The most terrifying and/or abysmally depressing songs

[Manbient]

I'm working on a new Passion Immortal compilation, and i'm looking to amass some new material, so i'd be thankful if you guys could reccomend me some music. I'm looking for stuff that is just dark dark DARK, stuff with the potential to terrify you, and stuff that can completely change your mood and bring you right down. I don't necessarily mean "sad" depressing, but moreso the stuff that makes you feel completely lifeless.

So yeah, any help would be awesome, thanks!

Anything by The Gault should be dark.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Joy Division - Decades

 

[Blinded By Blood]

Deleted Scenes from the Transition Hospital by The Axis of Perdition

 

[KMADD]

White Slavery-Type O Negative

 

[Life Sucks]

Bethlehem - Dark Metal
Atrocity - Longing for Death (especially the song Sky Turned Red)
Thergothon - Streaming from the Heavens
Nortt - Gudsforladt

 

[Dän]

Its kinda chliched a bit. but i regard some of Burzum to be rather Dark, im not sure would actually terrify anyone though

 

[Consuming Impulse]

everything on burzum's filosofem
its depressing and its one of the greatest records of all time.

 

[Life Sucks]

maybe Moonblood - Blut und Krieg, as well

 

[Blaphbee]

Ras Algethi - Oneiricon - The White Hypnotic

Fantastic doom. Especially the track When Fire is Father.

I was expecting someone to have brought up Blut Aus Nord by now. The ambient pieces and Procession of the Dead Clowns probably would be apt. You probably already know that anyway.

Well i read some reviews on this, some utterly praising it, some completely trashing it. I took your advice though and i bought it along with the previous EP just now for the hell of it. I better be scared

Thanks for the other recs guys, i'll be getting around to them asap.

I would've gone with The Ichneumon Method by Axis of Perdition if you wanted to scare the absolute piss out of somebody...but the other stuff is pretty good

 

[Manbient]

I downloaded that one, and it's got too much of a steady beat. steady beats are not scary.

That was me, but I decided against it for some reason. Prolly thinking they were too experimental I guess. Works Which Transforms God was the album I was thinking.

'Hours' off of Lengsel's Solace is pretty freaking disturbing - it literally sounds like hell

There's a song from the 1930's called Gloomy Sunday.

The song is so depressing, it's rumored to be the cause of several suicides and has actually been banned from the radio in 15 countries by governments because of its supposed suicidal influence.

It was originally written as an instrumental by Rezso Seress in 1931 and was given English lyrics in 1936 by Sam Lewis. Hal Kemp originally recorded it, then Billie Holiday made it a best-selling hit.

Incidentally, Rezso Seress, and the woman he wrote the song for, eventually killed himself.

 

[Death Animal]

Well Senteced have few song that hits on me.

It took the night to believe by Sunn0))) is creepy to me at times.

Sadness Will Prevail by Today is the Day makes me feel...well, kinda "dead". Makes me get all...thoughtful and stuff, and I guess maybe "depressed" too (whatever the hell that means nowandays).

Probably wouldn't be too much of a widespread feeling though...eh, I tried.
