The most depressing albums ever.
TrueNeutral:
Or - the album to use to convince drug addicts to stop.
Joey JoJo:
Whoops, clicked submit before I wanted to, bad n00b.
Anyway, this album tells one hell of a sad story.
In short, an outcast banished from his village returns for his love, Melinda, fifteen years after being shunned. He convinces Melinda to run away with him, if only for one night. The Council of the Cross finds them, takes Melinda and cuts her throat. In blind rage, he kills as many of the townspeople as he can before them pull him down. He is hanged, and sees Melinda waiting for him as he dies.
Trollstormur:
Leviathan - The Tenth Sub-level of Suicide
sad album is saaaaaaad
Injektilo:
I See A Darkness - Bonnie "Prince" Billy
That's got my vote for most miserable and depressing album I know. Nothing like track after track of distant, haunting lyrics and guitar. The first track, "A Minor Place," doesn't betray the true misery of the album either, which makes the subsequent tracks all the more poignant.
Praeserpium Machinarum:
You know, while Will Oldham can be miserable, there is just too much black humour on I See A Darkness for me to find it truly depressing. I mean Death to Everyone has some, albeit chilling, black humour - just look at the chorus.
In fact on the contrary I think it is uplifting in parts, what with ending it all on a sweet note like Raining In Darling. Will Oldham usually spice up some of the songs with humour(A King At Night, Hard Life, Beast for Thee etc.) which is one of the reasons I find him so interesting. The compelling thing is that it isn't all that depressing despite the subject matter.
