I know I do.
And because I do, I've started a music-trading community on LiveJournal, called
aural shadows.
We run the gamut here--AS does not restrict to a single genre as so many music trading boards do, but instead we follow a theme.
As long as the music is dark, disturbing, eerie, evokes feelings of isolation, solitude, sadness, horror or desolation--it's more than welcome.
Be it black metal or electronica, ambient or avant-garde, industrial or experimental, noise or haunting ballads, all dark music is welcome to be contributed and requested at
aural shadows.
If you have a LiveJournal, you can join the community and jump right in. The link is (
http://community.livejournal.com/auralshadows/).
Come visit us. <3

hmm, thanks for reminding me to amend the rules to state that emo is not welcome.

Might peek at it eventually. Cheers.

Linkin Park is emo?
"dark, eerie, disturbing music" is what I would call gothic, which is confused with emo.
Good Luck basically.
READ-THE-THREAD-AGAIN EDIT: No Emo? On LIVEJOURNAL?

AxTng1's got a point: isn't Evanescence considered 'gothic'? I'd say it's pretty emo, too. 'Emo gothic', maybe. So, er, no?

I like it enough to have bought Chris Vrennas soundtrack to the American McGee's Alice game, but overall I think that stuff works better with accompanying visuals.

Best describing category for Evanescence is "Utter shite" I believe.

What? They certainly do not belong to the 'utter shite' category. That's what Cradle of Filth is for.
Evanescence's level of overblown, pretentious, electropoprock goth gloom doodle wankery needs a category all its own.
Anyway, I'm trying to think of one song that encompasses most of the themes that AFiH outlined, and apart from the usual stuff by NiN and The Cure and others, I think Peter Gabriel's 'Darkness' pretty much fits the bill.
