Anybody know some dark music?

[mrdevious]

I'm looking for a band with a darker feeling, just wondering if anybody knows of a good one. Not so much dark like death metal artists singing about the devil and such (though that's good too), but a "sadder" tone. I don't know, "sad" isn't exactly the term I'm looking for, but something around the lines of dark. Dark Tranquillity's "therin" or "undo control" would be a good example. though I'm open to non-metal bands/songs as well, just not lame lounge music or angsty emo or anything. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

you should check out JESU its kind of like dark ambient metal....its mostly instrumental. If you do listen to the song "friends are evil" thats kind of a dark song...and it sounds AMAZING while high.

Dark music?

Slow music? or music about death or what? You looking for something like slipknot or something slow and depressing like coldplay

[Its a Plant]

Try some of Les Claypool's projects: Primus, the Flying Frog Brigade, the Fancy Band...

His stuff's dark, but at the same time, it makes you feel good. It sure is out there though. Les love him some LSD.

It doesn't have to be slow to be dark, but no I don't mean like slipknot (whom I don't care for). Just something that conveys a darker emotion. The 2 Dark Tranquillity examples I stated are excellent songs, worth checking out. Some of the latest Theatre of Tragedy album "Storm" could fall into the category. Maybe just the opposite of uplifting.

EDIT: no, not something that makes you feel good

Thankyou for all the suggestions James420 (and Chichomega).

I think I have my finger on it now. Something that makes you feel depressed, but a little angry too.

[Loathsome]

Try Agalloch or some of Ulver's early music for a black metal/folkish feel

[Silverant]

The album "Mezzanine" by Massive Attack has a sort of creepy and sad feeling to it.

[SmokingPlatypus]

Massive Attack is very good and dark and chilled out, Coldplay and Radiohead too.

[aeonblue11]

Tool is good dark music, especially their album "Undertow".

Yes! Try the Sunn 0))) album Black One.

It's really great but you may not dig the vocals...

[righteousjosh]

I dig the vocals....thats actually the only album I like from sunn o)).

Do you really live in the Wetlands?

[BlazeAfat1]

Wintersun is an amazing melotic Heavy metal band with crazy guitar and amazing vocals!

[Ae...]

Technically no. Reasonably close, yes.

[LittLeWinG]

Download Close Yet Far by CKY, It's pretty cool and sounds a bit gothic and sad.

[explodingmachine]

Listen to Muse's album Absolution, or anything by Muse for that matter.

[Az.]

Alot of people find his voice annoying but it was the first thing that cam to my head when you said dark music

Type O negative - Black No1 (Little miss scare all)

Also a band called
"Acid Bath" are amazing...they only did two albums but if you have access to d/l them I strongly reccomend it...

He also was in a band called "Deadboy and the lephant men" Which was alot slower and more depressing if thats what you are looking for....

I just love his voice

Ill upload and post a link if you cant find that Type o Negative song....if your interested

[The Colonel]

Alice in Chains
A Perfect Circle
Tool

[Az.]

Yeah I have to agreee

Opeth are amazing!!!

good one!!

[suhl]

not that any body will ever hear these buyt scream of the butterfly and also bones of baby dolls, both by acid bath are some dark shit

[dark0ne]

opeth is the shit! the song "the grand conjuring" is great. fear factory is good the album demanufacture is my favorite.

[thcbongman]

...And You Will Know Us By Trail Of Dead,
Kyuss
Coheed & Cambria.

[DrSians]

To me, it doesn't get much darker that "Dirt" by Alice in Chains. Lots of death, suicide, drug use, etc.

[9bob]

Something that makes you feel depressed, but a little angry too.

The Cheeky Girls?

[klonopin]

check out afi, or Cradle of Filth!!

[yogro]

Try 'Blue Nile' Scottish band from Glasgow. Albums were made in the 90s.

[TrainOfThought]

tool, tool, tool, opeth, tool, opeth, tool, tool. opeth is as great as everyone said... but make sure you check out tool!
