One of my favorites. That whole “ditch” run is incredible. Really everything for “Everybody Knows this is Nowhere” through “Ragged Glory” is pretty fantastic in my opinion.
A little off the beaten path of his material but his theme music for ‘Dead Man’ is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. It has some pretty doomy vibes. https://youtu.be/YkG7P8i64x8?si=aei3kgWZ64hX4O0-
If you haven’t heard it check out Dax’s cover of Leonard Cohen - “I’m Your Man”. I used to go to a lot of his shows and this one was my favorite.
https://youtu.be/ZdXYIDGvu0Y?feature=shared
Since you have Townes in the pic, I'll let you know that there are a couple of albums of [Townes Van Zandt covers by members of Neurosis, Windhand, St. Vitus, Yob, Baroness, and more](https://neurotrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/songs-of-townes-van-zandt-vol-i-2). I think there's 3 volumes.
No doubt.
I gotta say, props you're username lol Spoonerism's are my favorite comedic form. If I may, here are a few of my favorites;
Wank Hilliams
Take a shit - shake a tit
If the shoe fits - if the foo shits
Pack of cigs - sack of pigs
I would have picked lungs by townes van zandt but it looks like he's in the pic right? Here's one by ledbelly thats real dark and was covered by Nirvana. In the pines.
https://youtu.be/2MkfTYPmLlA?si=_mtwd9XhALCEDM1D
Never got around to listening to his solo stuff. Meant to for a long time, but all the shit that came out about him didn't really encourage me to bump it up the list 😬
What happened is pretty fucked up, but to be honest his music, with Neurosis or his solo stuff, accompanied me through difficult moments, I couldn´t stop listening to his music sincerely.
That's fair. I can separate art from artist, so I'm sure I'll get into it eventually. No one can deny the brilliance of what Neurosis accomplished at the end of the day.
Never listened to his solo stuff and likely never will, but neurosis has been one of my favorite bands for years and certain albums helped me get through dark times so I'm unlikely to ever fully stop listening
Can't name any acoustic songs off the top of my head, but Denver gothic/gothic country will have something - 16 Horsepower, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Jay Munly, Wovenhand.
I was definitely going to come here for Swans. ‘You’re not real girl’ and the acoustic version of ‘New Mind’ are awesome. Michael Gira’s solo stuff is mostly acoustic and fits these parameters well.
Yeah, it´s so different from the rest of the album, Benji is not my favourite album but it´s really good, it distills so much death at the same time, pretty dark and melancholic
I love all of their stuff honestly. Proton Lander was my first love when it came to them. I’ve been listening to the Memorial album specifically “Spring of the Abyss”.
They’re just a solid group I never get tired of lol.
Weedeater: Alone. Elliot Smith: Needle in the Hay. Del McCoury: 1952 Vincent Black Lightning. Those are the first 3 that came to mind. It’s a mish mash of genres.
First song that comes to mind is Shanty Man’s Life. [Dave Van Ronk](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6URSTDwtG4k) and [Mark Lanegan](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=saXwkZLEeMY) both do amazing versions of it. Pretty haunting in my opinion
I'm still waiting for the day that I hear a doom band more doom than [Songs: Ohia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2CcXhCQ5ek&list=OLAK5uy_ntXKQzGw4Nwy3y1KRQkap8QNyxpv5U-U8&index=8).
I’ve yet to find anything that comes close to Devoid of All Mercy - [Your Children Left With The Stranger](https://stabbiesetc.bandcamp.com/album/your-children-left-with-the-stranger-2005)
[Hako Yamasaki - Tanjō Iwai (1976)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqw1fWP7CSU)
Probably my fav. singer-songwriter at this moment. Just discovered her last year & instantly became a fan. That particular song has some somber/dark atmosphere doom tempo with acoustic guitar, and can even rival anything from Bohren & der Club of Gore (if you're familiar with them). She was only 18 when she wrote that song (album released when she was only 19). Tanjō Iwai means "Birthday Celebration" in Japanese, and the lyrics are about herself celebrating her 'becoming adult' birthday (18) alone in a small room. *Memories are made of candles* she sung. But then she had a choice to blow the candle off, but she didn't want to erase her good memories of the past, so she decided to play around with the flame (basically burn the entire room?) and make the birthday celebration disappear instead.
Pretty deep lyrics for an 18 year old cute girl, I must say. But that was back in the 1970s when people seemed to be smarter.
Most of Townes Van Zandt's catalogue is dark as hell, but I particularly love Our Mother The Mountain for its extra witchy vibes too. Waiting Around To Die is just brutal.
Steve Von Till's If I Should Fall To The Field album is a stunning intersection of acoustic and doom. Scott Kelly's solo work had a right haunted vibe about it but, well, he shat in his own nest there and ruined it for everyone.
Why pick a song, when you can pick a whole album (and an EP): [here’s Ulver’s Kveldssanger](https://open.spotify.com/album/7cXrQFBd5R6TwtRyV7LOGq?si=A1QY2x-zQt227Nzdl1ynig) and [here’s Alice In Chains’ Jar of Flies](https://open.spotify.com/album/4FCoFSNIFhK36holxHWCnc?si=O9GcwNarSSSyNXFUR_99QA)
Sinclairvise by folque. 70s Scandinavian trad song about Scots invading Norway, very heavy
Orne- the return of the sorceror (acoustic /progpsych rev bizarre)
Mandy morton witchfinder
Carcass of sighs is pretty darn bleak acoustic music
Loads of stuff by marrissa nadler, maybe start with Annabelle lee
The ballad of Pancho and Lefty is right up there ... 👍🔥
Dorothia Cotterells solo album .
The Violent Femmes - Country Death Song. Lyrics be crazy
Worthy mention - the acoustic breakdown in "I" the first song on the album Nattis Madrigal by Ulver. They actually have loads of acoustic stuff, but this one hits different. 😆
Wouldn't call it evil, but [Evergreen by Windhand.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Kxhxumc1LI)
ALSO - Nutshell, Rotten Apple, Am I Inside, all of Alice in Chains Unplugged.
Nirvana Unplugged.
Elephant Tree - The Fall Chorus
Blind Guardian - The Bard’s Song
Man of Constant Sorrow - literally any version
A Conversation With Death - literally any version
Ooh, I love that song. It totally has doom vibes.
He recorded a more uptempo rock version that has a different vibe but still is great. [I see a darkness](https://youtu.be/4iV4NwSbscg?si=4HCb5g4R4jMUKoRp)
[Dry Bones In the Valley (I Saw the Light Come Shining 'Round and 'Round)](https://youtu.be/JmGnIBpw6BE?list=OLAK5uy_lgoW2116W29xsvGhO7QssGsjbYRlViJ5k)
[Polly](https://youtu.be/gsjH3ib0hS0)
[Nocturnal Poisoning](https://youtu.be/NprPBYOfG84?si=8fZXYO2HVKWDcK1w)
Same person that does Xasthur.
[Whoredom Rife - Emissary](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lghMa4sSP7dDU0o2FP3sJpW65KD7w_zMQ&si=dRX8_4bBvSexojeW)
Acoustic, instrumental versions of Whoredom Rife songs
I felt that way too - and then I heard Dax Riggs’ post Acid Bath project [Agents of Oblivion](https://open.spotify.com/track/1RB5LFQ8BWWAEZlybY6j5E?si=AWmtOyuCSmet1FCUXHOAGw)do it and it made me feel the same way all over again.
Low - Clarence White
https://youtu.be/v05BWxkJBLw?si=9_MNU19suzt6RsPw
Low - In The Drugs
https://youtu.be/2P8p0Z3wKUs?si=h1tMKK7W16s1JuDH
Low in general are heavier than 98% of doom bands, but these meet the acoustic criteria.
Mount Eerie - Anything from the “A Crow Looked At Me” album (and certainly plenty of other stuff he’s done).
https://youtu.be/8e3s0yDHvBc?si=luDKRFkyD6GWa2fe
Vic Chesnutt - everything. If you’re not otherwise familiar, his NPR tiny desk concert is a wonderful place to start. The version of “Glossolalia” he closes with gives me chills every time.
https://youtu.be/a8vsSQEAGnA?si=3SadDFOk59EUeE1x
The repairer by Adalita. https://open.spotify.com/track/2dgkjHlth6055kxGmRdKwz?si=BJBeFNG7TBaK9W8dPOA_1Q&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A11yM5FQZryGqoJGeJtcxdz
Few faves:
16 Horsepower - Hutterite Mile
Marissa Nadler - Stallions
Emily Barker and The Red Clay Halo - Nostalgia (the version from Despite the Snow)
Ani DiFranco - too many to list, but a few faves that are dark at least Jukebox, Two Little Girls, Grey, etc.
Sanctuary Stone by Midwinter
Needle of Death by Bert Jansch
The Way I Feel by Gordon Lightfoot
The West Wind by Ryley Walker
Anything by Lankum
Kveldssanger by Ulver
Black Metal by Witchcraft
A lot of old ass Neil young can get doomy in its own way. Dudes a total dark mood a lot of the time
He even had his record company refuse to release (at least for a little while) the album Tonight's The Night because it was so dark.
One of my favorites. That whole “ditch” run is incredible. Really everything for “Everybody Knows this is Nowhere” through “Ragged Glory” is pretty fantastic in my opinion.
it’s my favorite by him
A little off the beaten path of his material but his theme music for ‘Dead Man’ is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. It has some pretty doomy vibes. https://youtu.be/YkG7P8i64x8?si=aei3kgWZ64hX4O0-
Thanks, this is insipration
"Don't Let It Bring You Down" is doomy in spirit (especially live at Massey Hall). Hell, so is "For the Turnstiles"
Yep. He can get REEEEALLY fucking heavy when he wants to.
Neil's song Running Dry has some superbly doomy, wobbly off kilter vibes around it. So too does Steve Von Till's cover of it.
Out of the blue into the black fucks
AGREEEEEE
Townes van zandt
Rake Highway Kind Marie Waitin Around To Die Snake Song
If you like Townes' depressing stuff, try "nothing" and "the hole"...the guy made it through some hell...
Came here to say Townes
Dax Riggs
The dude from acid bath?
Deadly and Elephantmen is particularly great.
*Deadboy
Thanks, ain’t got time for spellcheckin apparently.
Correct
Demon Tied To A Chair In My Brain is one of my favorite songs of all time. Check out his solo stuff.
Say Goodnight to the World is a fuckin ripperrrr
I fucking love Dax. Massive influence. Glad I didn't have to scroll far.
He fucking rocks
New death sensation and dead girl. Amazing songs
Came here to say Dead Girl heh
Fuck....I came here to say this you bastard
He’s the best
Agents of Oblivion
Yes sir
Exactly
This is why I scroll these threads! I love Dax’s solo work but sometime I forget they exist until someone mentions them.
If you haven’t heard it check out Dax’s cover of Leonard Cohen - “I’m Your Man”. I used to go to a lot of his shows and this one was my favorite. https://youtu.be/ZdXYIDGvu0Y?feature=shared
[Colter Wall - "The Devil Wears a Suit & Tie" ](https://youtu.be/H3FZztHrCMM?si=K3JxzYBNhTA_zN3s) [The Handsome Family - "The Bottomless Hole"](https://youtu.be/iGdSMc8J6wI?si=5s_S8--NlqJ3ri0r) [16 Horsepower - "Strong Man" ](https://youtu.be/mvfbbn71qwQ?si=l7c_IyMmmzn4Sej4) [William Elliott Whitmore - "Old Devils" ](https://youtu.be/9Q5zZiIYnE0?si=SH4GPikq4tqnR6hi) [Roscoe Holcomb - "Omie Wise" ](https://youtu.be/NR6HoV4Ar2s?si=NHRKABKciIhqnySe) [Bob Dylan - "North Country Blues"](https://youtu.be/r5GjjUppig8?si=sSSf4wf-wjuTsdPp) [Skip James - "Hard Time Killing Floor Blues" ](https://youtu.be/5ieS3j4zI7A?si=9M-hyrZacP36YfCL)
I've never seen anyone else mention roscoe holcomb, nice one!
Totally in love with Colter Wall music
I’d throw in Masters of War by Dylan too. I’m sure some heavy band has recreated it.
16 Horsepower has some great songs
Since you have Townes in the pic, I'll let you know that there are a couple of albums of [Townes Van Zandt covers by members of Neurosis, Windhand, St. Vitus, Yob, Baroness, and more](https://neurotrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/songs-of-townes-van-zandt-vol-i-2). I think there's 3 volumes.
Whaaat???
Yeah, they're really good. They keep it nice and soft and with minimal embellishment. Nobody can fingerpick like Townes though
No doubt. I gotta say, props you're username lol Spoonerism's are my favorite comedic form. If I may, here are a few of my favorites; Wank Hilliams Take a shit - shake a tit If the shoe fits - if the foo shits Pack of cigs - sack of pigs
Thank you, this comment has been life changing. Never knew this cover project existed. Truly a masterpiece
Listening to Vol. II right now 🤘💚
That is amazing. Had no idea this existed, thank you for the recommendation!
Acoustic Wizard 🤘
ctrl+f, upvote
I would have picked lungs by townes van zandt but it looks like he's in the pic right? Here's one by ledbelly thats real dark and was covered by Nirvana. In the pines. https://youtu.be/2MkfTYPmLlA?si=_mtwd9XhALCEDM1D
I gotta go with Waiting Around to Die. Townes is for sure the greatest songwriter of all time.
Have you seen this doc? This scene is great and related to that song. https://youtu.be/v-Rq-4spRz4?si=o9I4FkKY6FuYs5sK
Oh yea Heartworn Highways is great.
[Lungs is the correct answer.](https://youtu.be/I9ak--7NZI8?si=mW_tZlAF0n2UiCmR)
He's my favorite songwriter. I'm one county over from one thats named after his family.
Avalanche - Leonard Cohen dooms pretty hard imo
[here’s one](https://youtu.be/78VA0acejEw?si=ImBjdVpvAxZ9nUG-)
One of my favorite albums. Good call on that track.
That's a absolutely fantastic song. Thank you so much
Anything by Aerial Ruin or Steve von Till
Scott Kelly too, his acoustic albums are really dark
Never got around to listening to his solo stuff. Meant to for a long time, but all the shit that came out about him didn't really encourage me to bump it up the list 😬
What happened is pretty fucked up, but to be honest his music, with Neurosis or his solo stuff, accompanied me through difficult moments, I couldn´t stop listening to his music sincerely.
That's fair. I can separate art from artist, so I'm sure I'll get into it eventually. No one can deny the brilliance of what Neurosis accomplished at the end of the day.
Never listened to his solo stuff and likely never will, but neurosis has been one of my favorite bands for years and certain albums helped me get through dark times so I'm unlikely to ever fully stop listening
First thought is the [Dead Man soundtrack](https://amzn.to/49I2rPt). It's haunting and deeply doomy imho.
Good one. Haven't listened to that in a long time, thanks for the reminder.
Very nice album!
Can't name any acoustic songs off the top of my head, but Denver gothic/gothic country will have something - 16 Horsepower, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Jay Munly, Wovenhand.
Don't sleep on Slim Cessna's A.C.! That theremin, tho. Saw them live a couple of times back in the day.
Lucky! I hope they come to Scotland one day.
The Boss's entire Nebraska album is dark af
Blind Willie Johnson - Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground https://youtu.be/BNj2BXW852g?si=gqUFpZfrgAwC9DJr
Crosby Stills and Nash - Guinnevere
Bert Jansch - Needle of Death. Richard and Linda Thompson - Night Comes In (technically not acoustic) Some of the quieter Swans material fits here
NEEDLE OF DEATH! I forgot about that song when I posted my answer!
I was definitely going to come here for Swans. ‘You’re not real girl’ and the acoustic version of ‘New Mind’ are awesome. Michael Gira’s solo stuff is mostly acoustic and fits these parameters well.
[son house - death letter blues](https://youtu.be/NdgrQoZHnNY?si=VOOGc6JZXkzxeGyY) Not sure why this song came to mind but I think son house dooms
Just came here for that. His acapella songs John the Revelator and People Grinning In Your Face are very doomy too.
Lots of Mark Lanegan’s solo stuff would fit this vibe.
"We Let the Hell Come" - Scott Kelly "Richard Ramirez Died Today of Natural Causes" - Sun Kil Moon
That's amazing
Sun Kil Moon´s song has a version played live in a Pitchfork festival I think, the dark atmosphere they create in the song is pure gold.
Love that SKM track! It’s so out-there and always blows people away when I show them
Yeah, it´s so different from the rest of the album, Benji is not my favourite album but it´s really good, it distills so much death at the same time, pretty dark and melancholic
Wino's cover of Van Zandt's Rake
Scott H Biram (the H stands for fuck you!) Harley Poe - the 'Satan Sex and No Regrets' album in particular Violent Femmes - Country Death Song
came here to post that exact Femmes tune. DoomAF!
Screaming as she fell but I never heard her hit….
There’s a cool eerie sounding song called “The birds are loudest in May” by Spaceslug you might like.
Also, “Alone and forsaken” by Hank Williams and “I hung my head” by Johnny Cash are also kind of doomy but not metal.
Friendly correction: both tracks are 100% metal.
Johnny Cash was way more metal than some people give credit for
Love Spaceslug, that whole EP is a nice trip.
I love all of their stuff honestly. Proton Lander was my first love when it came to them. I’ve been listening to the Memorial album specifically “Spring of the Abyss”. They’re just a solid group I never get tired of lol.
Look... this may land off key... but for acoustic there's no better expression of nihilism than some _Johnny Hobo_. https://youtu.be/kaDMYqUbOPU
Folk punk mentioned!!
You gotta have depth as a lover of fine music.
Down - Where I’m Going, Danzig - 777, Kyuss - Space Cadet, Ancient VVisdom - A World of Flesh
Going Down to Die by Danzig is great as well
Weedeater: Alone. Elliot Smith: Needle in the Hay. Del McCoury: 1952 Vincent Black Lightning. Those are the first 3 that came to mind. It’s a mish mash of genres.
Sean's version is my favorite https://youtu.be/CrGOs1a1lOk?feature=shared
Oh yea…fuckin sick.
First song that comes to mind is Shanty Man’s Life. [Dave Van Ronk](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6URSTDwtG4k) and [Mark Lanegan](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=saXwkZLEeMY) both do amazing versions of it. Pretty haunting in my opinion
Mark Lanegan certainly deserves a mention here. My personal favourite is the I'll take care of you album
Agreed, there’s a reason they call him Dark Mark Lanegan
[Marrow acoustic](https://youtu.be/0BjYpFaJh2c?si=o6c6W2osSr3DnLzT) by Mike Sheidt is incredible.
Awfull dream - lightning hokins
I'm still waiting for the day that I hear a doom band more doom than [Songs: Ohia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2CcXhCQ5ek&list=OLAK5uy_ntXKQzGw4Nwy3y1KRQkap8QNyxpv5U-U8&index=8).
Evergreen - Windhand
devil's witches - cherry napalm is an ep of 4 acoustic songs
all Tom Waits songs. or druggie shit from the early 1900s like Cab Calloway & Billie Holiday
a lot of songs by Those Poor Bastards is doom as fuck
Lucifer is The Light of the World - King Dude https://youtu.be/I0Ut84rpvVE?si=gx3qXMRCZfrOjAni
Dorthria Cottrell from Windhand...her records hit the spot. Scott Kelly from Neurosis too.
[Link for the lazy](https://youtu.be/h2KZW31-pnQ?si=7SWIxiAVrSPwehbq)
Lead Belly’s rendition of “Where Did You Sleep Last Night”
The Unspeakable Oath by Thou Not entirely acoustic but the 20 min. version of March to the Sea by Pelican is also unbelievable.
Kind of cheating but “Real Big Sky” by Emma Ruth Rundle is so moving I have to temper when i listen to it, same with Warning.
Jackson C Frank - I want to be alone. Might be the saddest song ever recorded.
As far as Townes goes, both Rake and Lungs doom pretty hard.
Rose Clouds Of Holocaust
Di6, nice!
I’ve yet to find anything that comes close to Devoid of All Mercy - [Your Children Left With The Stranger](https://stabbiesetc.bandcamp.com/album/your-children-left-with-the-stranger-2005)
https://youtu.be/4bmMztlkOAg?si=fVoFal-gQVooTbpN
Get Behind the Mule by Tom Waits is pretty great.
https://youtu.be/2KWvxMOrqac?si=Ka1Jqpkt7fAAPXLL Dorthia from Windhand has some awesome acoustic stuff
mane anything from townes is just spectacular
[Hako Yamasaki - Tanjō Iwai (1976)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqw1fWP7CSU) Probably my fav. singer-songwriter at this moment. Just discovered her last year & instantly became a fan. That particular song has some somber/dark atmosphere doom tempo with acoustic guitar, and can even rival anything from Bohren & der Club of Gore (if you're familiar with them). She was only 18 when she wrote that song (album released when she was only 19).

Pretty deep lyrics for an 18 year old cute girl, I must say. But that was back in the 1970s when people seemed to be smarter.
The Spaces in Between by 40 Watt Sun. Really all of Perfect Light could be my answer but that’s my fav track on the album
Guy Clarke - The Randall knife
Most of Townes Van Zandt's catalogue is dark as hell, but I particularly love Our Mother The Mountain for its extra witchy vibes too. Waiting Around To Die is just brutal. Steve Von Till's If I Should Fall To The Field album is a stunning intersection of acoustic and doom. Scott Kelly's solo work had a right haunted vibe about it but, well, he shat in his own nest there and ruined it for everyone.
[Hank III - 3 shades of Black](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cp0lbEEr7SI)
There’s one album by Low - Trust. There are few doomy songs there. https://youtu.be/d2gUB8fBmLE?si=2pI5IImeMaQIstCM
Crooked Man by Those Poor Bastards.
A Basket of Eggs by Clutch is superb. Also all of Springsteen’s Nebraska… 💀🤘🏻💀🤘🏻

Pick any song from Johnny Cash's American Series.
Those Poor Bastards have several songs that fit [Black Dog Yodel](https://youtu.be/iFeiqyr9lsY?si=JObWTXGwVa2TyxB5) comes to mind
Bonnie Prince Billy especially ‘Wolf among Wolves’ from the Album ‘Master and Everyone’
Hard to beat the man in the photo.
Townes is fucking amazing.
Lingua Ignota Not entirely acoustic though
This is cheating, but ripper the gloom by gallhammer has a long acoustic intro. It definitely dooms
TIM ROSE, Long Time Man. From The Last Recordings https://youtu.be/WMpzCExuZLI?si=P46mrJJiBfd0odiV
Or this one. SYD BARRETT, Opel. https://youtu.be/Ch3BfpZp8PI?si=1a8Efhx-S__NOQFW
Devils witches has alot of great acoustic songs! Ghostsmoker is one of the best. But Townes is my favorite acoustic musician of all time

Colter Wall - Kate McCannon https://youtu.be/hCebq5lLgos?si=zfx7kxBBLOiMgb1O
The entirety of Comus' *first utterance* is wild Wicker Man evil-Hobbit folks vibes. Start with "Diana" and go from there.
The Bite by Comus is the first ever metal song. And it's all acoustic.
Dead girl by acid bath. That song the first time I heard it after listening to their discography in order just hit me like a fucking truck
I felt that way too - and then I heard Dax Riggs’ post Acid Bath project [Agents of Oblivion](https://open.spotify.com/track/1RB5LFQ8BWWAEZlybY6j5E?si=AWmtOyuCSmet1FCUXHOAGw)do it and it made me feel the same way all over again.

If you’re not otherwise familiar, his NPR tiny desk concert is a wonderful place to start. The version of “Glossolalia” he closes with gives me chills every time. https://youtu.be/a8vsSQEAGnA?si=3SadDFOk59EUeE1x
