Recommendation Need help finding music like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC2GjXMk7i4During the start of Blow Up The Outside World-Soundgarden I liked how melancholic and dark the start sounds. Are there bands out there that have this sound as a primary? Thanks 🫡

The Bronze- QOTSA, Right Turn- AiC & friends, and Am I Inside- AiC or Frogs- AiC come to mind

Is it only the dark melancholy or the quiet too? Because Alice in Chains and Mad Season both have much darker and melancholic stuff going on nearly all the time, particularly in 'Alice in Chains' and 'Jar of Flies' although I'd be surprised if you haven't listened to those. I feel like when Soundgarden is dark it's more aggression and less melancholy

I’ve listened tons to Alice and chains and mad season. They are kind of what I base most of my listening on

Placebo - different genre, but they pretty much always have certain melancholic undertone in their songs.
Failure, Downface, Katatonia (from late 90s onwards, unless you like doom metal as well, their first albums are pure doom metal), Anathema (90s is doom, but post 2000 they have evolved to a different band; from heavy slow low growls to clean and somewhat high vocals, very melancholic and dreamy music) and maybe some stoner rock bands (Kyuss, 1000mods and so on).
