ITT: Post albums that never fail to frighten you.
>>55001809
Giles Corey frightens you?
it frightens me that people think this shit is good
>>55001866
yeah it does. I used to walk around my university at night when like no one was there, and I'd be listening to it and idk something about it really got to me.
Most of the album itself isn't scary, but the ending of A Beast Cage is terrifying. Sounded like a wall of noise at first,
but upon closer inspection, the "wall" was composed of people shrieking.
>>55001909
I could see that, I guess that album can be interpreted differently for everyone. It's helped me with my depression, not even kidding.
>>55001961
How so, if you don't mind.
>>55001961
same here. It is definitely a dark depressing album, but there is a lot of hope in it, at least that's what I get from it.
that and DC are perfect
>>55001809
I SCREAM, NO ONE HEARS ME! IT HURTS, NOT A LIAR! MY GOD, SAW YOU WATCH. MOMMY WHY, YOUR OWN CHILD!?!
Songs about child molestation aren't that pleasant.
>>55002372
It's a bit complicated. I guess it helps me come to terms with my emotions in a way, and let's me be able to think about those emotions in a healthy way.
>>55002507
I know, those self entitled faggot kids don't even know they deserve it
DON'T BE SO NAIVE HONEY
Man, this one made me really uncomfortable for the first 5 or 6 times listening to it, but it kept drawing me back regardless.
Now Locrian are one of my favorite groups.
>>55002692
Locrian never gets any love. Territories fucking weirds me out more than The Crystal World, but I think that might be because of the production.
This, from time to time. One of my favorite albums ever, but I when I listen to it in the darkness of my room, the only light the monitor of my pc, the walls bathing in reflection and the corners twisting and always becoming well, it's absolutely horrifying.
>>55002781
And I forgot the pic like the dumbass I am
Didn't sleep for a couple days after listening to this.
>>55002692
http://www.utechrecords.com/ in general
>>55002814
That's a feel good album depending on how you look at it
>>55002746
They deserve more attention, I agree. New album this year hopefully. Territories is a really uncomfortable burn too. But Antediluvian Territory is a top 5 Locrian song.
Their more drone/ambient stuff is awesome too.
>>55001866
You the op from the hell thread?
I also want to take this opportunity to say that Xiu Xiu is total shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUIKLV70_NY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFlUMQkH8gY
I used to listen to so many dark/ambient/horror artists. now I've forgotten them all. fuck.
The whole discography by them. It gives me the chills.
>>55001809
I remember shitting my pants first time I heard that moment on the first song. You know the part.
>>55004455
him slamming on the keys?
>>55002409
Really? I find Deathconsciousness to be relaxing and soothing rather than frightening
The first time I heard the opening track I was laying alone in the dark trying not to look at the album cover and it was terrifying
That song still creeps me out
>>55004762
yup
I listened to this in bed in complete darkness during a very emotionally intense night and it was not the best idea.
>>55004871
I think Dead Goon used to scare me the most. Except now it's my favourite song of all time.
>>55003247
Naw, just their vocals.
I listened to this while exhausted and with a headache... didn't know what i was getting into
>>55004455
i found the 'voices of unknown origin' part much more unsettling
Maybe this has been posted already.. Does anyone know the album where they allegedly recorded a group of mental patients going to town on an abandoned building with sledgehammers whilst screaming their lungs out? Something like that, at least. I can't remember the name of it.
This thread is full of exaggerating faggots that just want to get people to listen to albums they like.
None of these are frightening whatsoever.
horrifying
>>55006139
what frightens you
>>55005896
Yeah, that's definitely the worst Current 93 album. I found Dogs Blood Rising to be a lot more enjoyable.
>>55002814
My nigga. I'd never heard my exact thoughts described so well until I found this.
>>55006268
There's no music that frightens me.
>>55006340
you're lying
https://youtu.be/Ed4-toY3G1A?t=25m43s
/thread
A bit unsettling but doesn't really frighten me. Mostly because i love drone and dark ambient.
But might frighten some people i guess
>>55001809
Is it weird that I find Giles Corey s/t relaxing in an "I'm sick of this world so I'm going to shut it out and not care about anything" way?
>>55006400
No. Why the fuck would music ever frighten you?
Even the darkest of dark drone and ambient music makes me melancholic at most.
Coil.
Doesn't really matter what album, just Coil.
>>55002570
It's darling
You blew it.
>there was a funny smell
>>55002814
Dogs Blood Rising, Nature Unveiled, Live at Bar Maldoror, and Imperium are far more unsettling.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8wlLL-8WDY
>>55005896
THE SUN WENT BLACK
THE MOON IS RED
MALDOROR IS DEAD
>>55001909
Ha, I used to do the same thing with Deathconsciousness. Just pop my headphones in and walk around at like 3 AM after a night out if I was feeling depressed. Definitely gets pretty eerie.
>>55001895
>mfw this was literally all I used to to listen to when I was a kid
>even downloaded the videos so I could watch them on the bus rides to schoo
l>I knew every bing, bop, and woop by heart and would sometimes sing along
>people probably thought I was weird as fuck but I didn't care because I was happy
i've heard this one is scary but can't find a download link
>>55005607
I forgot about this.
Its really scary when listened to correctly. When you close your eyes you feel as though there is something in the room.
>>55006759
I used to love it too. Remember listening to music for enjoyment?
>>55006865
>When you close your eyes you feel as though there is something in the room.
>mfw this is literally how I felt
I remember it felt like a monster was standing in the room and I was waiting for it to grab me.
>>55003247
ur a pleb
>>55006472
fuck
I only listened once it was too spooky for me
>>55001866
best horror album, Black One is in my top 10 of all time

>>55006759
is this a rare pepe
>>55005462
yes
>>55006290
>the worst Current 93 album
Christ and the Pale Queens is much worse, NU is actually one of his best.
>>55007701
Don't be talking shit about Christ and the Pale Queens
Everything after '97 is shit
>>55007701
So wrong
>>55007797
>Everything after '97 is shit
Even more wrong.
Jesus, I'm disappointed in both of you.
>>55007797
Well I hate that album, it's too long and his words alone backed by uninteresting music aren't enough to make it good.
Let's be honest here, do you actually sit through Mighty in Sorrow for 18 minutes?
>>55007918
>liking aging Tibet gasping out pretentious garbage lyrics to minimal recycled instrumentals with Baby Dee
hmm
>>55007970
Yes actually. I love that loop. It's good for reading, browsing, or just doing nothing. I like the medieval sound of the record. I get where you're coming from, but I think it's still an atmospheric record. One of my favorites.
>>55007971
>pretentious garbage
>black ships ate the sky
>birth canal blues
>i am the last of the field that fell
Consider suicide
Inhale has some fuckt up scary shit.
Just listen to Breathing Water.

Bandcamp album link.
http://inhale.bandcamp.com/album/the-buckling-of-hopes-and-dreams
This album right here. Creepiest vocals I done ever heard.
>>55006987
Pretty much came here to post this
>>55002814
i've had weird experiences listening to this album, but the most ominous was when, after listening to this album, i immediately got news of my friends death. this is obviously fallacious, but i couldn't help but feel an association between the two
>>55001866
I used to fall asleep to Giles Corey. Empty churches is fucking scary
>>55007193
>>55006987
>mfw Blixa Bargeld dated her
I wonder what was it kind
>>55010496
eh not really. Just sounds kind of like a downtempo DJ shadow track or something
>>55001866
Sunn is kind of warm and fuzzy sometimes though
I've fallen asleep to Black One
The whole album is creepy, but the fucking jumpscare in There Isn't Anything made me jump up and spill my drink the first time I heard it. You're so zoned out due to the ambient part before it, then it hits you. Now every time I hear it I'm just anxiously awaiting it.
>>55001809
why scariest? i heard this and nothing happen, what kind of music scare somebody? really, i dont get it...
>>55002814
One of my favorite pieces by Current 93 but jesus christ Birth Canal Blues is spooky for a 4 track album.
>>55006865
>when listened to correctly
how is this album correctly listened to?
>>55011764
The sample scared the shit out of me. Idk... I am le pussy face
>>55012091
it's atmospherically scary not startlingly scary. it's about setting an ominous mood not making you jump out of your chair like>>55011985
>>55012217
i give it a try again, thanks anon
>>55012102
I WILL MURDER YOU
I spent an acid trip listening to C93 and watching the Exorcist at this movie theater in my town.
I was a foolish, foolish man.
I think this is the only album to legitimately unsettle me and make me feel uncomfortable, that I can remember anyway
>im scared of soundwaves
>>55002814
Fuck, I just saw a shape move in the shadows 8 minutes into this. Nothing like a nice panic attack.
>>55012469
>i hate fun
>>55005607
>>55006865
stumbled into the lecture that was sampled in the second song. it was pretty weird to hear him and guess where I know that voice from
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiaD95TMWR8
>>55006165
very funny
plus to you fellow comedian

Maybe we should make a chart?

>>55012562
>>55002814
I just listened to this for 3 hours straight
>>55014200
fun times
>>55014459
Hella times
Public Castration is also pretty scary, but I think this has a great atmosphere, plus dominating lyrics really affect me
spooky
most of board of canada. maybe I'm a pussy but the tracks give me goosebumps.
>>55001809
Giles Corey is more depressing than scary though. I don't really deal in scary stuff but Giles Corey is one of my favorite albums I've ever heard.
>>55012798
this is just edgy, power electronics aresn't scary
>>55004871
Good album, it gave me the creeps on the first listen.
>>55001866
the vocals in Bathory Erzsebet used to spook me so bad
>>55002814
is this too patrician for me
i dont get, it makes me feel uneasy purely for the fact i feel like a loud clatter is about to happen
>>55015152
read the lyrics along as you listen
>>55015173
I did, perhaps i didn't perceive it correctly.
Is the "special plan" pretty much like the Human Instrumentality Project from Neon genesis evangalion
sorry for the anime reference, but it seemed oddly similar to the way i understood it. If not what is the "special plan"?
>>55014353
This
>>55015278
I always thought it was just supposed to be suicide but I guess you could interpret it like Instrumentality.
>>55001872
pls respond...
>>55014311
spookycore chart seems like a thing that should already exist, but it doesn't for some reason
Trist-Hin/Fort has some really weird parts. Also Transformalin by Diagnose: Lebesneahsdfioashgaehrioaehf (don't feel like spelling today)
Also nobody has ever heard of this album, but Gigantic Brain-You Did This To Me is bandcamp grindcore and it's creepy as hell
>pic related, the title track has a different album art and the subsequent tracks are this creepy ass fuckstick. Scared the shit out of me the first time I unlocked my ipod and looked at it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5Jk--LkHms
>>55002814
Fantastic
I've actually never been able to listen past the second iteration of the title track
>>55006759
I used to shit on people who listened to crazy frog. I guess I was born for this place.
when I was 11, I bought the ozzman cometh, an ozzy comp that had 2 sabbath songs at the beginning, black sabbath and war pigs. I used to fall asleep listening to music all the time, so I put the cd in and skipped right to mr. crowley and went to sleep.
somehow I had put the album on repeat all, so at like 3 in the morning, I woke up to the big crescendo in black sabbath when ozzy screams "please god help me" and I think I pissed myself and started crying.
I really like that song now though.
this made me jump, it's a little comedic at times, but crank it up loud enough, and let the rage flow. but i guess it's for people who are scared only of themselves.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMxvWn7P_v8
>>55016625
thank you for introducing this to me.
>>55006759
i had a friend over and we found the axel f video on a website and we loved it so much we went outside to another friends house to tell him about but once we were there none of us wanted to ring the doorbell so we just sat on his driveway petting his cat
>>55002692
this album was made by satan himself
>>55004871
The music video is awesome and creepy as hell, too.
>>55012190
You lie down in your bed in a completely dark room (or have something covering your eyes) and move as little as possible. If done correctly, there is a chance that you will enter a trance or have an out of body experience.
>>55012765
Isn't it from some university lecture on death? The professor from the class has quite a few books out about death.
>>55006082

Here you go.
>>55019557
not even samefagging, this shit is correct
What is the scariest Swans album? (I'm making the chart)
The Seer or SftB? Or maybe Filth?
It's so merciless. A grueling listen.
giles corey is a lot more freakier if you read Dan's blog around the time he was writing songs. He was seriously in a fucked up place.

Dread Magnificence... is too unfocused, ...Mort Triomphante is a masterful work true but not as frightening as pic related or Rend each other...
>>55006565
are you a poopy puffer?
I listen to a lot of spooky stuff but for some reason the ambient tracks on Old Man Gloom's stuff makes me really unsettled
>>55008100
this
>>55007971
>hurr i don't get it
>must be bad lol
>>55014186
This one is definitely more sad than scary. Now Dawn and Live at Bar Maldoror, those are scary.
>>55006759
>>55006759
i laughed out loud irl
>>55015023
>the vocals in Bathory Erzsebet used to spook me so bad
I think the guy who did it (Xasthur or something I think) is claustrophobic, so they locked him in a coffin before recording those screams. They're legitimate screams of terror.
>>55015278
The "special plan" is the destruction of everything that exists, implicitly through suicide. You really have to be a borderline suicidal solipsist or nihilist to really feel it, so that's why that song is so close to me.
>>55005462
Seconded
>>55020971
The live rendition of Coward messes me up man
>>55014675
It gives me the same feeling that I get when I have a memory from my childhood surface. For me it's not exactly fear, but sadness that I can't go back, and an uncomfortable feeling that all my memories are faded and distorted.
>>55005896
Does anyone know where the "voices of unknown origin" was sampled from?
>>55002527
I agree. Deathconsciousness is sadder than Giles Corey because I feel like Giles Corey is affirmation of depression and it presents depression as a part of life but not a dominate force in life, if that makes sense?
>>55005607
I want to take 170mg(1mg/lbs) of ketamine, lay in a dark room and listen to this album. It freaks me out sober but it would be really intense on k.
>>55023036
Nice teenage YouTube commenter defense
>>55023125
I find Dawn like In Menstrual Night in that it feels more cheery than anything (other than the later added Maldoror est Mort of course). Bar Maldoror is genuinely unsettling though.
>>55023863
I was being sarcastic FYI.
Giles Corey just makes me sad
>>55023959
The only scary song in this album is the second one, and it isn't really scary after several listens, just loud.
MY WALL MY WALL MY WAAAALL
i cant even remeber which white album it's on but both are spooky shit
>>55024023
It's the first track on White 1. Indeed spooky shit. Great album.
Also, why is there not more Nurse With Wound ITT? It's the perfect music for this type of thread.
all of these albums are just generic dark ambient and found sounds

Abandon scared the shit out of me when I first listened to it
>>55027196
Great atmosphere. Green Amulet is the only release that I think is unsettling to a degree though. A very cool experience to go out late at night and walk in the woods to.
One of my favorite albums ever.
>>55016625
this album feels like what it would be like to be an old person with alzheimers and days left to live.
fuckin amazing
This is like a /dark/ thread without the shitty modern goth bands. I like it.
Anyway, I remember feeling really uncomfortable while listening to pic related's second track from the second disc.
Sounded like field recordings from insane people + noise. Really unsettling, and this is coming from a guy who listened to all of the industrial/noise stuff posted here so far.
>>55030936
Sadly, there isn't any samples.
And this thing is also pretty scary,
