>>> Morgion is great indeed! But sometimes a non doom band can write depressing stuff too.

I don't agree. I don't find these bands depressing. Sometimes they can come off as silly. It's not about being slow, and playing heavy downtuned guitars, or making deep noise. It's about emotion, and the emotion it pulls from the listener. When a band over does it in this extreme, it becomes almost stale. I do like some of the music from these bands, but I think as far as depressive music, it is built on different elements some bands are too scared to add to their music, because they will be crucified by the doom-metal nazis. It's silly to trap yourself into any mold.

ColdDarkNord · September 21st, 2004, 11:05 AM

Deadhouse by Katatonia and In My Time Of Need by Opeth

Demonspell · September 21st, 2004, 08:11 PM

Morgion and Esoteric are excellent bands, and the former's Ebb Tide deserves inclusion on my earlier list...

Although I like some of those bands, I totally agree with the above statement. I find most songs from the below bands depressing:

Avec Tristesse
Dimness Through Infinity
Doomsword
Ebola Joy
Evereve(the first two albums)
Forest Of Shadows
Katatonia
Kimaera
Klimt 1918
Mar De Grises
Memoria
My Dying Bride
Novembers Doom
Novembre
Officium Triste
On Thorns I Lay
Orphaned Land
Riverside
Silentium
Still It Cries
The Old Dead Tree
The Wounded
Whispering Gallery

There are lots more, but these are the ones that are currently in my mp3 player. Btw. the best, most depressing songs from Baris Manco are "Gulpembe" and "Kol Dugmeleri". "Arapsaci" from Erkin Koray is quite depressing too.

thjasi · October 27th, 2004, 11:14 AM

End of green - Seasons of black (Great band!!!)
Theatre of tragedy - A distance there is

...and all the stuff that doombrother LION IN A CAGE already wrote down

warmwetos · October 27th, 2004, 01:47 PM

Most of these songs I wouldn't say they are depressing but full of sadness/despair.

Nightwish-Dead Boy's Poem
Queen - The Show Must go On (especially since this was the last CD Mercury made)
Black Sabbath - Lonely is the Word/Over and Over
Queensryche - I will remember/Suite Sister Mary
Dream Theater - Space Dye Vest
Rainbow - Rainbow Eyes/Temple of the King
Antimatter - Angelic (pretty much most of their songs)
Dead Soul Tribe - Regret (very upbeat song but none-the-less still sad in its own way)
Evergrey - For Every Tear that Falls
Blackmore's Night - I still remember
Kamelot - Sailorman's Hymn
Porcupine Tree - Trains
Marillion - Runaway Girl
Psychotic Waltz - My Grave
Pain of Salvation - Ashes
...countless too many too list

Forever_InFlames · October 29th, 2004, 09:23 PM

All of Katatonia's songs, and most of Opeth's mellower songs (escpecially some of the songs off of Damnation).

NvmbrsDoom5 · October 30th, 2004, 07:28 PM

Right now, the two songs that come to mind are...

When The Tigers Broke Free- Pink Floyd

The Jeweler- This Mortal Coil

Ironically, alot of doom metal, or metal in general, doesn't depress me in the slightest. "Moody", perhaps, but not depressing.

Morticia NL. · November 3rd, 2004, 01:49 PM

Most depressing song?

Has to be one of the Orphan's Tears demo>

Alice in Chains - Down in a Hole

when you really focus on the lyrics and think about Layne Stayley's life, and the manner of his death, this song is very very depressing. not necessarily in a way that makes me cry, but it just shows the immense struggle he went through his whole life, and he was never able to escape it.

Folklore · November 4th, 2004, 03:20 AM

Down in the hole and they put all the stones in their places.....

I grew up on these songs of AIC

In my darkest hour- Megadeth
And I love "down in hole"very much too- it's heartbreakingly beautiful, but depressing.

LANTHWICK · November 6th, 2004, 08:20 AM

COMPOS MENTIS- visions of tragedy
WHITE LION- when the children crie

ScientistOfDarkness · November 7th, 2004, 03:27 AM

Any number of Type O Negative songs. My Dying Bride's For My Fallen Angel

Sacrilege · November 7th, 2004, 06:53 AM

Misery Signals - Difference of Vngence and Wrongs
very personal song for me.

Morticia NL. · November 8th, 2004, 08:08 AM

Some Savatege stuff fom "Dead winter dead" this whole album is about the war in Yougoslavia.

LANTHWICK · November 8th, 2004, 03:43 PM

savatage

great choice MORTICIA NL
my choice is "grins again " .

Geri · October 18th, 2005, 01:41 PM

I agree:

My Dying Bride's "the Crown of Sympathy"

....it always have had the first place for me and then also

Theatre of Tragedy's "Poppæa"

...but now i should add a "new" one too:

Draconian : Death Come Near Me

I will allow myself a little correction regarding the thread name - i call this kind of songs - songs to think about and depressiv is for me the wrong word to describe. I mean - you won't get depressive by hearing this kind of music ...you're maybe alreaydy in a kind of "loneliness" - mood and are listening to this to think about your feelings.
