Can you recommend any depressive black metal bands?

[Master_Yoda77]

I Shalt Become.

Yes. I've only bothered to listen to Wanderings and their latest but actually good stuff. I'm not sure if they are depressive though.

 

[genocide roach]

ya know, i just got wanderngs, i'm totally not impressed. there isnt enough variety in riffs for me. it just seems uncreative and bland. but i've only given it one spin so far. maybe i'll discover its genius after a couple more
~gR~

For newer bands, Dödfödd is the only one I can think of right now that is quite good.

 

[Doomguy]

Darkspace - Darkspace II
Burzum - Hildskjalf
Dunketnacht - Das Leiden für die Ewigkeit
Chrono - Forest of Illusions

 

[Xorv]

Darkspace - Darkspace II

atmospheric, but still good.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Darkspace and Burzum should not be mentioned in this topic.

 

[cookiecutter]

I agree. Darkspace is really boring and Burzum is an influence on every DSBM band but can't really be considered part of the genre.

 

[Doomguy]

I like Darkspace.

And Beherit is good too, though I wouldn't really call it depressive.

 

[Pyro Stick]

I havent listened to them myself but what about Xasthur and Striborg

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I agree. Darkspace is really boring and Burzum is an influence on every DSBM band but can't really be considered part of the genre.

I was refering to the fact that they are clearly not depressive black metal.

 

[cookiecutter]

That is also true

 

[divine_torture]

Gris for sure. Trist for sure. Austere for sure.

Krohm is a personal favorite of mine.

 

[Vilden]

Burzum should not be mentioned in this topic.

How are Hvis Lyset Tar Oss and Filosofem not depressive black metal?

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

It would seem there is a new split with Gris soon.

 

[cookiecutter]

Gris and who?

 

[Xorv]

Gris and Gris

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

ok, they updated the blog some...not a split, but a collaboration:

Miserere Luminis est un album et un spectale. Il s'agit d'une COLLABORATION entre Gris et Sombres Forêts. Ceci n'est pas un split. Toutes les pièces sont composées par les deux groupes. Le tout est en composition et une tournée qui risque de rassembler se prépare pour Octobre 2009.

Yoda knows what he's talking about. Trust him.

 

[Vilden]

No he doesn't.

 

[cookiecutter]

Excellent, Sombre Forets are good
