What are some ultra bleak and desolate slowcore/sadcore bands? I absolutely adore Chokebore's A Taste For Bitters. It`s pretty bleak, lyrically and musically.



I enjoy stuff like Codeine, Arab Strap, and whatnot, but it doesn't seem sad enough. Give me the most dejected bands you've got, from within the alternative spectrum of course. I know enough DSBM.

If you haven't already, check out Lowercase, Jessica Bailiff, Carissa's Wierd, Bluetile Lounge, Lowlife, Asylum Party, Black Heart Procession, Of the Wand and the Moon, Prolapse etc. Not all sadcore/slowcore but certainly depressing. I assume you're already familiar with RHP, Rex etc? Noise rock bands such as Guzzard and Distorted Pony are pretty bleak.

This song may also appeal too, very glum;
