Know any good Dark/Atmospheric albums?
« on: August 03, 2011, 12:36:07 PM »
Hey I was wondering if you guys could recommend me some good dark albums for me. I've been reaching many musical dead-ends recently and I just can't find any new artists to get into. I was searching for some good night-time music, full of emotion and all that. Something along the lines of...

Fear of a Blank Planet
Blackfield II
f#a#(infinity)
The Wall
Insurgentes

Or songs along the lines of...
A Change of Seasons
These Walls
Fiction (A7X)
In The Name of God
Music for a Nurse
Lost Without You (JP)

I hope you get what sort of stuff I'm looking for. A bit of metal, atmosphere, beauty, clean, dark stuff  :P preferably no growls

Gosh I'm so demanding :sadpanda:

Ghost Reveries (Opeth) - The most dark/atmospheric album that I know of.

Continuum II (Bass Communion) - Drone/doomish.  Very good.

Atmospheric is the last word I would use for Ghost Reveries. It definitely applies for Opeth's first three albums however. Especially Morningrise if you want something DARK.

Maybe I just don't get the word "atmospheric"?  When I think of "atmospheric", I think of music that just surrounds you and immerses you into itself.  Which is basically what GR does.

Jesu - Heart Ache. It's something in between shoegaze, drone and post-rock. Not very dark, but it has a nice atmosphere.

The Angelic Process - Weighing Souls With Sand. Dark and atmospheric, and really heavy. Like a more metal version of Jesu.

Om - God is Good. Rock, I guess. Distorted bass and tribal-ish drumming. Very relaxing, in an odd way.

Ulver is the best band for that description. Also, GR is far from atmospheric. :lol

I made a nighttime music thread awhile back. You might find that a few of these are worth your time:

Quote from: Ravenheart on May 01, 2011, 01:17:48 AM
Ulver - Perdition City
Sarah Fimm - Nexus
Type O Negative - October Rust
Portishead - Dummy
Joy Division - Closer
The Smashing Pumpkins - Adore
Depeche Mode - Black Celebration
Porcupine Tree - Signify
Chiasm - Relapse
Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies

If not, you can punch me in the face.

Here are albums I consider to be nighttime listening.

Trentemoller - The Last Resort
Not at all metal, more ambient then anything. It's very hard to describe. Just give it a listen.

Riverside - Out of Myself
Rock/Metal, in vein of Porcupine Tree. Very relaxing and has a good balance between soft/METULH parts.

Ayreon - The Human Equation
This has everything. A real emotional rollercoaster! :P

I find Shadows of the Sun even more dark than Perdition City, but maybe that's just me.

I came into this thread thinking any of the Burzum prison albums for some rather dark material.

The suggestions for Perdition City and Mezzanine are spot-on.
