Nefilim

Well, if you just want it to be dark and emotional I'd recommend Fields of the Nephilim. They're not metal though, more like gothic rock. But darker than hell.

Anathema should be your top priority if you want dark. emo depressive music...but there's so many others.
yea, i should've specify more, the emphasis is on depressive, kinda like katatonia, or something like that....

Best depressive emotional band ever is Godspeed You! Black Emperor. They aren't metal, but if you limit your tastes to one type of music, you don't deserve them 
Amon Amarth are pretty cool emotional music too, but they aren't depressive.

Well, the most depressive band I know is definetely My Dying Bride. Listen to the cd 'The Angel and the Dark River'.....wooooooooowww, it's amazing!
As mentioned previously by others, you would probably like My Dying Bride (Turn Loose The Swans, Like Gods of The Sun or The Light At The End Of The World). They're one of my favourite bands. As is Godspeed You Black Emperor!(all releases-especially Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven).
Check out Type O Negative (Bloody Kisses), Anathema (Pentecost III) and Dead Can Dance (Within the Realm of a Dying Sun - not metal, but still good).
If you can find it, The Blood Divine released an album called 'Awaken,' which is one of my favourites. The Blood Divine featured Darren White (singer from early Anathema) on vocals and only released two albums. Hard to categorise because the album is quite varied, but it's very doomy (is that a word?) and even progressive in places. I highly recommend this album to Opeth (or Katatonia) fans.

surprised no one mentioned The Sins Of Thy Beloved... awesome dark, haunting, melodic music!
and yeah i totally agree on Katatonia and Agalloch as well!
....Tea Party, hmm some of their older stuff yeah maybe. (or maybe i just got sick of hearing the same handful of songs being overplayed on the radio)
