Heresie is darker than 1313, in my opinion, David.
If you want darker than that though, try Shub-Niggurath's Les Morts Vont Vite, or even their self-titled.

It's not quite spot-on, but Fear of a Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree has some really depressing lyrics.

yes i was just about to mention this band, as mnay pople forgot about them.
ulver's newest, "Shadows of the Sun", may just be the most depressing album I've ever heard. Definitely one of them. |
Shadows of the Sun is the physical embodiment of sad

That CD woke me up today!  hadnt listened to it in a little while but i have it on again right now and definitely agree with the description, although the most depressing album has to go to Dirt. no topping that. Wow , i think i like Ulver. A lot.

Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger or Superunknown, Alice in Chains's Dirt, Nirvana's Nevermind, Pearl Jam's Ten. Okay all grunge movement.

here, I'll try to put a list together (In no particular order):
1. Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies
2. Alice in Chains - Dirt
3. Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
4. Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
5. Pelican - Australasia
All five of these albums make me feel like crap. Enjoy ;)

I wish I had been able to see them when Layne was alive. Just on the records I get shivers from his voice too...so much agony to it, you couldn't help but feel it with him.

Listening to any AIC, and in particular Dirt, is pretty eerie now in hindsight. I wonder if everyone in Layne's life--friends, family, etc.--saw the cry for help that especially that album seemed to be. I'll bet it's hard for them to listen to some AIC music in light of what became of Layne. But I'll agree, Alice In Chains, to me, represents some of the most genuinely bleak and hopeless music ever recorded, and I love it.

well, a lot of it really is the lament of a man who seemed like he wanted to die, and sadly, he got his wish

maybe that's why it was my favourite album and AIC was my favourite band for a while, I just have a natural inclination towards depressing music. I hadn't even thought of that when thinking of depressing albums, but now that I actually do think about it, AIC is really depressing and hopeless.
