Music to be miserable to...

[Liquid Diamonds]

Now, the 'music to be cheered up to' thread has gone down a treat, and has some really excellent suggestions in it. Some of it, in fact, is beginning to cheer me up (a monumental task). But I think I'm gonna have days when being cheered up just... isn't gonna be an option (as I'm sure everybody else will at some point). And on those days, we all need something to compliment our solemn mood.

So, with that in mind, what music does everybody think is most suited to wallowing in our own depression? I have a few... but I'll contribute them later.

Any suggestions?

Mydyingbride- My hope the Destroyer

Katatonia- Tonights music

A Perfect Circle-The Noose, 3 Libras

Hahaha gunna sound cheesy but the song 'Dust in Echoes' is quite a depressing sorta tune.

 

[Lost_Orchid]

I would say anything by My Dying Bride or Mourning Beloveth works...
I also listen to Pelican sometimes too. I'm not sure why...it isn't particularly somber music.

 

[R0l0]

Nick Drake.

Dark Lunacy - Forget Me Not
Counting Crows - August & Everything After
Acid Bath - Pagan Terrorism Tactics

A few random songs (the above are all albums):

Oh, and Nortt. They're the only band I've seen described as 'funeral metal'. Its fairly hard to listen to, though.

Have to agree with Kenneth on Anathema's A Natural Disaster or any records done by My Dying Bride.
Also Antimatter's Everything you know is wrong.

Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory (It is pretty depressing if you follow the story.)

Ayreon - Actual Fantasy (It isn't exactly depressing, but the atmospherical content of the songs are pretty low.)

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (Duh)

- the TMSFGJAEUPGWMSFFWELCFBTPMN

 

[Khayman666]

Sentenced - Crimson, Frozen and Down are all great for the mood.
