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
