07.07.18 | Diary by Sunny Day Real Estate is a great depressing album and an absolute 90's emo classic. |
combustion07
07.07.18 | Remember that album being on damn near every list when I joined here. Definitely going to jam again |
Grimlin
07.07.18 | Bohren und der Club of Gore. Depressing yet relaxing slow jazz. Listen to Sunset Mission or Black Earth, preferably. |
Drifter

Nosferatu D2 - We're Gonna Walk Around This City With Our Headphones On To Block Out The Noise

Superman Revenge Squad - We're Here For Duration... We Hope!
Superman Revenge Squad - There's Nothing More Frightening Than The Passing of Time
ND2 and SRS have the same singer/guitarist but ND2 is Lo-Fi British Emo with drums and SRS is acoustic with similar styled lyrics. Both are rambly and the singer is so full of personality, it's great. |

07.07.18 | Great list.
Katatonia - Fall of Hearts. |
Observer
07.07.18 | sometree - moleskine
epic, indie post rock act that is largely unheard of. Album is very painful (in a good way) once the songs take root. I may do a review in the future since they dont even have a band page on this site. Album stream:

S - I'm not as good at it as you
Chic from Carissa's Wierd. Her best solo outing and hits right in the gut. Album stream:

Shining - Halmstad |
budgie
07.07.18 | i put #1 on this morning, it's not really depressing i think, definitely that track in the doc is real moody though |
Wildcardbitchesss
07.07.18 | Probably not as mellow as you were hoping for but Stage Four by Touche Amore is fucking hard for me to hear. |
LeftyMcRighty
07.07.18 | Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - "I See A Darkness" |
combustion07
07.08.18 | As far as Mum goes I would say Finally We Are No One is more depressing. The ones were O mention song titles in description are mainly for those songs rather than the full album though |
PortraitsOfDecay
07.08.18 | ^ was just about to comment halmstad
I also second songs about leaving and recommend what it takes to move forward by empire empire |
budgie
07.08.18 | "As far as Mum goes I would say Finally We Are No One is more depressing. "
that's crazy. finally we are no one is the most comforting, uplifting album in my rotation |
JustJoe.
07.08.18 | * Trespassers William -- "Different Stars"
* Red House Painters -- "Down Colorful Hill" |

Mount Eerie - A Crow Looked At Me |
combustion07
07.08.18 | Uplifting and depressing kind of go hand and hand for me so I could see it either way. Not the most emotionally intelligent person though lol Warning is amazing. |

be careful with that one yeah |
dtsanchez
07.08.18 | Red House Painters - Down Colorful Hill
Low - I Could Live in Hope |
LunaticSoul
07.08.18 | Green Carnation-s Light of Day, Day of Darkness is a 60min long track lamentation of a father that sees her daughter die
I-d add also We Lost the Sea, Departure Songs / singer committed suicide shortly after
Pain of Salvation's Remedy Lane is pretty depressing too, concept is all about estrangement, loss of love, bleak childhoods and suicide tentatives.. so...
Nine Inch Nails's old stuff is also depressing and missing. I'd add also Type O Negative
some great recs, from deathconsciousness to Elliot Smith |
Egarran
07.08.18 | "Green Carnation-s Light of Day, Day of Darkness is a 60min long track lamentation of a father that sees her daughter die"
"The album was largely inspired by the death of Tchort's daughter and the birth of his son." -wiki
Quite an emotional balance act. But the music isn't depressive imo. |
TheSpaceMan
07.08.18 | Honestly Dummy is such a brooding and defeated sound, it's like the audio equivalent of sitting alone at an empty, old fashioned bar, pounding a 6th Manhattan, staring longingly at the temptress singing on the center stage |
Scoot
07.08.18 | pianos become the teeth - the lack long after
the atmosphere on this album is crushing |

Egarran
08.13.18 | My Dying Bride - Like A Perpetual Funeral
Somehow the phrase "I reach for my shadow in horror" makes sense. |
rmcrae
08.25.18 | Try "Transient" by Gaelle. I don't know if I'd call it depressing but there's a strong sense of melancholy. |
