So which of these slightly dark artists appeals to you the most?

Well, Arcana isn't really that dark, but I do like them alot. Sephiroth would have to be my favorite out of the 5 definitely. I love Ulf Soderberg's material. Let's just say I have all of it

I would have to say Lustmord, Desiderii Marginis, Letum, Lithivm or Coph Nia are darker than all 5 of them, but that's just my opinion.

I will have to check those out. And also, yeah I didn't think they sounded all that dark to begin with, hence the itle " The Slightly Dark Poll"

Damn, Letum is good. I quickly downloaded the cd - The Entrance to salvation. Hehehe... our connection was over 100kbs. per second.

yeah, I think you'd like Desiderii Marginis as well. Just check out the whole Cold Meat Industry crew...

I started downloading cds from all the ones you suggested. Thanks! Good stuff judging by the stuff that finished already.

also try Raison D'etre, Bocksholm, Panzar, Grismannen, Necrophorus, Stratvm Terror or Svasti-Ayanam [all projects of Peter Andersson (not the one from Deutsch Nepal)]

I'm most partial to Sephiroth.

wow, it's a miracle. Me and Kate agree on something dark

Another vote for Sephiroth.
