Stephen Jesse Bernstein. More of a poet than a band, but his album "prison" is probably the most played of anything in my collection.

next one, although overpraised, The Libertines produced good music (hey, in the first video that's Kate Moss quite hot):

I had to listen several times to their newest CD before I became used to it but now I'm hooked.

Re: Favorite Bands?
 

Last weekend I read HPL's The Colour out of Space while listening to Deep_Frieze. What an incredible experience this was! This music goes so well with stories featuring desolate places that I think I will make it a habit of listening to the album while reading some bleak weird fiction.
Thanks for the recommendation!

Just had to voice my gladness at the growing "metal contingent" here -- especially re: my shared interests, like Lunar Aurora, Deathspell Omega, Blut Aus Nord, and other weird by-products of the black metal movemement.

I haven't heard it yet, but I'm sure I'm not the only one to have noticed that Leviathan's new CD is entitled "Massive Conspiracy Against All Life." There has to be a connection there; it sounds like the kind of rewording one does when beaten by another artist to a grand idea or quintessence. I intend to do some reading of interviews to learn the details.

The new Meshuggah and Origin discs are amazing, though they're not really "dark." Just insane.

And I have to mention that there's a black/doom band (or one-man project) called Brown Jenkin, released on Moribund Records. Haven't heard it, but I can use my imagination ...

Re: Favorite Bands?
 

I know what you mean in regards to the new Leviathan cd...somebody started a thread with the album title and I instantly thought of CATHR.

I haven't got around to checking out the new Meshuggah, but I intend to.

Something I think most Ligotti fans and metal lovers should enjoy is Sculptured's Embodiment. Simply put, it's so far my favorite album of 2008, and it'll easily stay in the top 5. The album expands and at times obliterates the definitions of "avant garde progressive death metal" to new realms. The theme of the album revolves around the quote "Embodiment is the purest form of horror" (which also happens to be the title of track 6). The album is one of the most pleasant listening experiences I've had in quite some time. Also, if you're a fan of Agalloch at all, Sculptured is required listening since it's Don Anderson's other band (not sure whether I should call it his side project or main band).
