What are your best songs for listening while staying in darkness or in night, both metal and non-metal ?. Discuss and recommendation. For me is the song Fagning of Windir. Staying on bus moving in night seeing the slight light sparkling, best moment !

Fear Of The Dark

or anything by Moonsorrow...once in the summer i was returning home around the midnight, two thunderstorms (one came from east, one from west) raging around me and Moonsorrow's Luopion Veri in my ears...epic

The Oak by Opera IX because i think it's perfect for the night hours and i also find it to be very eerie. Actually anything off the Sacro Culto album is eerie and great for the late hours... Also anything by Rotting Christ is good too

Any one of Lycia's albums.

Rosetta - I remember listening to The Galilean Satellites while walking home near midnight, and it sounded great. I guess basically any Post Metal is good stuff to listen at night to.

I personally love listening to The Machinations of Dementia by Blotted Science at night. The music itself creates so much imagery that it's better not to be distracted by anything.

And also I guess The Maniacal Vale by Esoteric.

Anything by Xasthur, especially 'Prison Of Mirrors' becuase I always listen to this in the dark.

Hmm.. if we're talking about stargazing, then maybe Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan(though it's far from metal), if we're talking about darkness and shit ambient stuff should work pretty well.

I actually tend to shift more to the doom metal in the dark...like Candlemass or Krux

March Of The War Elephants by Reverend Bizarre is pretty hypnotizing, Planet Caravan and of course Black Sabbath should work too. But I am more of a Death Metaller so what do I know...

Lurker Of Chalice - s/t

That was one of the best experiences I've had of lsitening to music in a dark room... It has some of the msot beautiful but at the same time pitch black atmospheres I've heard. It's some sort of tranquility that is really disturbing.

There is one song Cradle Of Filth did. i hate them but that song just creeps me out. i dont know why...

Yeah same here. that song shold be considered space metal. Perfect for a well moonlit night

Love Never Dies by Angelika & Demons. Sleepwalker by Nightwish.

Anything by ISOLE specially "from the dark". & Vermilion pt.2 by slipknot

Immortal - all shall fall - the rise of darkness
as I lay dying - frall words collapse - distance is darkness
as I lay dying - shadows are security - the darkest night

Any Gorgoroth song...

If I want creepy, then "Years Ago"-Alice Cooper, or "Horse on the Moor"-Deadfly Ensemble (definitely NOT metal, but hey). I guess if it's more of a magical night I'm looking for then I guess something by Blind Guardian would be my choice, like "The Bard's Song: In The Forest" or "Nightfall". Another one could be (again, not metal) the Italian version of "Hijo De Luna" by Mecano.

Ulver - Nattens Madrigal. The whole album.

Mayhem From The Dark Past is fucking awesome in the dark

Any song by immortal
any song by draconian
any song by my dying bride
alcest -ecailles de lune album
bathory - a fine day to die
Demonaz - all blackened sky- dying sun
darkthrone - transilvian hunger
forgotten tomb-alone - enthroned by winter
katatonia - brave - rainroom
shape of despair - curse life - angels of distress(it is suitable for sleeping at night)
the angelic prcess - million year summer
cryptal darkness - my etrnal hunger
diving into darkness album by darkseed
tristania - lotus - open ground - equilibrium
astarte - lycon - princess of the dawn
opera ix - beyond the black diamond gate
and many more.... most of the time black metal,gothic and doom metal works well at night

The Lord of the Rings soundtrack
Primordial - The Dark Song
Manowar - Master of the Wind
My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans album
Anathema - Judgement album
Aenima - Never Fragile and Sentient albums
Morgion - Solinari album
Dolorian - When All the Laughter Has Gone album
Opeth - Damnation album
Cradle of Filth - Vempire album
Depeche Mode - Violator album
Neurosis - The Eye of Every Storm and A Sun That Never Sets albums
Anything by Katatonia

The best of the second wave of black metal...

Like Annihilator, Rush, and Black Sabbath are just killer at night. Especially Rush, it just takes me away man.

Pretty much anything by Agalloch I imagine. I've had this idea of going into the forests nearby at night while listening to the mantle via headphones, but I'm just not man enough.

Xasthur is my favorite music to fall asleep to. Very repetitive... soothing... cold.

Listening to metal (Especially black metal) is very good and atmospheric in the dark. Immortal, Emperor, Xasthur, Drudkh..... It sounds like you're in a forest.

The album Stormblåst (2005) by Dimmu Borgir

Fear of the dark of course....and there is some CoB song where Alexi is whispering something about reaper...i listened to it in bed with my headphones on, max vol and when he started whispering i almost shit my pants....tought somebody is next to me...brrrrahhhh...:D

Whitesnake - Still Of The Night
Iced Earth - When The Night Falls
Something from Judas Priest's Painkiller like Night Crawler or A Touch Of Evil
Bathory - Bathory, The Return or Under The Sign of the Black Mark (Any of his other works feel like something that should be listened to come sunrise.)
Bishop Of Hexen
Ghost
And finally, Night Prowler by AC/DC.
