Looking for Depressive music

Add your vote or buy refferals, or just sign for hopes our baleful souls.

P.S: Getting apriori with Richard Buckner, Mark Hollis, Akira Yamaoka and David Sylvian.

 

[Grumble Grumble]

totally forgot about ulver(ive been into them for a few months now)

and yes akira yamaoka, forgot to mention him as well to hell with me!

yea i actually own all the physical CD versions of the silent hill soundtracks so heh yea he is good.

"For Your Demons" with Saturnus might the sadest song i have heard ever.
Would also recommend "Thou Art Free".
Like some have said, Saturnus is very very sad overall, but nothing really beats Anathema in that department imo.

 

[necro_jesus]

Lifeless Sorrow is pretty depressing stuff too.
They only have one album so far...
They come from Africa too

 

[BlueSky]

There are a ton of great american bands.

 

[Vincent J.]

Godspeed You Black Emperor, A Silver Mt. Zion.
Not that depressive... more music for dissapointment of the world
Montgolfier Brothers; Depressive with as main theme broken relationships

 

[devinity]

i add Mab, the album: Decay, they're italian but they live in london, they opened concert for him, and they're all girls and good looking. i saw their concert and they're impressive

 

[MadTinus]

Godspeed you black emperor(some of this shit is too depressing in a good way)

I must second this recommendation, very mood-influencing stuff, indeed in a good way.

You can always count with either ShamRain or Entwine when it comes to melow/depressive stuff

 

[CF87]

Evoken 'embrace the emptiness'.

 

[Divatkreació]

Some of Radiohead's songs like Pyramid song, Sail to the moon and How to disappear completely are super-depressing.

No one has mentioned Jesu yet! That's a must. Especially Silver -ep and the selftitled album.
Mogwai's Happy songs for happy people album is a sad instrumental album.
Sigur Ros's () has some depressing feeling in it too.
And then there is this crushingly sad band called Elend who play this dark ambient neo-classical stuff. They are one of the heaviest bands out there and they aren't even metal

 

[devinity]

i add DRACONIAN and a very good one, OCTAVIA SPERATI a norvagian group of ladies.

 

[Dark Coldness]

Evoken 'embrace the emptiness'.

Nice one, just bought it a while ago...

 

[necro_jesus]

Check the band (of Unicorn) Hel their gem called "Tristheim".
Pretty depressive music, but to me it's not depressing. Just soothing and relaxing =)

ARKHON INFAUSTUS...SHINING...I think this kind of music kills your spirit much more

 

[Belligerent]

Green Carnation has some nice sad stuff.

Daylight Dies, October Tide, Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Shape Of Despair, Rapture...

I'm sure you already some of these.

Good recs here.
I'll add Officium Triste, Shamrain, Type O Negative (october rust ALWAYS does the trick 4 me),
Anathema's Alternative 4 ...

 

[affinityband]

Bohren & Der Club of Gore, John Martyn, Tracy Chapman, Paatos, Ash ra Tempel, Tangerine Dream, Elbow, Interpol, The Gault, Shora, Some Honeychurch songs.. even though im not a fan,something like Dargaad aswell. Oh and that Sunno))) & Boris Collaoration is stunning, get that.

 

[ShadowCreator]

There are a ton of great american bands.

Really???

News to me, I can only think of...hmmm..... 4 American bands worth listening to.
Daylight Dies and Agalloch are our greatest.

 

[LifeDepraved]

Agalloch are an American band trying so desperately to sound like something from Norway.
