Black Metal is most certainly not just screaming. I've had a recent introduction to metal from a very helpful member on here and I know now that metal isn't "just screaming" (though I am a fan of the occasional screamy song)

Because I'm feeling nice today, and I feel like giving people music to listen to, I'm going to give you a few dark songs to listen to.

EXTRA LIFE - BLACKMAIL BLUES

You might not like the singing, but the music behind it is phenomenal. And if you're interested, here's an interesting live video I found.

KAYO DOT - MARATHON

A metal band I was introduced to a while back that I currently love very much. While they're not for everyone, they're still a very good band and I recently was able to become last.fm friends with the drummer (!).

BOARDS OF CANADA - MUSIC IS MATH

Geogaddi-era BOC was ****ing dark. Music Is Math never ceases to give me nightmares, and the ending is pure scaryness. I would understand if you didn't like it though. Electronic music isn't for everyone. PLEAAAASE turn this onto 720p on the youtube page. It'll sound much better.

THE MARS VOLTA - THE DRUNKSHIP OF LANTERNS

While The Mars Volta isn't the darkest of bands, they sure have an amazing singer who I'm jealous of. This band has everything you want. Two guys with afros, prog, an awesome guitarist, and several other cool things you should find out yourself. I strongly recommend you go and download De-Loused In The Comatorium. It's their best album.

And here's a warning for you:
Don't restrict yourself to one sound/genre/style. Broaden your horizons and don't be afraid to ask for help. Which goes to say that not all non-dark music is bad. I know several light, fluffy, fun bands that deserve some sort of ultimate music award.

Paedantic Basterd

You probably don't like the vast majority of rock music either.

No. They're retro, and I can't be arsed finding a new set to convey the same message.

Are you stupid? If you don't understand then don't reply.

TheCunningStunt

I didn't realise you owned the forum and decided on who can and who can't reply to your comments. I'll reply if I want to, that's the wonderful thing about an online forum - I get to take the piss out of people like you.

Interesting. There are people already there struggling to go in the opposite direction.
Why on earth would you actively seek to live a life of darkness?

I can't speak for him (TCS), but I know I'm not stupid and I fail to understand too.
Maybe you should do the non stupid thing here and explain what it is you mean exactly.
Another thing I fail to understand is the trouble you went to in making a comment you don't want to explain.
Why make that comment in the first place?

I'm looking forward to a fascinating explanation from a potentially fascinating person.
Failing that you just come over as an attention seeking, self professed faux enigma.
In short...a plantpot!
