I'm not sure what the Silent Hill music is classified as (Ambient Rock, I guess?) But what are some bands with a similar sound?

Why does a Silent Hill have music?

Maybe try this project by Akira Yamaoka, the Silent Hill composer? The music is very SH like. The whole album is very weird. Some SH like vocal tracks, some industrial, some SH backdrops with spoken word.
I thought SH 3 OST had some of the best songs on there.
Also, it might be a stretch, but I’m thinking Soundgarden is the closest thing to music like this.
Industrial, trip hop, alt rock, grunge, noise rock...it crosses a lot of varied genres.
Portishead obviously had some influence.

Yamaoka incorporates lots of different genres in the SH soundtracks so you'd really have to categorize each track instead of the entire album
End of Small Sanctuary is my personal fave
Some tracks similar to the album off the top of my head:

For the same reason Eddie can sit around eating pizza at an abandoned bowling alley. How did he get a pizza delivered? Who knows. Maybe Pyramid Head runs a pizza shop when he isn't sexually assaulting legs and stalking pillow fight champions.
DJ Krush has some tracks that sound somewhat like Silent Hill soundtrack.
Also, here is a good collection of ambient from Silent Hill.

Never really played Silent Hill, but that song you posted sounds a bit like The Cure.
I would classify Doom 64's music as being this kind of music. Aubrey Hodges doesn't get nearly enough credit for creating such a dark, foreboding soundtrack. This track in particular is my favorite, if only because the distant sound of crying babies freaks me the fuck out when I'm playing the game late at night with the lights turned off.
This one is very similar.

Rotten rave tropes, Rain drenched and Drowning in the quagmire sound like something that could fit there.

Haven't yet played any of the Silent Hill games, but the band Loathe has cited Silent Hill 2's soundtrack as a major influence on them:
