The most depressing song you can think of.

[Winter.]

Red Water is depressing as hell. Probably my favorite track off of October Rust.

Love You To Death is my favourite off of OR.

I was tossing up between Red Water and Bloody Kisses, but a few people had mentioned that one already.

 

[CF87]

My Girlfriend's Girlfriend is my fav. classic

the video is just as great also.

 

[The Ozzman]

October Rust is terrible.

I would say most songs off World Coming Down
Almost anything on Katatonia's last three albums
Alice in Chains - Rotten Apple

 

[Jreg]

I really feel that the song Von off Satanic Blood is incredibly sad. I get a sense of isolation in that song as well.

You mean the song "Satanic Blood" by the band Von I'm assuming? I get more of a sense of incompetence than anything else from it.

 

[Lord Ornlu]

the most depressing songs I've heard
->i died for you (iced earth)
->black sabbath (black sabbath)
->funeralapolis (electric wizard)
->oceanborn (nightwish)

 

[Slayed Necros]

You mean the song "Satanic Blood" by the band Von I'm assuming? I get more of a sense of incompetence than anything else from it.

The last song on Satanic Blood is, in fact, titled 'Von'.

"Kneel before me
Show no face
For thou blood tears show thy suffering

Blood Von!"

Classic shit.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Metallica - Enter Sandman has probably made me more depressed than any other metal song.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I assume you mean unintentionally depressing.

 

[Satanstoenail]

I assume you mean unintentionally depressing.

You'd have to ask the band.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Metallica - Enter Sandman has probably made me more depressed than any other metal song.

How? The Unforgiven and Fade to Black are Metallica's most depressing songs imo.

 

[mutantllama]

I think he meant it was depressing, as that's when they "sold out" and different then their earlier material.

 

[King Richard]

They didn't sell out until Load.

 

[The Ozzman]

Load and Reload are good, you faggot

 

[Einherjar86]

I don't think Metallica ever "sold out," but I definitely don't think that Load and Reload are metal albums.

They show Metallica maturing and choosing to pursue a new direction in their music. There's nothing to indicate that they did it in order to sell more records. They were already millionares from The Black Album. They did Load and Reload because they wanted to play raunchy, ballsy, and fucking awesome heavy hard rock. And they did it well. Then a bunch of their hardcore metal fans claimed they "sold out" because they weren't playing the music that they liked anymore.

I always embrace change in a band, especially when they pursue a more refined and mature path like Metallica did (songs like Mama Said and Hero of the Day are just genius).

 

[CF87]

Evoken -tragedy eternal is one of the most depressing songs ever. Embrace The Emptiness is one of the most interesting and well crafted albums i've heard to be honest.

 

[Jreg]

The last song on Satanic Blood is, in fact, titled 'Von'.

"Kneel before me
Show no face
For thou blood tears show thy suffering

Blood Von!"

Classic shit.

It's like a mirror, dude.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Not exactly a song but Burzums Chanelling The Power Of Souls Into A New God is very depressing.

 

[Cythraul]

They didn't sell out until Load.

Bullshit. Have you even listened to the black album?

 

[viewerfromnihil]

Metallica - Enter Sandman has probably made me more depressed than any other metal song.

personally, i find metallica-fuel much more depressing

 

[tagradh]

A Perfect Circle - Judith/Blue/Magdalena/The Nurse Who Loved Me
Katatonia - My Twin
Porcupine Tree - Trains
Antimatter - Ghosts / Leaving Eden
Pearl Jam - Once / Black / Garden
Radiohead - Climbing Up The Walls
Agalloch - The Lodge

Metal hasn't ever really sounded depressing/sad to me.
