Erm, you can also just ask "could you ban me please". Makes things much easier

Inside joke. Sorry.

Empyrium - Dying brokenhearted

Pretty sad song.

 

[GodAm]

I don't think this has been mentioned yet.
I am a huge fan of Neurosis, and band member Steve von Till released an album recently called "a Grave is a Grim Horse."
One of the songs on there is called "Willow Tree," and it is acoustic depressive awesomeness. The whole album is pretty depressing actually. I don't know if it's the saddest song I've ever heard, but right now it seems like it.

I would have to agree with the Alice in Chains statements. They have been one of my favorites forever! Layne just had this way of delivering melancholy that few can match. Jerry is a fantastic songwriter/musician.

@GodAm: Great song. \m/

Richard mentioned Empyrium, and that reminded me of a heartbreakingly beautiful song by them: 'Fossegrim'. Fucking tear-jerking.

Empyrium has incredible acoustic guitars.

Isis - Carry


well, maybe not that sad, but so intense!
Imagine listening to this song in a big, empty, dark room...

 

[Lisra]

Some cult of luna, particularly crossing over, is very sad. For me anyway.

 

[OminousInane]

Yeah Carry is an amazing song. Probably my favorite Isis song.

Behemoth - Hell Dwells In Ice is a pretty downer/chill one.

 

[stefan86]

Carry has got some fantastic atmosphere going for sure

Antimatter probably write some of the most beautiful and depressing songs ever made.

 

[Katatonic89]

Antimatter probably write some of the most beautiful and depressing songs ever made.

Not even close.

 

[Richard Mongler]

Not even close.

Agalloch suck compared to Antimatter. They're one of those bands that I think are complete and utter rip off off of many other bands.

So, who do you consider "even close"?

 

[stefan86]

Agalloch is pretty boring to me as well *awaits the beating*

I cast "protective barrier" on Stefan to prevent any further damage.

Here I can say that I wholeheartedly agree with Stefan, I've tried Agalloch several times, but there isn't a single riff, melody or phrase that even moves a single cell in my body.. I tried, I really did.. I wanted to like it.

Also I have to agree that Antimatter have written some extremely sad and down stuff, even though I'm not even a huge fan. Antimatter is a total party killer. That's Duncan Patterson's influence, he also wrote most of Anathema's darkest and saddest songs, Lost Control for instance, my god that is one miserable song.
