What happened to her? She had one amazing album then that's the last I heard.

Spoiler: Trigger warning for screams

Absolutely harrowing.
I heard this a few years back.
The screams are apparently from real mental patients.

Spoiler: Lyrics

Your South Coast town bleeds
I'm suicidal
And you need me to not be
The low season
You hate January
Except in the snow scenes
I'm losing to fear
And you need me to not be
Your efforts to calm me
Are just hurting yourself
I'm haemorrhaging health
There's rust within cold
The low season
Amusements fold
My Dad is scheduled to die in March
Oh, it's ever the scene!
Was there ever a you?
Was there ever a me

 

[Days like these...]

Maybe not nihilistic but sad

wrong post

 

[Machine]

There is an old Patton Oswalt routine that talks about KFC bowls where he name-checks a classic sad, nihilistic album:

“Stop right there! Can you pile all of those items into a single bowl and just kinda make them into a wet mound of starch that I can eat with a spoon like I’m a death-row prisoner on suicide watch? … Is there a way that the bowl can play This Mortal Coil’s It’ll End in Tears album while I’m eating it at 2:00 in the morning in my darkened apartment, just kind of staring into the distance? … If you could put my lunch in a blender and liquefy it and put it into a caulking gun and then inject it right into my femoral artery, even better. But until you invent the lunch gun, I would like a failure pile in a sadness bowl.”

This is so nihilistic that you are gonna think about cutting your throat with a dull knife

 

[L*][*N*K]

Depression Cherry by Beach House is a pretty depressing Album

Rishloo - Salutations [Prog Rock]

Spoiler: Lyrics

[Verse 1]
These are only words and artificial tones
We're just skin and bones playing telephone with things
We probably never said at all
This world is stitched with schemes
Where once there was reality
It's hard to reach across the unbelievable distances
Between what we really are and who we claim to be
The irony engine isn't lost on me

[Verse 2]
The shame is that we saw it coming
In the faces of the young among us on crayon and paper drawings
The clearest writing on the wall we could ever ask for
What do they believe?
Where are all their fathers? Where are all their mothers? Who left them there alone with the television remote like some Philosopher's Stone
"Figure it out on your own, child"

[Verse 3]
If I still have anything to say, I'll try to make it plain
Contrivance is a luxury I don't have in the time that's left before the madness overtakes me
I'm a voice among the voices
The roar of whispers closes in
And the point seems to be pointless
And I've forgotten who I am
And I've forgotten who I am

[Outro]
These are only words
Artificial tones
These are only words
These are only words

a song that's partly about how fucked up the world is, society being blind to obvious issues, all in all a very doomer mentality in this song.
everything is going to shit and everyone knew it and did nothing to prevent it.

criminally underappreciated band btw.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

D Days like these... , this depressing OP makes a lot more sense in context of the new one about turning 50 and divorcing. Sounds like you're doing better now, which is good! Haha

 

[Hohenheim]

From the top of my head:

Coil - Musick to play in the dark (vol I and II)
Tim Hecker - Ravedeath,1972
ANTI - The insignificance of life
Deathprod - Morals and Dogma

All of Lustmord's stuff.
The smiths is quite nihilistic in a funny and very melodic way.

Love the Smiths. Rusholme Ruffians and This Charming Man are my favorites

 

[YCoCg]

Surprised at the lack of certain Grunge bands, especially Soundgarden with tracks like this (sort of made worse considering Chris Cornell hung himself years later)

[NikuNashi]

The Smiths - Asleep.


'deep in the cell of my heart I really want to go'

 

[Futaleufu]

This is a local classic that you may know if you really like prog


Another classic
