looking for extremely sad songs

I know you've expressed some interest in gothic music before but I forget what you've checked out. Have you got these albums?
Joy Division - Closer
Christian Death - Catastrophe Ballet
The Sisters of Mercy - First and Last and Always
I find these albums generally to be very sad with a production that compliments the music well and really brings out the mood, especially being that bass instrument in this genre is really
emphasized. Also, they are melancholic while being sincere rather than contrived, and without being too boring.
Also, Sopor Aeternus' Songs From the Inverted Womb
And how about My Dying Bride:

Fields of the Nephilim - Elizium if you want a goth recommendation
Unholy - The Second Ring of Power, very extreme mournful abstract doom

Sopor Aeternus is one of the saddest things you can hear, I like the music but what most attract me is the story about Ana-Varney Cantodea and the Ensemble of Shadows

This band isn't to extreme, but I love them a lot. if I remember right they are some type if metal like ambient or alternative.
I'd suggest their first two albums Vol 1 & Vol 2 since those are their darkest albums. Also you might want to check out their album called The Re-consumation.

Almost anything Agalloch or Insomnium. Woods of Ypres too. RIP David.
Although none of those bands are very extreme. I would have a hard time imagining a band that was both extreme and sad.
Also, Moon of my Nights by Kalmah. I might be alone here but I happen to think that song is pretty sad sounding. Old Man by Ensiferum used to make me want to cry for some strange reason--that's a relatively sad sounding song, haha, especially the way it ends.
Oh, actually, a good one would be Blade in the Snow by Whispered. It's fifteen minutes long and it's got a shit ton of different emotions in it, including joy, anger, and, of course, sorrow. It's a crazy epic, crazy good song. If you can, try and listen through the whole thing. I consider it one of the most underrated masterpiece songs in the melodic death metal genre.
Also, I'm sure you've heard this band thousands of times, but Wintersun is probably the most sad and extreme you're going to get without sacrificing either of those two elements. Beautiful Death is a really good song.

I couldn't disagree more. Devastatingly sad music is the most extreme music in my opinion. I think slam / brutal death metal is the only thing that rivals it in terms of extremity. The depressive / suicidal black metal sub-genre is a testament to this. Bands like Abyssic Hate, Forgotten Tomb, and Xasthur. Funeral doom also has more than its fair share of despondent bands, like Nortt, Funeral, and Abyssmal Sorrow. If you don't think DSBM and funeral doom are extreme forms of music then I don't know what to tell you.
