The most depressing albums ever.

Edit: GODDAMMIT!
Anyways, I meant to post an image of GY!BE's f#a#(infinity).
I find it apocalyptic and creepy. But awesome none-the-less.

CURRENT 93 - CATS DRUNK ON COPPER
A live album that, despite the fact that A Song For Douglas After He's Dead is conspicuously absent, really does just pull together the whole Inmost Light/Inmost Night strand of C93's work into a evocative compendium of personal and biblical apocalypse. From the fantastic re-working of Twilight Twilight Nihil Nihil (Never has a track been more redeemed from its original incarnation). The intensity of C93 live performances is married with a brilliant song selection and, for once, really good recording quality. From the opening sample, to the last, choked up words of Dave as 'Happy Birthday' fades into feedback and applause ("Thank you. That's all we know".) This album is a masterpiece.
SOPOR AETERNUS & THE ENSEMBLE OF SHADOWS - ES REITEN DIE TOTEN SO SCHNELL (OR: THE VAMPYRE SUCKING AT HIS OWN VEIN).
Why is the album title so long? Why is Anna-Varney naked on the front in full Butoh make-up with her mouth stuffed full of black rags? Who cares. This is deep stuff, if you can connect with it. The theme and imagery is heavily gothic-romantic, centering on a subject that should be extremely played out, that is, vampiric angst. However, unlike the cartoonish antics of, for example, Cradle of Filth, Anna-Varney traps in to the higher vein of 'monster' literature and film, which uses the accentuated plight of the living dead as a vehicle to comment on our own human experience.

Christian Death - Only Theatre Of Pain (with or without Deathwish ep)

I just don't find almost any goth rock depressing. Christian Death is maybe approaching something gloomy, but as a genre it's all just too danceable. I'd say without the Deathwish EP.
