Manic Street Preachers - Holy Bible has to be one of the most depressing slabs of music ever released. I have only listen to the album once but man by the end I was in a state of depression and was so low my mind went to dark places...never listened to it again after that.

So yeah its "dark" as a whole, not just one song

I also vote for Pantera Suicide note. Both 1 and 2 parts.
 
Mayhem's "Ordo Ad Chao" is one of the darkest, bleakest, and most abstract albums that I have ever heard. Truly deranged minds at work on that one.

I used to think Black Sabbath would never be surpassed in evil and darkness......until I got into Opeth.

This album proves it, evil as hell sounding but they didn't use distorted guitars.

This! I love Damnation!!! Such a dark and evil album that isn't traditionally heavy.

Here are two others. Steven Wilson's The Raven That Refused To Sing. Such a sad, dark and dreary song. Granted it does add hope in the last third but I love it so much. As far as heavy...Strapping Young Lad's Bring On The Young. Heavy as hell!



 
aside from the first sabbath album which has already been mentioned below is some nasty stuff







also this is from 1970 -same year as the first sabbath album
 
The story behind Slayers Angel Of Death is about as dark and evil as it gets

The song "BLACK SABBATH"
It was the very first tune i ever heard that sounded like it was out of a horror film
and the fact it was written in 1970 makes me think WTF? :yes:
that was still the hippie years :lol: :LOL:

Ozzy has said in interviews about Sabbath staring out during the flower child years that "there were no bloody flowers in Birmingham"
 
All of The Cure's stuff from 1980 to 1984.


Also the following song by the great poet Leonard Cohen. It may not sound dark by the late 1980s production, but to me that driving pulse is the beat of a crystal methamphetamine-fuelled psychotic blackened heart.

"I don't like those drugs that keep you thin."

 
Aurora doing Bowies "life on Mars". Fucking haunting.
