Looking for Depressive music

[Grumble Grumble]

so i wake up with a terrible head cold today, feeling like complete shit, and i listen to Stalaggh. Now i got a bigger headache and im blahher, that "music" was crap. i mean no offense to you for posting it, i did say i wanted depressive music and i thank you for posting what you felt to be depressive. but now im just irritated. lol

 

[i aint play this]

Stalaggh more like SHITALAGGH. It seems people are doing anything for shock value and publicity these says.

A certain band is trying so desperately to compensate for obvious lack of talent and substance. So what they do? they invite tr00 psychotic dipshits to howl over some absurd noises and call it ''nihilistiK terr00r'', in order to attract easily-impressed losers worldwide. Pure genius.

 

[Belligerent]

^ Agreed.

 

[LifeDepraved]

Don't listen to Martial Industrial anytime soon then.

 

[Gilraen_Anarion]

Empyrium. You can't get more beautiful and depressing than that.

That's insane what you're saying man...
The fact that this music is not in your taste doesn't mean it does not take talent to think of it and record it.
Talent is a whole other story. This band isn't about musicianship obviously, so don't expect that. All they want to do, I think, is searching for and crossing borders of how far one can go with extreme music.
Judging from your reaction they succeeded at least a little bit.

I do not like their "music" myself at all, but I guess they didn't intent to get people to like it, they probably just want you to experience such insane music.
I think they did a good job on that

Amen.

Out of my way you wretched human!!

Some people are afraid to get something they won't truly get. Some people just truly hate it. Some people are afraid to like it for fear of others knowing they like it.

Or yes it is just complete shit.

According to an interview: ``After we have created Projekt Misanthropia we will cease to exist as :STALAGGH:, but we will start a new projekt called :GULAGGH: (a Stalag was a Nazi concentration camp, a Gulag was a Soviet concentration camp, the extra G and H stand for Global Holocaust). With :GULAGGH: we will also create a trilogy. But this time it will be the perversion and inversion of Classical music combined with the vocals of the mentally insane.``

...

 

[Belligerent]

Amen.

What album should I start out with? I've heard so much about them but never gave them a chance.

Alice In Chains used to drag me down in a good way. If you're in a receptive mood for this music then it's like heroin, it hurts you but you can't get your fingers off of it.

Then Social Distortions "White Light, White Heat, White Thrash" is one beautiful deep melancholic (at times desperate) masterpiece. Some Live Of Agony also does the Trick if you like Keith's more "whiny" singing.

Saturnus, Shining, Forgotten Tomb
Playing live with Forgotten Tomb tomorrow

That's great, Forgotten Tomb is sick!

There's a ton of depressive music: The new Ulver, old shit from The Cure (try Pornography, dark as fuck), Evoken, Beyond Dawn, Old stuff by The 3rd and the Mortal, My Dying Bride, Thergothon, Agalloch, Unholy, Ataraxie, Bethlehem.

Agreed. AIC has been recommended before in past threads like this. I didn't follow AIC at their beginning but they do have some really good shyt. Watch the Unplugged dvd if you have it/can rent it/steal it lol... a combo of musical beauty and unnerving despair when you watch Layne "try" to perform.

Lie down on the floor in the dark with Quiet World on repeat.
Stay there for a few hours.

 

[Grumble Grumble]

i only have quiet world on the saw you drown vinyl and the only record player in the house is in the family/living room downstairs so that may be kinda tough.

but on a semi-related note. ive discovered recently that discouraged ones is best listened to at a low volume in a dark room. gives it maximum appeal.

It's Sunday...blast some Venom!

Yeah Pornography and Faith by The Cure were very bleak and dark.

And holy shit, I just checked out Shining's myspace and that guy cutting someones eye! Good god that was disgusting.

It's from a 1920ties movie if I recall correctly. Quite a scandal then.

Was it real?
