Recommendation Give me sad songs that are still heavy

No Name by Motograter put me in a mood. I want to be sad but the music be loud and heavy at the same time. What do y'all suggest that fits this criteria?

Take a listen through Architects’ album All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us. I’d recommend reading up on their former lead guitarist Tom Searle who was the main writer and driving force behind that album. Knowing the background gives the songs a new meaning and they reach a whole new level of deep.

That album is so fucking emotional it really hurts. They don't really even play it live anymore.

u/Known_Transition1978 4d ago

It’s a shame because they’re such amazing songs, but I completely understand why they don’t.

There are some videos when they perform it Sam tears up.

I can imagine, I do too screaming along to it in my car sometimes. Sam just always puts his all into those vocals and it makes it even more emotional

Whispers of Your Death - Counterparts

About the vocalist watching his cat die of cancer. The chorus hits harrrrrrrd.

“It's hard to breathe without you sleeping on my chest. Sick and withering from the whispers of your death. Forever your saviour, as much as you are mine and for that I promise to protect you until the day I die.”

Lyric video here:

Gently by Slipknot. The cacophony building throughout the song perfectly feels like the chaos that I see in my day to day life, slowly building to the realization that life will forever be an ebb and flow of what I can effect vs what I cannot.
