Now I know that is probably the most broad term I can use. To maybe narrow it down. Like Novembre's Materia, Insomnium's latest two albums, Swallow the Sun's Hope. It really doesn't matter if it incorporates clean or unclean vocals or both. Just something you can listen to and just feel the raw emotion in the music along with good atmosphere. Even the feel of Rotting Christ's Khronos, where you can just feel it. I'm still being very vague but I hope there will be something. And I like all genre's of metal so the sky is the limit.

If it really is too vague I can list a few other bands & albums.

I'd say the last three albums by Amorphis is both atmospheric and emotional. Otherwise you can always go with Agalloch.

Worship

Their music, right when it starts playing, just sucks all the happiness out of you.

Heard of Agalloch, but I never listened to Amorphis. Heard good things about them. I'm listening now and it's pretty good. Amazing clean vocals. Thank you!

Edit: Actually, I have Agalloch's whole discography, I don't know why I said 'heard of them'. Ha.

Septic Flesh's newest two albums perhaps? Definitely atmospheric and on a few songs gets very emotional sounding.

Skepticism's Lead And Aether is imo very atmospheric and also emotional. Funeral doom (No clean vocals)

Tiamat's Wildhoney and A Deeper Kind of Slumber are among the most spacy, Floyd-ish metal albums.

Sad Legend would be my first recommendation- both their full-length and the EP are some of the most emotional, powerful black metal I've ever heard, and filled with atmosphere. They sound like their name, basically. Absolutely amazing band, and terribly underrated.

Primordial's "To The Nameless Dead" also comes to mind- atmospheric and emotional in a very different way than Sad Legend, but it has both qualities in abundance. Very epic album.

You might already know Drudkh, but I thought I'd mention them, as they can also be pretty emotional at times- most particularly on the "Blood in Our Wells" album, I find.

Coldworld is another possibility- extremely melodic, atmospheric music that's more or less DSBM, which normally is a sub-genre I don't care for much, but Coldworld are the one DSBM band I do like- the emotion in this case doesn't sound overdone, fake, or too one-note, which has been the case with most of the other DSBM I've heard. Anyway, excellent stuff.

I second Katatonia and Amorphis.

I find Shining's discography [minus the latest album], as well as Bethlehem's early albums, to be very atmospheric and emotional chaos.

"Where Dreams Turn To Dust" EP by Forest of Shadows. Fantastic doom/death utilizing both clean and harsh vocals. Highly recomended.

neurosis, agalloch, brave murder day era katatonia, cult of luna, lil wayne, isis, callisto, giant squid. Out of those i think agalloch and neourosis are the best.

I kind of disliked it for it but I think all after the great recommendations above like The Foreshadowing which is pure awesome, I shall now recommend A Forest of Stars.

I third Drudkh. And Second ISIS. Both of these bands are highly recommended! Isis is more like Swallow the sun IMO.

In Mourning, Amon Amarth (Versus The World/Fate of Norns), Dissection (Reinkaos).

May not be so much as atmospheric, but it is emotional. You did state you liked Insomnium so... :thumbsup:

X3 ^^


If you haven't already, check out Daylight Dies. Melodic doom/death. I love the latest two albums, but Dismantling Devotion is where I started.

I find Farsot to be very emotional and hateful, give them a listen if you haven't heard of them.. their "IIII" album, specifically

The 'Bergtatt' album by Ulver might be up your alley, too :)
