this seems fun, gonna interpret the prompt somewhat literally
Gruesomealtar - Cold Reflection of Two Truths (black metal, stompy heavy feral lycanthrope shit, crazy breakdown at around 3 mins that's one of my favorite moments in any song ever) https://yewtu.be/watch?v=59vlZlg-x30
Orgy of Carrion - Demo 2020 (black metal, relentless and consuming von/beherit worship with mid-80s slasher synths) https://yewtu.be/watch?v=YHyAIsQGXYc
Torture Corpse - Invocation of Nirrti (bass-heavy black noise, my favorite blind scream and writhe find, feels like being born filthy and joyous and alone, a channel to the divine opening out from your skull) https://archive.org/details/Torture-Corpse_Invocation-Of-Nirrti
Lustmord - Much Unseen Is Also Here (dark ambient, followup to 1990's heresy, portal to a subterranean dream realm where every stone and pillar can see and hear and envy your moving flesh) https://lustmord.bandcamp.com/album/much-unseen-is-also-here
Anyway, look, this list is mostly vibes-based, and you'd be hard pressed to find literal darkness in here, but there's something of a shared obscuration of the soul going on.
If you listen to just one track off it, make it 45 Grave's Phantoms.
With the triumphant return of @neurothing for today's #ThursdayFiveList , we have fallen into the abyss and are peering into #TheDark . Paint it black, you devils.
Welcome back @neurothing, I hope you had a good break. I usually go into the office on Thursdays so I'm not as active here. But I got a #ThursdayFive post done for #TheDark. 😎
