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.

did anybody hear Taarma? depressive black from afghanistan, with basement like productions, and a killer atmosphere. recommended..


Yes I heard this solo project and it is truly utterly amazingly crap. Wannabe Xasthur rip-off and not worth a cent.

I totally agree with the following review:

Yeah, not depressive black metal. I agree. But a very unique form of BM which has similar structure as Depressive BM, but strangely sounds calm and different, is what Alcest play.

Fucking gooooood.

Anyone mentioned Draugsang? As far as I know they have only one EP, Seil Pa Skyggans Hav, a very good one if you ask me. Melanchonic and dark as fuck.

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 was talking about that specific song not general nargaroth songs. I think its damn saddening, the pace is slower and it seems that kanwulf was is crying.

I am going to start posting here again

Recently in terms of DBM I've been listening to Moat, USBM which is kind of depressive I guess, some good riffery anyway. I have 'the Sun is Destroying Us All' which is good but they have a new album out soon. Nothing beats Abyssic Hate.

Also been spinning Misery's Omen, blackened/extreme doom which is very good. The vocals are pretty retarded (although I'm not really a doom expert) but some of the solos are fantastic, their self titled ep is recommended for everyone here into this sort of stuff.

Checked out both of those bands, and while I wasn't too much into Moat, Misery's Omen is very good. I just ordered myself the self-titled EP. Only heard the first two songs though, but I expect all of it to be good.

And the vocals are a bit 'retarded', but also very 'charming' if you ask me.

Well I guess Moat is a bit of a vague example of depressive bm, I think they are pretty good though.

That Misery's Omen EP has some great tracks, a few of them are a bit fast and not as 'depressive' as such, but a lot of them are really intense. They have really good acoustic breaks and some epic solos. 'Desolate Winds of Mars; is my fave track.

Sterbend musically is very simple, the guitar structures are nothing special, but the atmosphere is great. Their vocalist is amazing. About new records, the new Shining album was a pleasant surprise to me.

Zombie, M.D.
Im too lazy to skim through the thread to check if Ive already touted them about, but I highly recommend Mortifera. "Vastiia Tenebrd Mortifera" is probably the most soul crushing cd Ive ever heard, regardless of genre. Its not as up-front, flamboyantly depressed and stuff like Forgottem Tomb and such. Maybe melancholic or nostalgic would be better words. Either way, I appreciate how much more subtle and romantic it is when compared to the bulk of depressive black metal. Even on what is surely my 1,000th listen I still get a sinking feeling in my chest or goosebumps on the back of my neck when I listen to it,

I own that disc too and it is indeed damn great. Haven't listened to it a thousand times though, it is one of those records that deserves for more airplay in my collection.

Don't know if I've already posted or not, but:

LLN is great for some depressive Black Metal.

Aäkon Këëtrëh is fantastic, and some early Mütiilation. Silencer is great, and then Xasthur and Leviathan are pretty awesome too. I'm just getting into Forgotten Tomb.
