I think I misled, was just contributing a dark album while asking which other albums I should listen to in this category.
Already heard White Birch, and loved it, what else should I get into? Is there a flow chart for dark music?

No flowchart, since dark music is a broad term and it's mostly the dark aesthetic instead instead of a musical style. If you're completely new to post-punk/goth, Joy Division would be the obvious starting point. But as you've probably already heard them, see pic related.

>>68935976
I personally don't like them.

>>68936209
drone wasn't the right word. meant moreso long, slow songs with minimal vocals. love when emotion is carried through sound

>>68936209
Do you like Deathconsciousness too? I don't know much about slowcore, but I think it's influenced by more melodic post-punk. Check out The Cure's Faith and Pornography and Cocteau Twins' Head over Heels and Treasure if you haven't. Again, these are very popular bands so you've probably heard them.

>>68936448
I like Cocteau Twins but more of a fan of their dreamier "Four-Calendar Cafe"

Haven't listened to the Cure actually, although my family has probably played them around me before so I at least have second-hand experience

Still, I'll check out Head over Heels again and get some Cure going

it's not as dark as early Swans or Christian Death but I'd say it's up there with Bauhaus and Siouxsie

Has /mu/ ever listened to Homotopy To Marie (1982), an album by Nurse With Wound?

Here are some fun facts about the album:

-Homotopy to Marie is a rather dark/creepy noise/ambient album, and a good representative example of NWW's sound, where snippets of schmaltzy lounge music and field recordings of home appliances are juxtaposed against ominous vocal selections, and long periods of brooding, soft, dark noise.

-The album begins with an extremely harsh segment of noise, which sounds like a pile of glass and metal scraping together. This harsh opening noise cuts out at EXACTLY the three-minute mark, giving way to a much quieter segment of vocalizations, wailings, creepy smacking/eating noises, and an inscrutable sample of what sounds like a kabuki performance.

-Despite all of these audible voices, the first clearly discernable English-language lyric does not occur until EXACTLY the album's twelve-minute mark, on the next selection. In keeping with the album's mood, we hear voices of a little girl and a rather scold-y older woman saying ominous things, which repeats throughout the track.

-Once I recognized the above timing sequence (which I do not believe is coincidental in either case), I thought to check the album for other timing on its elements. I haven't noticed anything else special, but there we have it.

cont.

-Nurse With Wound was originally three guys, but the group had put out four other records before Homotopy To Marie. However at this point in the group's history, everyone apart from Steven Stapleton had left, and so HTM is effectively a solo Steven Stapleton record, under the NWW name, with Stapleton having recorded and cut everything together. Stapleton was never quite satisfied with the first few NWW records, and so since it's his project before it's anyone else's, he is on record as saying that HTM is the first "real" NWW album, although in fact it is the fifth one.

-The album is dedicated to Franz Kamin, an avant-garde American composer who died in a car crash (slamming into a tree) about six years ago. The topology-related word in the album's title seems to have been vaguely inspired by Kamin's working method, which apparently sometimes references topology, having musical/lyrical elements repeat in loops, etc. This notion would seem to be of a piece with tape loops etc. I'm about 80% sure that I've located the very tree where the crash happened, based on reading obits. IMO this only adds to the album's edgy/creepy cred.

-Part of why Stapleton has a high opinion of the album is both because he was doing things his own way, and also because the fourth album just before, Insect and Individual Silenced, was famously hated and disowned by him for many years. Recently, Stapleton has had a sort of "reconciliation" with that album, and has made it available for purchase again. It is a much harsher album, even by NWW standards.

NWW has a huge/confusing discography, but part of what's nice about this early period is that it is still possible to identify "the first record", "the second record", and so on. This starts to break down at some point during the 80s/90/00s, because of the volume and different attributions of material, and because they're not mass-produced.

If you should try this album and like it, I would also recommend "Merzbild Schwet", the third album.
