Most depressing song you know?

[Hypnos]

Moonlight - "Nic w życiu nie zdarza sie przypadkowo"

Moonlight is an amazing band.
'Meren-Re (Akt Ostatni)', 'Meren-Re (Dobranoc)', 'Nic' or '∞' are beatiful, sad songs. Maja has a phantastic voice.
yet i'm not very happy with the direction they took on Audio 136 and Downwords...

 

[Szawit]

I love "Ergo sum" - Moonlight's song from album "Yaishi".
Hypnos-> I think you've heard this song.

 

[Walkyria]

Alleine zu zweit - Lacrimosa

 

[Folklore]

try "all the pretty little horses" by Current 93 - with Nick Cave (they have one original version with horsies instead of horses, withouth cave)

 

[Walkyria]

I forgot Melancholy (Iced Earth). I love this song

 

[Slash]

Ode to melancholy- Empyrium

I can't agree more..Actually whole album is amazing..

 

[HeathenPride]

It's "Sen Mutlu Ol Yeter" (it's enough if you are happy) of Ibrahim Tatlises that Ophaned Land played in Istanbul

 

[Alcapoth]

it's realy a song in hebrow
and its far from being metal...

the israeli guys will know the song:
its about RON ARAD

But, The Beloved's Cry is a cover of Paradise Lost, is it not???



As for MOST depressing, I think I'll have to go with My Dying Bride's For My Fallen Angel. Geez...a very tear-inducing piece.




Stuff by Katatonia and Anathema as well as Antimatter are all runner-ups.

 

[Jrgen]

Most of Janus' stuff is really, really depressing, both lyrically and musically. Especially songs like Du siehst aus wie immer and Kinderkreuzzug. Their new album Nachtmahr is possibly the most depressing album I've ever heard. Nevertheless a work of genious, like everything else they've released.

 

[Muhammad]

My dying bride - Sear Me MCMXCIII

 

[LANTHWICK]

most depresssing songs are for YANNI :
in the mirror
so long my friend
Mezarkabul : for those who died alone

 

[Lee_B]

"Black Swans" by Forest Stream. These guys are the gods of emotional doom

 

[LANTHWICK]

also black swans for lacrimas profundere

Lacrimosa:
-Angst album

 

[Jrgen]

Yeah, Lacrimosa have some really depressing stuff, like Ich verlasse heut' dein Herz.

 

[Québec1837]

The song that make make me feel the sadest is from a french band (not metal)
Noir Desir - Bouquets de nerfs

In metal I think the best is almost everything from Agalloch

 

[Leilani]

The most depression bands ever will have to be Funeral and Depressed Mode.
Most of their albums are base on Doom funeral Metal with lots of dark lyrics atmosphere. This is my personal favorite bands.

 

[AlexGuinness]

"Teardance" by Beyond Dawn.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Karnataka - The Storm.
