Depressing songs or bands

[Taerdin]

I'm going to assume no one has said them (because no ones heard of them) and say Evergrey. I'm absolutely in love with this band, they're from sweden and probably the most unknown of bands I listen to.

They're also the most beautifully depressed band I listen to.

Heres a few songs to get you started...


Closure [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC83HAT72BY]
I'm Sorry [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bGp7LCRTlM]
Words mean nothing [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l92-Xa56Two]
Til Dagmar [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN3En1SDaD0]
The Shocking Truth [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuEn9nvPUYA]
Solitude Within [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf0mzSWA6Ts]

Did I mention I love this band?

 

[Toners]

Stop Swimming by Porcupine Tree

and a fellow porcupine tree fan!... why am I finding people with similar music tastes in a thread about depressing music? :S

Bohemian Rhapsody (no need to mention band) always brings tears to my eyes.

Not because its depressing just because the awesomeness of that song is overwhelming.

 

[searanox]

a fellow Agalloch fan? :O this person has much respect from me ^.^
EDIT: although Ashes Against The Grain was the better album, Falling Snow <3

It's not like they're all that unknown or anything, and they do tend to be severely overrated... but still good stuff.

 

[Broady Brio]

Always Allways - Lostprophets. This hasn't been mentioned. (This is a non-single.)

 

[Guestowel]

The Cure

 

[The Maddest March Hare]

Fade to Black - Metallica.

Spoiler: If you click on this and get saddened, don't blame me

Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this cant be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now hes gone

No one but me can save myself, but its too late
Now I cant think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye

 

[NeonZebra]

harry potter theme
i cut myself when i listen to it

 

[Golden Gryphon]

I always listen to Matchbook Romance when I want depressing music.

 

[EvilMuffin094]

All alone in my big empty apartment- Bomb the music industry.

 

[NeutralMunchHotel]

'The Great Beyond' has a sort of sad epicness to it, meaning that I always feel sad when I listen to it. It makes me feel like a failure, because I'm nowhere near as epic as that song.

Hurt by Nine Inch Nails

 

[SmartIdiot]

Nearly forgot about good ol' Trent. The Great Below by Nine Inch Nails is very moody aswell...

I always thought this song was kind of depressing. Maybe it's just me.

 

[Dr.Poisonfreak]

listen to Depress Mode or Kurt Kobain's depressing grunge band. The music was so bad the lead singer killed himself.

[Inarticulate_Underachiever]

I'm very dissapointed at the lack of Katatonia (has only read the first page)
