dark emo. music wanted

[Timmy]

Lacuna coil... can't believe no-ones mentioned them yet

The halflife EP is great.. especially the title track

and To Live is to Hide, off Unleashed Memories, just so depressing
its great

 

[diospada]

i guess lacuna coil is semi dark emo music...

 

[chaveta]

a MUST download is Amon Amarth's "without fear"

that song is so fucking powerful...

I see
Without fear my destiny
As the raging skies begins to fade
Pouring rain
Licks my wounds as my blood flows
From my torn flesh!

As I die
I hold my sword
My only friend
And pray that Oden
Will take me home

The battle rages
But I hear only raindrops falling
Like in slow motion to the ground

Death release me
Free me from my earthly pain
Oden I ask thee please
Take me home

As I look
To the sky the heaven is lit
And Valkyries in shining armour
Descend

I rest my head
On the ground
And close my eyes
And I know that Oden's sent for me
As I die

WITHOUT FEAR I DIE
I HOLD MY SWORD
AND DIE
WITHOUT FEAR!!!

*headbangs into eternity*

Exactly. I absolubtely love this particular song. So depressing, dark and mellodic...beautiful.

More suggestions....ummm.....practically all my reccomendations have been posted earlier...umm, but yeah *some* tracks by Tortoise are quite emo (or whatever)...but I think that's just me.

Especially 'Equator' and 'Everglade' off Tortoise's TNT album.

 

[Nugent Goes AOL]

I'm shocked no one has said "October Rust" by Type O Negative. The album is beautiful, dark, depressing, and awesome!

 

[buypipersdreamhome4real]

Hybris by Anglagard can be got fairly cheap on ebay, but I got epilog for 45$ US so if your willing to pay. The rumour is they will both be re-released through Exergy records this year ahead of their nearfest show and comeback album.

i need more!!!! anekdoten is unbelievable

 

[ucsbdude]

dark rock/metal is what I love .....then cry listening to it

Here's my recommendations:

Sunny Day Real Estate

Get the album How It Feels to Be Something On, it's fairly dark and it's very emotional. Their first album, Diary, is the most emotional... but the singer's voice wasn't fully trained yet.

My Bloody Valentine

A jarring transition between dreamy sounding pop and loud repetitive guitars and a lot of guitar experimentation.

Agalloch

Folky doomish black metal similar to a mixture between Ulver and Brave Murder Day era Katatonia, especially on their debut, Pale Folklore. Their next album had more influences including Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Sol Invictus.

Aereogramme

This band's music ranges from orchestral sounding slow rock songs with electronic percussion to a very heavy slowed down Hardcore sound with screams and guitar solos. Kind of like Mogwai on steroids with a vocalist.

 

[umdebaba]

novembers doom
katatonia
agalloch
anathema

these have probably all been suggested but im too lazy to dig back in the thread

 

[LuminousAether]

Also, in a similar vein to Anathema, Thine are a very good band on the same label, Peaceville. In Therapy was one of the more underrated albums so far this decade. Just like Beyond Dawn, another very awesome band that is very underrated. Check out Pity Love, it's one of the darkest and most depressing albums ever. In short, it's one of the best doom albums around.

Thanx Lumi, I have found Thine-In Therapy at The End and am ordering it on your recomendation, as well as the reviews I have read!!!

This is an uber-old thread, but check out some particularly emotional Camel songs, don't know if they are 'dark' per say, but definately moving.

Camel - Supertwister
Camel - Nimrodel/The Procession/The White Rider
Camel - Song Within A Song
Camel - Spirit Of The Water
Camel - Air Born (this in particular, damn beautiful)

Be prepared for alot of flute...
