If one Anathema album, then it's either Alternative 4 or Serenades, AFDTE ain't fuckin' depressive, get outta here!!

And if one Katatonia album, it's one of the first 3, Discouraged Ones is deninitely a lot colder than LFDGD. Anyway, my list would be something like:

- ANATHEMA - Alternative 4 (perhaps also Serenades, esp. They Die)
- KATATONIA - Discouraged Ones, Brave Muder Day
- MY DYING BRIDE - The Cry Of Mankind (song), Light At The End...
- SHAPE OF DESPAIR - Angels Of Distress

Little chance of surviving a weekend with those I guess... Especially taking in consideration that I live in a flat on the 15th floor with the edge of the balcony just 2 meters to my right from this position...

Nick Drake- Fruit Tree Box Set

 

[yourdeadgroom]

Mayhem- DMDS
Ulver- Kveldsanger
Lacuna Coil- In a reverie (sp?)
Also possibly
Dimmu Borgir- Spiritual Black Dimensions
Death- Symbolic (depressing on so many levels, you know the main one )

OK, now why is there no doom (well, there's Lacuna, who are sort of) in there? I don't really find doom to be depressing. Infact, it lifts me up, I end up feeling in a serene mood with good doom. If I'm wound up and I need to relax, Black metal with lots of blast beats does it for me (which is why Mayhem are on the list).

What can I say, I'm odd (but you all knew that already )

Oh, you've got to be kidding me. Not depressive!?! It's so emotionally crushing in many different ways and depression is a big part of it. Check out the tracks 'Pressure', 'Leave No Trace', 'Barriers' etc.
The whole album's based on suicide (whether literal or metaphorical) for gods sake.. a fine day to exit? car at the beach with clothes strewn towards the water? one missed call on the phone?

I know! I was just teasing you about using a 'Y' instead of an 'I' in your post.

So I said, "Y would". Get it?

 

[Aglarion]

Unholy - Gracefallen
Katatonia - Discouraged Ones
Carpathian Full Moon - Serenades In Blood Minor
Ancient Wisdom - The Calling

 

[LoboUivante]

Nick Cave's The Kindness Of Strangers and Henry Lee is pretty good also.

Someone is still listening Unholy..?! Heard the album 'From the Shadows'?
And Pasi is a very comfortable guy (from Imatra, Finland)!

ahem...

Vinnie: "[...] ANATHEMA says with this album that it is a fine day to exit and try to just leave all that behind and start again, it's quite fresh. People talk about it and look at the cover and see the title, A Fine Day To Exit, and ask " Is it a suicide ? ". No, it's not a suicide, it's a faking suicide. It's about a new birth, starting again, start a whole new life." [/QUOTE]
