There have been a lot of threads created in the past about this, but hopefully this can become the definitive guide to depressive bm. If you have any depressive bm bands you enjoy, please share them. I'll start by posting a few (I haven't heard all of them, but I plan to quite soon).

Burzum (Nothing more needs to be said, really)

Drudkh: Awesome band from the Ukraine, especially in terms of atmosphere. In terms of dbm, the first album is probably better than the latter ones (I only have Autumn Aurora which is stunning).

Krohm: Havent heard but plan to get 'A World through Dead Eyes' soon. I would like to hear some opinions.

Beatrik: Again, I only plan to get Journey through the End of Life. I would like some opinions.

Veil: Relatively unknown USBM band. I have heard good things about their release 'Dolor' available from Autumn Winds Prod.

I chose not to mention Xasthur, as I hardly find them depressive, just tedious. WAY overhyped due to this whole 'suicidal blackmetal' craze.
If anyone could post info on some Swedish dbm such as Hypothermia, Kyla, Durthang etc that would be excellent.

Its really great, fans of the fouth album will not get dissapointed. However people that expect true bm should look elsewhere, this is highly rock'n'rollish. Loading...

However people that expect true bm should look elsewhere, this is highly rock'n'rollish. it's not just rock and roll-ish, it's very poppy too. they have defenetly joined the new depressive pop/rock movement. i will give it a couple of plays, but until now, i found it flawless. ---- Blessed is he that murders Christ in himself and in his fellow men.

I'm not really sure on there entire SUBM scene as i'm not really a fan of it, i like 2 or 3 bands from the whole thing, it doesn't really do much for me, on another note has anyone heard of the Canadian Band Sombre Forets they are probably the worst example i mean, i think it would have been easier for main man Annatar to have gotten a copy of "A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors" and slapped his logo on it, (actually no even his logo looks almost the same as Xasthur's).

For those interested in depressive music, it will be out next week the portuguese zine Laudatio Funebris (written in english) featuring pagan, depressive black meta and extreme (mainly funeral) doom.

If there are some good interviews, I think I'll order one! Yes, all bands in the cover were interviewed. To become the zine more limited (less copies) it wouldn't be possible to make a professional printing, it had to be xeroxed.

Songs like "Alt Lys Er Svunnet Hen" and "Sorgens Kammer" are really dark and melancholic, at least in my opinion... hehehe! WTF?^10 There's nothing depressive or melancholic about the album (maybe a touch of it in Sorgens Kammer). I haven't really listened to any depressive BM other than Burzum but the cover of "Black Spell of Destruction" by Nargaroth (not by Xasthur) really hits the mark. ---- Suddenly........

The fact that Sorgens Kammer is slightly a ripoff of a videogame kinda ruins the depressive touch for me. I cannot really see why you see that cover of Burzum as depressive, generally, Nargaroth's songs aren't really focused on depressive emotions. I have no idea if I said it already in this topic, but when it comes to depressive black metal, nothing can beat Mutiilation or Weakling, hah. Loading...
