2. Name three BLACK metal bands, and one of their songs. If you're a fan of dark music, I will give you bonus points if you can name at least two drone doom bands. If you fail to name one verifiably black metal band, I'll write you off as another person who worships/looks down on a genre even though they know nothing about it. I only have a few jazz albums on my computer right now but I'm not proclaiming to the world "JAZZ IS THE BEST GENRE EVAR!!!" because I only know about five jazz bands/composers/whatever.

3. I listened to one Cindergarden song and I was a little unimpressed. I can think of billions of bands that are darker. Hell, even Geogaddi era Boards Of Canada was darker than that. Your 3D background was promising, but your many wrongs have overshadowed that.

You comment is the only one worth reading, so I will answer with enthusiasm and without Google.

I know 2 black metal bands: Samael and Cradle of filth. Most of black metal is actually plain screaming.

For the dark music: I wanted to post about that. Do you know any dark songs that are worth listening to?

Cradle Of Filth are the most commercial black metal band and even Britney fans know about them. They are more gothic than black nowadays. As for Samael, that is industrial, at least the last few albums are.

You actually don't know anything, do you?

im sorry but ur intro makes it sound like u are trying waaaay to hard...
please clarify this for me:
are you "dark" or do you just hate life and all things happy?
do u sacrifice puppies, and swim in a razory black abyss of misery and pain in your spare time?

i cant stand people getting picked on but whats even worse is people who try too hard! be yourself! no body wants to be "dark" and "brooding" and "miserable" all the time! cheer up emo kid!

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.

Dayvan Cowboy: Thanks, but none of those are dark. The second one might be, but I dislike electronic. Cindergarden would still be the best. Just listen to all of their songs for damnations sake! They are not that difficult to download.

ravenRAWRRR and the other hundred or so member who do not understand the 'darkness' I am talking about: It is a feeling. Not in an enclosed area, not sacrificing puppies or swimming in misery. Misery, sadness and hatred is not a feature usually associated with me. This is pathetic, but sometimes I even feel remorse when I kill a fly, lol. I do not hate living things unless I have a good reason to, but when I do my hatred is great. This 'darkness' I have learned about after finishing the game 'Silent hill 2', and it is impossible to convey. I can only feel it in LARGE open spaces with certain features attached to them. It is a sense of freedom, horror and hollowness. I am not gothic, emo or satanic. Few weak examples of this might be:

GOD DAMN IT. I cannot post images

.

Again, do not reply with hate unless you understand.

And as I stated before (I think), I respect each man as I would respect myself until they disrespect me (The same applies to 'women').
