I love classical and rock music, I've always liked rock music that is dark/melancholic/eerie, like bands such as Joy Division, The Chameleons, Echo and The Bunnymen, King Crimson, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Smiths, etc...etc.
Can you recommend me some composers whose works are dark/melancholic/eerie and the name of the works?
Thanks everyone.

Glad you mentioned Opeth !!! Damnation is awesome as well as any of the four albums by Agalloch !!!
Try some dark ambient groups like Lull, Hammock, Aghast ( very dark), Jon Hopkins, Ulrich Schnauss for now !
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!

If you are looking for "dark" classical music, you just have to look around. There are many composers who have done dark pieces. Overall, Wagner was pretty "dark" in many of his works.
Here is one I think you all would really enjoy. It certainly contains that "dark" element and is a great classical piece. It is The Rite of Spring by Stravinsky.

I like the Stravinsky. I don't listen to much classical music, but I could swear I've heard it before. Either that or it reminds me of something.
