Picking up on Seltzer's recs, Mono & World's End Girlfriend - Palmless Prayer/Mass Murder Refrain is one of the most beautifully depresssing records I've ever heard. Definitely agree with both Stop Swimming and Feel So Low for sad PT tracks. Any Katatonia is good but for me Brave Murder Day tops all: hearing Mikael Akerfeldt growl: 'The sound of falling...' in Brave is just amazing. I'm surprised that Portishead and Massive Attack haven't been mentioned, as Dummy and Mezzanine are excellent albums to brood to.

But Xasthur is the stuff, if you can handle it. Although I wasn't that impressed by his HH records debut, Defective Epitaph was a good return to form. Oh and check out Shining too!

Edit: oops, can't forget Jesu - s/t! Tired of Me would probably be the best track to go for in these circumstances.
