sparowes
Do Make Say Think
i'd take a look at some of tool's and nine inch nails' deeper tracks
tool, disposition:
nine inch nails, lights in the sky:
or taking a slightly different tack, some of the darker/more ambient square rpg tracks
ff6, world of ruin:
chrono cross, dead sea:
ff7, the great northern cave:
Path of Exile: snowcrash7
MTG Arena: Snow_Crash#34179
Battle.net: Snowcrash#1873
Murder by Death has one that may work

Oh, check out some of the early Silver Mt. Zion records. They're a side project of Godspeed.
pelican
red sparows
Isis (has vocals but they have very extended sections with no vocals)
Jesu (vocals but tracks without, and very long instrumental sections)
Final
Explosions in the sky (though if you listen to godspeed I am sure you are familier with these folks)
something that I always recommend when people ask about dark feeling stuff is Samuel's Era 1 and Magic, a 2cd album that is vastly different from their normal stuff:
OR something very different look for Dark Tranquility album closers, recently they have been doing amazing outros like the following (even if this is not at all what you are looking for, this is an amazing song)
GIS is evil
Griswold: I don't know why I didn't think of Nine Inch Nails earlier, thanks for reminding me!
Napp: Grails is also very, very close, a few songs of theirs are in the running for the winner. Also holy shit Murder By Death are in Australia.
schuss: That song not so much, but some of their other stuff might fit.
DisruptedCapitalist: The tone is right, but the synths don't fit the feel that I'm going for.
Natas: Really good Suggestions! Again I've been browsing through a couple of these but there are several there I haven't heard at all.
I'll give all of these a good listen, cheers everyone! Don't let me stop you if you have more suggestions, though.
Also, I hate to break it to you, but MBD had to cancel their Australia tour... I'll send you a PM with the details since it isn't exactly on topic.
Eupfhoria: Yes! Lots of good stuff, thanks.
Like... damn near everything he does.
NB: Has chorus/choir but subtle not profound and overrunning the instruments
EDIT: Also, as this is a vidya games forum:
Have you thought about how something like this might contrast with your animation?
I only throw this out since you already have a million great suggestions that would be my answer. Mogwai and Godspeed have to have something you're looking for. Or the Ghosts album, for sure.

And then everything else off of Ambient 4!
