So you come here in search of dark music? music that makes you feel out of place with the world, & lonely.... yet somehow oddly fulfilled? then you've come to the right place - I've heard 1000's of albums, 1000's of bands, & ive been around for 40 years... i live for this stuff, so you better believe i know what im talking about...


Here's my list of bands with the darkest albums i've ever heard.... ranging everywhere from mainstream bands, to underground metal bands


STABBING WESTWARD

Stabbing Westward, along with Nine Inch Nails, started industrial music... & were probably the most depressing band since Joy Division, although AIC was awfully depressing too...

Ungod

Wither Blister Burn & Peel

Darkest Days

Stabbing Westward

NINE INCH NAILS

Very good band, (more like very good person) - Trent Reznor has a huge following, & I'm one of them - He's made some of the darkest, & angriest music ive heard


And All That Could Have Been

The Downward Spiral

The Fragile

Pretty Hate Machine


THE SMITHS

One of the best bands of the 80's, in fact, of all time - "The Queen is Dead" is well known for being one of the darkest albums ever made, & i certainly agree


The Queen is Dead

Meat Is Murder

Hatful of Hollow

Louder Than Bombs


TOOL

Another awesome band...although a bit over rated (sorry Tool fans, but they dont deserve to be compared to Pink Floyd) - However, Tool has made 2 of the greatest albums ever, in "Aenima" & "Lateralus"


Lateralus

Ænima

Undertow

Opiate
