Suggestions on sullen/gloomy bands...

[Krilons Resa]

Any good suggestions on great gloomy bands such as My Dying Bride, Katatonia, Opeth, Forest Stream, Anathema, Rapture, etc???

I dont like Sentenced or Paradise Lost though.

Just looking for more bands that fall into this category, since I buy about 10 fuckin cd's every week.



NP: Burzum - Det Som En Gang Var

 

[MURAI]

Lacuna Coil and Theatre Of Tragedy might be some bands you might be interested in. How about some Crowbar too even though they are not doom metal cause they're sludgecore.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I like Lacuna Coil a lot, I still gotta check out Theatre of Tradegy though. Tahnks man.

 

[Embers Astray]

Evoken - www.mp3.com/evoken
Grey Skies Fallen - www.mp3.com/greyskiesfallen
Daylight Dies

 

[Life Sucks]

Empyrium and Bethlehem if you can find them. Supposedly they play "suicide metal." Great stuff: all slow, gloomy, and depressing as hell. I downloaded all their mp3s I could find, but never was fortunate enough to find their CDs in a store. St. Vitus, Solitude Aeturnus, and Mourning Beloveth are sullen and gloomy too, although doom metal.

 

[SculptedCold]

Life Sucks' suggestions are good. I'd also add Neurosis (everyone knows about them anyway..) and Abruptum. Bethlehem and Abruptum are prolly two of the blackest suicide bands there are.

Skepticism - Thergothon - Evoken - Esoteric - Shape of Despair

 

[HarmonyDies....]

Has noone said Agalloch yet? i skimmed through and noone said it. Its highly important you check them out.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

some good albums:

Darkseed - Diving into Darkness
Antimatter - Saviour
Dargaard - In Nomine Aeternitatis
Schaliach - Sonrise
Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
Queensrÿche - Rage for Order (almost every song on here is dark and depressing)

and Agalloch like HD mentioned

I just picked up 2 Bethlehem albums. They rock. The dude's vox are fuckin' insane. Sheer agony! Also, got Theatre of Tradegy which I havent listened to yet.

Wow, good find! I was not able to find them in any stores. I take it you don't live in America?

 

[SculptedCold]

If it wasn't for your vocalist Hearse, I would have thought I was listening to Opeth playing as old men.

 

[The Devil's Steed]

The whole them of Shadows Fall's first album Somber Eyes To The Sky is depression, so you could check that out. Oh and Type O Negative of course.

Life Sucks, Empyrion is fucking good from what I've heard, unfortunately nobody stays on Kazaa long enough for me to actually download a full song from them.(only a few people there have songs from them)

There a quite a few songs by them to be found on WinMx. I was able to download one whole album plus some more songs. I think that WinMx is generally better for underground music than Kazaa.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Naa man. I live in Rhode Island. We have Newbury Comics here, which carry A LOT of underground shit. I got one new and one used. The one with the vocalist who is the most extreme vocalist I have ever heard is from the "Dictius Te Necare" album. That dude makes the hairs on my neck stand up. Theatre of Tragedy are really good as well.

 

[Toorop]

I buy about 10 fuckin cd's every week.

Lucky rich guy:Smug:

 

[FrostGiant]

Novembers Doom, Rain Fell Within, 3rd and the Mortal (Tears Laid in Earth is very gothic and doomy, female vocals, the newer albums are more progressive though), Maudlin of the Well, Brave, Tiamat, Autumn Tears (this isn't metal, it's more of a synthed symphonic with 2 female vocalists and some dude but it's pretty cool), Em Sinfonia.

 

[Necros]

Shape of Despair - Shades & Angel albums
I am not a huge doom fan but my god these are brilliant works of art, like falling into an endless black abyss.
