A release of emotional tension, as after an overwhelming experience, that restores or refreshes the spirit.

great picks Valor+Shikari, I really enjoyed Pure As Snow and Kid606's stuff.

Honestly, Metal(core)/Alternative/(pop)punk are cathartic for me, so I tend to listen to stuff like this when I need it.

Alice In Chains - Stone

Animals As Leaders - An Infinite Regression

Protest the Hero - Drumhead Trial

Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache

Killswitch Engage - In Due Time

Been listening to this for the last few days after work.

**Xayphon** · 01-23-2014, 09:22 PM

I'm way too dependant on "cathartic music"

Uyama Hiroto - Climbed Mountains

Pogo - Wishery

Pogo - Tunnels (Howl's Moving Castle Remix)

Lone - To Be With a Person That You Really Dig

goreshit - when the cicadas cry

TOKiMONSTA - In The Mist

Pyongyang Hardcore Resistance - Resistance 4

JIM - Flore

Monster Rally and RUMTUM - Free Store

Madwreck - Survival Got Me Bugging

MF Love - Veranda Blues

**Crazyjayde** · 01-23-2014, 11:41 PM

Ugh, Utabi, Mono and JIM are definitely keepers.
I like whoever posted Hrvatski, it's interesting to hear from this artist in another point of view. And as always, nice selection Ez.

Anyway, most people see these two songs as being too predictable/bland, but I think they've had the most lasting appeal out of everything I heard in the past:

Explosions in the Sky - First Breath After Coma

Grandaddy - Jed's Other Poem

**adlp** · 01-23-2014, 11:44 PM

this fits really well/

this is my favorite band and they are incredible for wayyyy too many reasons

Spenner · 01-23-2014, 11:59 PM

Lichen is what first came to mind before viewing the OP, nice choice.

Another is Rhubarb by Aphex Twin

^To me this is one of the saddest songs ever. It captures the mood of a truly lost depressed state. Yet at the same time I feel like it's very cleansing aswell.

Bvdub - Gone Tomorrow

Gas - Pop 4

Though, my all time favourite,

Secede - Born in a tropical swamp

Another nice one...
Gas - Zauberberg 1

**Dynam0** · 01-24-2014, 05:53 AM

Tour de Japon - Main Theme of Final Fantasy VII

Chopin - Grande Polonaise Brillante, Op. 22

start at ~4:45 mark

Aphex Twin - Ziggomatic 17

**Cavernio** · 01-24-2014, 10:14 AM

I'm not sure I like any music that isn't cathartic, but I figured these seemed to fit.

Kow Otani - The Farthest Land

Necros - Ascent of the Cloud Eagle

Stephen Chatman - In Flanders Fields

Eric Prydz - Pjanoo

Benjamin Britten - Harp Interlude from a Ceremony of Carols

**Cavernio** · 01-24-2014, 12:08 PM

I bought a book years ago written by a prof whose research is figuring out why people like music. I don't think I ever made it past chapter 2. I really want to read it...I bought it with the intention of possibly contacting him to do a master's or phd. It seemed incredibly encompassing and very deep...exploring how expectation changes emotions and how music affects that as well as all the nitty-gritty music theory aspects of it all. With his own research, of course.

Whenever I stopped it was because I had to think about the premise of the experiments that were being described, see if I agreed with the explanations of the outcomes. I always got side-tracked and never even made it into the meat of the book.

**noname219** · 01-24-2014, 12:08 PM

Good call on Rhubarb. A lot of post-rock bands seem to fit the cathartic label too. Also, classical and modern film composers. As well as a bunch of ambient and progressive artists.

Here are some, gonna use links, not to overload the page :

Anathema - Hindsight
BT - Good Morning Kaia
Clint Mansell - Together We Will Live Forever (the whole soundtrack fits the description)
The Evpatoria Report - Dipole Experiment
Girls - Vomit
God Is an Astronaut - All Is Violent, All Is Bright
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Motherfucker=Redeemer (Part Two)
John Murphy - In the House - In a Heartbeat
Kayo Dot - The Manifold Curiosity (in a different way)
Oceansize - The Frame
Portishead - Roads
Pure Reason Revolution - Bullits Dominae
Sigur Ros - Popplagio
Ulver - The Future Sound of Music

If I was to chose a top 5, I would pick those bolded.

**xVaLoRx** · 01-26-2014, 06:32 AM

I rly dont want this to die already so bumping with a few more songs

kid606 - I Think I'm Alone Now

Squarepusher - Goodnight Jade

Cex - Am I Soundboy

**Cavernio** · 01-27-2014, 03:20 PM

The entire Last Samurai soundtrack. Listening that start to finish is like running an emotional marathon.
