What are your most "negative" albums?

[Mort Divine]

Some of these I just find comically not even remotely dark, or just a bit too cheesy to be truly 'dark.'

Silencer - Death Pierce Me?
Woods of Ypres?
Godspeed You! Black Emperor?

Not that those bands are happy, but I definitely don't get a sense of 'bleakness' and 'hopelessness' from them.

 

[KafkaX]

No hopelessness or bleakness from Silencer? Really?

Some of the darkest, depressing and haunting shit ever recorded in my opinion.

 

[Mort Divine]

It just ends up being excessively comical because of how over the top it is. It defeats any purpose it may have had, just can't take it seriously.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Warning - Watching From a Distance

 

[Mort Divine]

Honestly surprised that wasn't brought up yet.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Me too. It's not really negative as in "hate everything the world sucks etc." In that case, anything by Antaeus is fucking negative a hell. Violent and negative.

 

[Einherjar86]

Axis of Perdition- Deleted Scenes from the Transition Hospital

 

[JontRevolting]

The album that allows me to vent the most during times of extreme negative/aggression ect is Conqueror-War Cult Supremacy.Hands down the single most violent/bloody minded album ever.

Take one shot at it with a purely open mind, accepting the vocals are absurd. It becomes incredible when you can creep into the awkward shrieks.

 

[SomeGuyDude]

Silencer - Death Pierce Me
Eyehategod - Take As Needed for Pain
Lyrinx - Nihilistic Purity
Abyssic Hate - Suicidal Emotions
Lord Mantis - Pervertor
Sunn O))) - Oracle
Austere - To Lay Like Old Ashes

This list. This list. Damn.

"enjoying" Pervertor right now. Right where I need to be.

 

[SomeGuyDude]

Also adding both haarp albums. "Husks" and "The Filth". Both are godddamn filthy.

Will Haven - El Diablo earns a place on here, too. I think this was the album that led me into metallic hardcore and eventually post-metal because it was so ridiculously unhappy.

Oh yeah haarp are cathartic for sure, amazing that the singer hasn't blown out a lung yet. Also, loving the attention Lord Mantis are getting around here as of late. Pervertor rules.

My open mind laughs at the guy going waaaaaaaaahhhh.

 

[Addo_Of_Nex]

Seconding early Swans, Godflesh- Streetcleaner, and Antaeus.

Axis of Advance- Strike (describes a Cold War-esque situation where a prodigious boy learns about an incomplete alien plan to erect pyramids to destroy a pathetic mankind; so awesome)
Adorior- "Hater of Fucking Humans"
Morbid Angel- Blessed are the Sick
Terrorizer- World Downfall
Slayer- Reign in Blood
Order from Chaos- An Ending in Fire
Immolation- Here in After
Dead Congregation- Graves of the Archangels
Discharge- Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing
Bongripper- Satan Worshipping Doom

 

[CF87]

Godflesh 'streetcleaner' is classic.

 

[KafkaX]

Bongripper- Satan Worshipping Doom

This is my drinking soundtrack. Perfect album to get obliterated with.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Going with the "wanting everything around you to die" criteria I'd say off the top of my head:

Godfleash - Streetcleaner
Napalm Death - Smear Campaign
Grief - Dismal (Really I could have gone with any Grief album but this one in particular stands out in the miserable department)
Dread - Buried In Narcissism
Dragged Into Sunlight - Hatred For Mankind
Rollins Band - Hard Volume
Mourning Beloveth - A Murderous Circus

Fleurety tops Silencer in the shriek department. I can't listen to either tbh.
