Figured if we have several threads dedicated to music, I'd just go ahead and make one dedicated to stuff like dark electronic, industrial, witch house, goth, trap, ambient, etc. since there doesn't seem to be any threads for it. Basically, music that you'd listen to alone or get comments like "scary" or "halloween music". Or maybe it's depressing, but in a contemplative way that you appreciate. It can be any genre that's appropriate, but I'd highly discourage metal, not because I don't like metal, just that I feel like that's distracting from the intent of the thread. There's already a metal thread, but I'll allow the doomier, gloomier metal. I'll start us off with some songs to get what I'm talking about.

Finite Automata - Caustic
Fever Dream Horror Scene - Blue Blood
Hecate - Coven In Heat
Dirty Paws - Last Sight
CREEP - Jessica King, ft. Dark Sister
Raven Said - Shadows On The Ceiling, Shadows On The Floor

Some famous classical works:
* A Night on Bald Mountain
* Danse Macabre
* O Fortuna from Carmina Buranas
Gonna list game music (barely listen to normal music anymore):

Most of Blood's soundtrack:

Registered MIDIs is the most important section. Alternatively, CD music, although I find it a much worse fit for the game than the MIDIs.

Unreal Tournament 3. The Necris themed tracks in general are good, but this one stands out:

Sir, this is a gaming forum! So let's listen to "Kain refused the sacrifice" :P...

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2 - Main Theme (OST)
Ok, here a track from Grim Dawn: Ashes of Malmouth:
Grim Dawn: Ashes of Malmouth Soundtrack - 07 - City of Ruins
25 Cromwell St. - Apoptygma Berzerk, This is a really dark and disturbing feeling electro song I stumbled across years ago. For those who don't know 25 Cromwell St was the address of Fred and Romsey West a pair of married rapist and serial killers who lured young women into their home sexual tortured, raped and killed them and buried them in their back garden in the cellar or hide them in the walls, some of their own children were victims. They were only court when one of their children told a teacher that his father would frequently threaten kill them and put them "under the patio like your sister".

Cryo Chamber on YouTube is pretty much the go-to channel for dark ambient music.
I really liked Gallowbraid (https://gallowbraid.bandcamp.com/album/ashen-eidolon-ep).

Here are the lyrics as well: http://www.darklyrics.com/lyrics/gallowbraid/asheneidolon.html

There are two musics from the band Nightwish that I can absolutely not listen without feeling depressed, Higher Than Hope & Angels Fall First. Besides those, The Poet and the Pendulum & Beauty of the Beast, despite not having such a sad rhythm, may be pretty impactful for those that have an idea how depression feels like.

And more fear/anxiety-inducing musics would be Persona 4's OST "Omen" (specially during the section of the game where it plays) and Final Fantasy X-2's OST "Anxiety".

And there's something rather off-putting in both the Mary Skelter: Nightmares and Mary Skelter 2 versions of the OST "Labyrinth". Perhaps it's the strange speed (too slow in MSN, and too fast in MS2), or the instrumental dissonance, or the instruments having barely no pauses, which some or all may be giving a happy circus music tone on the surface, but with the impression that they're not quite right.

Only these sorts of music? I've got a lot of "spooky" or "depressing" songs (musically, lyrically or both) that would otherwise fit the bill, but I don't really listen to much chiefly electronic music. I guess at least that Fever Dream Horror Scene song is in the ballpark of some of the stuff I listen to. Interesting, some of the stuff you call "spooky" and/or "depressing". ;P

Those are just examples. You can post whatever fills your dark soul.

Not my words, though I have had at least one person reject something because they were already depressed and didn't need that in their life.
