obviously everyone knows "Hours of Wealth" is the most depressive song ever

that PT song can claim second place though

'Hours Of Wealth' is not depressive.

Katatonia - Brave

I don't think opeth at all are more than slightly depressive. the "Damnation" stuff is melancholic as hell but the rest is not, at least not compared to many really depressive bands

'Hours Of Wealth' is not depressive.

dear god,

explain to me how 'Hours of Wealth' isn't depressive

 

[stefan86]

there are a gazillion bands more depressive than opeth

you ability to overexaggerate is almost admirable... I HIGHLY doubt that there is even 100 bands more depressive than Opeth...

Opeth's music reaches some of the most darkest depths of emotion, touching on topics such as "ghostly remorse over unfaithful lover" and "the harrowing tale of lepers in wake of their lost sense of humanness" as well as "grief stricken lover scorned by village seeking vengeance" etc...

Although maybe they are not depressive as your generic mainstream singer songwriter band

for me depression and quality are two different things. I was not bagging on opeth as I said that. guess I have to stop listening to katatonia, anathema and antimatter since they ain't metal enough

Blackfield - 1000 People

HOW FREAKIN GOOD IS IT???!?!?!?!?!?

 

[stefan86]

1000 People owns me completely, so does End of The World. It's only my second listening to it and I'm already liking.

they don't have to be metal to be as emotional as Opeth,

although your average mainstream band will mostly write songs about breaking up with their girlfriend or having too much to drink, hardly touching on any deep emotional topics...

btw, if you want to hear a depressive song, listen to "Vet for the Insane" by Fields of the Nephilim, and they are not even a metal band

and where do you see my average mainstream bands? I don't give a shit whether a band sells five million copies or five, it's songwriting quality I want. Locking one self to one genre is just closed-minded.

I was speaking about general music fans, not you in particular. But you haven't names any bands which you think are more depressive, to back up your statement
