ITT: Emotionally Harrowing and Depressing Albums

This album right here is some of the most depressing and claustrophobic music I've ever heard. The way this album just pulls you in with the haunting first track is just so consuming. I'll never forget listening to this for the first time, the way it made me empty and practically dead, it was something I've never experienced with music before.

pic related is the soundtrack to me crying myself to sleep

...

what? this music is nice to chill out to

shit bait

ace of bass

>I want to feel the way I feel when I'm asleep
this line has haunted me since the first time I ever heard that song
I think it might actually be directly responsible for permanently making me a little bit more miserable

Nazi garbage

How is it not comfy? It's slow reverb folk.

Giles Corey is literally just Grizzly Bear played at half speed and drenched in reverb

>Death Grips is just Kendrick Lamar through a distortion pedal

same
come back, Dan

Posting the obligatory but their whole discography fits the description.

I'm not as good at it as you by S is on the same level imo.

...

Some of the best screaming to be found in recorded music

not quite like Giles Corey, but my go-to sad album

I can't say I've ever looked into whether or not it's the intent but this entire album feels like experiencing the slow death of a relationship, starting out all upbeat and ending in bleak, hollow misery

As far as Cure albums go, this one is bleaker. Disintegration is cathartic and beautiful; Pornography is relentless misery. And it's also wonderfully ugly.

Bleakness-core (in progress):
>Swans - Children of God
Like joining an apocalyptic cult, or if you've ever wondered what hell sounds like.
>Scott Walker - The Drift
Former 60s crooner goes insane and turns out the aural equivalent of a very slow but persistent mental breakdown. One track uses a sample of a man punching a slab of meat for percussion. Guaranteed bad trip.
>Nico - The Frozen Borderline
A subgenre of bleakness-core: Antarctica-core.

>Pornography is relentless misery
I mean you're not wrong but Disintegration never felt cathartic to me, it felt like a descent into misery which was personally just somehow worse than Pornography's relentless barrage of it

This album is about as dreary and melancholy as it gets. every part of it feels tragic and heartfelt, and deeply haunted by the past and alcohol. amazing album

This is up there as some of the most neurotic rock music put to record.

I wonder how this is not posted yet.

this one isn't sad. its the other one that's sad.

I don't think anything can really match Giles Corey. There is plenty of great depressing music out there, but nothing quite like this. This album screams contempt for existance, it screams hoplessness. Its begging for the end. Nothing I've listened to has ever been able to capture that kind of pure brokenness

Because everyone here forgets HANL made a second album
Shame really

As far as individual tracks go I could drop a few that match that. But albums, you are correct.

the fuck are you on about, it's about hope that in the universe, there is still mystery to discover and other people to care about

...

This one too

>untitled is bleak and hollow
huh?

>hopelessly fighting the devil futility
>feeling the monster climb deeper inside of me
>feeling him gnawing my heart away hungrily
>I'll never lose this pain
>never dream of you again

Not the user you're replying to but yeah I'd say it's pretty bleak and harrowing. That said I disagree that the entire album shares those motifs. I feel the first five or so songs are prettt upbeat ans the album has a thematic turn about halfway through.

Of course it cannot match artistic beauty of Deathconsciousness, however I think it is way more depressive, bleak and hopeless.

In East Hastings, theres this beautiful setup for a call response part, and you hear the main theme as the call (the do do do doooooo) and then you wait for the response and theres just this awesome rumble of nothingness. This happens a couple more time and then the same guitar that was doing the call realizes he has to do the response as well and its just so fucking perfect and makes you feel alone.

Proof Nazis aren't all bad

i wish you would stop posting this

I stumbled across this release yesterday and it bared some familiarity to Deathconsciousness in terms of the budget recording and industrial/ post-rock influence. Was released on February 11th this year.

>Suicideoscope - s/t. (54 mins. Shoegaze/ Post-rock). Sample: youtube.com/watch?v=WDcOXjflqqM

I feel like this will eventually cross over into becoming sub-Sup Forumscore be it 5 years to a decade from now, it gets posted a lot and if you'll forgive me for making such an assumption comes across as a contrarian equivalent to Giles Corey.

>This album is about as dreary and melancholy as it gets.

hah. you are liek little babby to me.

AAAND I CAN HEAAR EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM

Underrated miserycore imo

Giles Corey is vastly overrated on this board.

>You're gonna run, it's alright
>Everybody does

Oi oi
This man knows what's up.

I like end of East Hastings with all the creepy experimental stuff.

either you love it or hate there's no middle ground

eh it's alright

By the response part do you mean that descending riff at 22:14?

I'm part of the Trilogy too guys...

SHE USED TO LET ME CUT HER HAIIIIR

This album. It's chaotic and loud and very disorganized (but in a way that works). It's almost kind of like an emotional release after the masterpiece that is TDAG.

Plus it has some of my favorite lyrics from them

>Holding out for rest but on the seventh day; I've created nothing and I'm wide awake

>There's too many saviors on my cross again
>I know that I will never be a perfect man

>Sitting duck, running out of luck
>Our car's stuck on the train crossing
>How am I ever gonna know peace
>How can I ever see your light through the trees?
>I wanna burn down everything I've begun
>I wanna kill and eat my young

The new album should be just as crushing if Appointments is any indication.

that last verse you posted sounds like somethig i would have written when i was 16 lmao

>tfw no one post based simon joyner

Cringe

So is the Voor thing real, is that actually samples of him passing out or is it just another black metal style attention grab? I couldn't find much of anything outside of references to him and his album.

LONELY MAN, LONELY MAN, I AM A LONELY MAAAN

WHEN I SAY, I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS, I AIN'T FOOLIN'

Same here man. I was really blue for a few months and that line kept repeating through my head.

>life isn't precious and life isn't sacred
>sometimes relief only comes when you meet death

The only directly "edgy" lyric on this, but the one that hits m most. There's a lot of depression and despair in most of the songs, most of them not as hamfisted.

tfw i hauled my Giles Corey vinyl ~200 miles to NYC for the HANL show last weekend and Dan Barrett signed it and gave me a hug

This was a fucking tough listen the first time. I only recently managed to listen to the whole thing.

True, I think it's absolute trash. I can understand what fans like about it though. Weakling-Dead As Dreams is probably the closest thing to it that I like.

I'm just hoping it doesn't feel TOO much like Sprained Ankle, you know? Hopefully she'll change up the instrumentation or production. I really liked the post-rock vibe from Vessels, maybe more of that.

There was a recent thread similar to this, and I finally listened to "I Have A Special Plan For This World" by Current 93 due to a reccomendation

it really fits perfectly in with "Emotionally Harrowing and Depressing"

headphones are mandatory. get ready to be spooked. and sad

>And I just let the parking lot swallow me up
>Choking your tires, and kicking up dust
>Asking aloud why you're leaving
>But the pavement won't answer me

underrated on this board. it felt like i was looking for this album for 15 years when i found it.

This one is a good soundtrack to die to.

I think the most depressing song would have to be this one.

The album itself is a mix of different emotions.
