Anybody know some dark music?

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

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

try
biro - the servant
burn that broken bed - iron and wine
how to dissapear completely - radiohead
a drunken punchup at a wedding - radiohead
comin' home - city and colour
laugh i nearly died - the rolling stones
ego tripping at the gates of hell - the flaming lips
moorea - gipsy kings
cinders and smoke - iron and wine
softer - jimmy eat world
firestarter - jimmy eat world
jenny - the killers
buzzards of green hill - the les claypool frog brigade
bliss - muse
bermuda highway - my morning jacket
peculiar people - mute math
us and them - pink floyd

i could go on.

and i agree with chichomego, jesu is great.

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.

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

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

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