This is the music I hear in my dreams.

I've been a post rock nut for about a decade now. My favorites are: Signal Hill, Mogwai, This Will Destroy You, Six Parts Seven, Explosions in the Sky, Red Sparowes, & Godspeed You Black Emperor

Demdike Stare. (Arguably a little too knowing, but still eternally listenable.)

Pram.
Wonderful.

Spiritual Front - 'Nihilist suicide pop'. I think they played a gig with Death In June (another favourite) recently. I also love Current 93, Morrissey, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Townes Van Zandt, Leonard Cohen, Stephin Merritt's bands (The Magnetic Fields, The 6ths, The Gothic Archies) , original line-up The Smashing Pumpkins, Zwan, to name a few others.

Since I've seen no mention of the Australian band Portal herein, I'll recommend them to the black/death metal fans of the forum. Although some may find their song titles to be trying too hard, I think they are very evocative and fit the music well: Abysmills, Awryeon, The Back Wards...

To me they sound like all matter grinding itself to oblivion in a cataclysmic rush for the end.

I also recommend Impetuous Ritual (also from Australia) and Antediluvian and Mitochondrion (both from Canada).

Wumpscut, Big Black, Skinny Puppy, Darkthrone, Lustmord, Bastard Noise, Subhumans, M.B., Whitehouse, Current 93, Mobb Deep, Nas, Meat Beat Manifesto, Dissecting Table...

You should look through Off the radar metal album recommendations - THE NIGHTMARE NETWORK

Portal gets mentioned.

They've become one of my favorite bands. I love Outre' and their last album Vexovoid blew me away.

No one has posted here for a while. Maybe you could post some of your favorite videos.:D

The Residents anyone? It ought to be sufficiently nihilistic, misanthropic, and horrific.

CONSTANTINOPLE

SINISTER EXAGGERATOR

BLUE ROSEBUDS
"Your words are empty hollow bleatings
Of a mental crutch
They're open-festered indigestion
With a velvet touch
An ether-eating Eskimo
Would gag upon your sight
Convulsed into oblivion
From laughter or from fright
A coma with a sweet aroma
Is your only dream
Malignant with the misconception
That a grunt can gleam
Your lichen-covered corpuscles
Are filthy to my fist
Infection is your finest flower
Mildewed in the mist."

LOVE LEAKS OUT - Creepy video.

FINGERTIPS - Decadent images of roses and death. Depressing.

ALMOST PERFECT - Late Residents song, as they had become fully accomplished musicians. Easier listen for the uninitiated.
