Melodic dark music ? band list needed!
 

Am looking for some melodic dark "church-like" music.. hard to explain really but what i am looking for is slow melodic church-like music with growling or deep male vocals..

if anyone has seen scrubs its the kind of music that is playing when the janitor is giving someone the evil eye in season 5 ...

any ideas which bands to give a try ?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but it is my best friend's band:

www.myspace.com/ribozymenorway

Not sure if you've checked out COF already, but most of their stuff is up that alley.

There is also Within Temptation, they have a few of that style: https://youtube.com/watch?v=AkmYXiaQNxs

Perhaps even a few others like Cruxshadows, To Die For, Crematory, Lacuna Coil or whatnot, but most of their stuff is either faster darkmetal or EBM rather than church style.

That whole genre is a tricky one to source good bands/songs thats for sure mate. :)

lacuna coil and within temptation are both on my list of favorite bands but they dont have this style..

what i am looking for right now is much slower, more organ and deep slow deep male vocals..

will check some of the bands listed that i havnt checked but please keep the suggestions comming.

might not have put enough stress on the fact that is SLOW music i am after, not normal tempo -> speed metal..

Like Creed?

try Lacrimosa, I think this is what you're looking for

Hildegard von Bingen

Hildegard von Bingen

try Solitude Aeturnus

http://www.eternalsolitude.com/

will give this one a try...

any other suggestions ?

You don't have permission to access /God-Sublime.mp3 on this server.

ooops.

fixed

Fantomas can stray into that every so often. Not often too slow though

Isle of the Dead

sounds interesting but cant find that as music, only referrences i get are to a painting ?

very good, close and something i will have to listen to more of.

which band ?

NEUROSIS is what you need.

Its a romanian band called God
I doubt you'll find a lot on the web
I can setup a torrent if ya really want it.

it is played by the russian synmphony...featured in many movies as the creepy scary music
Rachmaninov - The Isle of the Dead

i am starting to love you dude... please if you have the time please do it.. i just listened to it on repeat and love it..

I have some other bands on that style
and I'll make you a selection and up it.

please do and let me know where to get it...

Who did you find that was good so far? Share?

well the romanian band...

Mandragoras scream , probably spelled wrong
Dark Sanctuary
Autumn Tears
and a band i cant remember what is called but will post tomorrow..

in something nation.. really strange but good music..

looking forward to seeing what darksoul has up his torrent though, the romanian band was really good..

the strange band i couldnt remember what was called is

"in slaughter natives"

Anyone know where I can download this song... it goes like "please daddy no, no AGHHH!! mommmy!!!! HELPP MEE!! AHHH!!!"

its a really slow beat, and ejaculates at the end... i think i heard it when i was 11 or so?

thank you for your input.. as useless as could be expected from you..

goodluck :)

Sisters of Mercy. 80's "alternative" Male lead singer, dark melodic, haunting.
Biggest hit's: This Corrossion, Mother Russia, Theme from "Lost Boys"

Deep Forest: Melodic Chanting, Different Lead Singers, Where Enigma left off.

Tiamat's Wild Honey album should be close to what you're looking for.
