I can't possibly pick one.

Anathema - The Silent Enigma
My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans
Nortt - Graven (this would probably take the first spot)

Don't even get me started on black metal. It would take a whole day.

Burzum-Hvis Lysett Tar Oss

Mostly for the opening track, sometimes when Varg screams it seems like he's staring at the body of someone he loved or something depressing like that. :shock:

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRR

Anything Burzum.

Transilvanian Hunger comes to mind.

Also post rock like Red Sparowes has this kind of suburban depression going on.

Krieg, Leviathan, Xasthur, most USBM i've heard.

Noenum. Great burzum-ish BM

1. Velvet Cacoon - How The Last Day Came And Stayed Then Faded Into Simulated Rain
2. Nargaroth - Rasluka II
3. Tan Dun - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Burzum and Noenum get pretty depressive as well, agreed on that.

Lisa Gerrard solo stuff gets me depressed. It's great, "OMG the hero just sacrificed himself/the baby just died" film music.

Otherwise, not sure. Burzum never seems so much depressing as introspective to me, maybe I need to listen to it in a forest or something.

Tough one. Tossup between:

Sentenced - Crimson
Thergothon - Stream From The Heavens
Amorphis - Eclipse (more for personal associations than anything else)

Neurosis/Scott Kelly's solo work/Steve Von Till's solo work by a long shot. They make me feel like I should be drawing razors down my wrists and crying while listening to them to get the full experience...

Ooh, yeah. The one who sounds like Bob Dylan especially, good stuff for drinking alone to.

Hmmm... tuff one. I'd say Freedom Call - Eternity or Power Quest - Wings of Forever. Whenever I hear those albums I want to kill myself.

I agree that Sentenced is definitetly depressing. Frozen is also a fairly depressing album. The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails is something that I listen to quite a bit when depressed. And there are countless others; including:

No Need To Argue by The Cranberries
and possibly
Surfacing by Sarah McLachlan

Agree with whoever said the downward spiral, I lent that to someone who returned it to me the next day and never borrowed anything else of me ever again, turns out he was a manic depressive...ooops.

I also find Katatonia - the great cold distance bloody depressing but I think, Like Kayla's Amorphis thing, it's personal association.

Aside from that Draconian and Green Carnation can be depressive if they catch me in the wrong mood.

I've always thought The Downward Spiral was a happy album because he's sad all the way through, but then it ends on an uplifting note...
