As an extreme metal head, I have to say metal has never disturbed me. Even noise doesn’t disturb me. The music that genuinely has struck fear into my heart has been avant-grade/outsider music like Diamanda Galas and early Current 93 albums. Also, the dark ambient of Velehentor is worth checking out.

Lingua Ignota's discography is unnerving and harrowing, worth a listen

this channel has a real old school youtube feel and i dig it. good work bruv

Mommy and Daddy by Whitehouse follows the sexual abuse topics that Peter Sotos like so much in his artistic output (he also writes about that, the guy is pretty messed up). After listening to this record I got a morbid curiosity about Soto's work but I didn't go much further down that rabbit hole unless I wanted to loose my soul. Masami Akita has also a morbid bascination with seppoku and hara kiri, which is translated in some of his performances. Scott Walker is one of a kind. Maybe Lingua Ignota in Caligula comes close. but, I don't know. Also Diamanda Galás could come close.

The streetlight to my left flickers for a few moments and then deserts me. Ash grey clouds seal off the sky, ensuring that God will not be able to see what I am about to do She lives in a small, one-story house on the corner with her mother, who works the graveyard shift at the hospital and won't be home for another four hours. Her sleek blue sedan sits crooked and lonely in the driveway. A bed of neglected roses wait patiently for the sunrise. Her bedroom glows gently like a firefly and I can see her sexless, heroin form moving behind the drawn curtains. She is animated and gesturing wildly with her left arm. Probably talking on the phone She used to make me think of beautiful things like waterfalls and wildflowers, deer frolicking in the snow. Now I can only think of autopsies and taxidermy, mummified Egyptian princesses. I remember how she used to shiver when I would toy with her nipple ring. I remember how she used to keep mouthwash by her bed, scared of her kisses tasting like cigarettes. I remember a white rabbit strung up between two trees, gutted and left to rot I start whisper-singing the Pixies "Debaser" to myself And glance over at the bolt cutters. They are lying on the floor in a puddle of congealed blood and bone splinters. Two of my left toes and all of my left fingers are piled in the open glove box. Seven digits, one for each day we've been apart. I take two more Vicodins and light up another cigarette. Then I wrap some fresh gauze around my hand.

The most disturbing SONG I’ve ever heard has to be “Strange Fruit” by Nina Simone. Just everything about the song. Knowing how she was involved in fighting against exactly what the song was about, the brutal reality that the lyrics portray, how viscerally detailed those lyrics are, all with how beautifully she sings it. It’s a Billie Holiday song, but it’s Nina who drives it into my soul.

"How Welcome Is Death To I Who Have Nothing More To Do But Die" by CON-DOM is probably one of the most disturbing albums I've ever listened to. The main theme is death but not in an abstract or poetic way. You have to go through the process of dying, last words of almost dead people and thoughts about death itself. This album let you experience the feeling of witnessing someone's death like literally staying in front of the deathbed, especially if you read the lyrics and search the background of the album.

I love how thoughtfully you've described each of the albums. I've heard of some. But now I'm obviously gonna listen to them just for some new experience. I wanna feel something like existential horror from musicians making some serious and disturbing statements with their music or whatever they call it. If I would get that feeling I crave then I call it an art. Because I believe music was never just about sad/funny songs. Music can perform terraforming inside one's mind. And that's just breathtaking. Thanks man!

Most disturbing albuns I've heard are Black Metal related. Black Murder 'Feasts' demo, Belkètre side of the Vlad Tepes split, the first three Abruptum albums, Bethlehem's first two albuns. I'm not that much into experimental electronic music, so most of the albuns you presented on the video I'm unfamiliar with, but will surely check out.

For me, Nine inch Nails’ The Downward Spiral is the darkest record I’ve heard in my life. I remember when I had people cleaning my house I locked myself in my room and listened to the downward spiral to pass the time. First time I listened to an album all the way through.

First time watching your channel. I was surprised and delighted to see relatively mainstream artists like Scott Walker and John Zorn on your list. Any fan of Zorn's Kristallnacht album will likely appreciate Black Angels by George Crumb, which was written as commentary on the Vietnam War. Crumb's composition is centered around the numbers 13 and 7 since they are associated with fate and destiny; the composition coveys a total sense of inescapable desolation and loss. The Kronos Quartet was formed after a violinist heard Black Angels, and the quartet eventually released an amazing rendition of the composition in 1990 on Nonesuch records.

And much respect for discovering 'The Drift' - the most f--king terrifying piece of music i've ever heard. With the possible exception of 'Frankie Teardrop' by Suicide - an 18 minute long minimalist piece about a man going from room to room murdering his family complete with utterly bloodcurdling screams. Thanks for the very enjoyable video and i hope a few of the things i've mentioned meet your standard of disturbing. And if The Drift chilled you too then you set a very high bar indeed.

the part on dread magnificence with the sample of the woman screaming help me over and over and over really fucked me up. none of his other albums have freaked me out as hard. culthes des ghoules henbane disturbs me but i can't put my finger exactly on what it is. i love them, but none of their other albums freak me out that way. something about the way henbane builds and crescendos and the raw madness of it really gets to me. the closer track on odd spirituality has a great use of a sample from possession that freaked me out the first couple of times i heard it, but not once i'd seen the movie. Comus by Comus has some moments that give me goosebumps in an unpleasant way. I also really like David Koresh's songs but i don't think they would freak me out if i didn't know they were recorded while he was marrying child brides and preparing for so many of his people and children to die. i'll have to think more and return to this post.

Thanks for the video, got to check some of this out (except maybe Buyer's Market). I'm not so deep diver into strange and super underground bands like you, but I have some albums on my mind that were pretty creepy and kinda disturbing Skinny Puppy - Last rights was really creepy to listen at night without any lights and on nice acoustic system. Methwitch - Indwell is pretty creepy, yeah it is kinda on slamming brutal death metal side of things, but story told with songs (it's a conceptual album about a guy who got possessed by Demon) is kinda disturbing. Of course it is a fiction, not a real thing like some stuff from your picks, but dissonant music, odd time signatures and some not some pleasant sounds in it. Liked it a lot. Ulcerate - Stare into death and be still. That one would be like pop-music for you, I guess, but really nice atmospheric vibes made with chaotic yet structured songs.

Very good list! Everything in the power electronics, death industrial, noise and experimental/avantgarde stuff can be considered pretty unsettling.

I would say Brighter Death Now 'Innerwar' 1996 (I still remember the first time listening to that album on headphones back in the summer of 1998). I thought the burnt-corpse art theme was the fitting imagary for such a dark and scathing album. There are more/other disturbing releases from Brighter Death Now but 'Innerwar' was my introduction to death-industrial (which has still remained an underground genre in my opinion). *Let's not forget the originator Boyd Rice...his NON discography still holds up ('God and Beast' and 'Children of the Black Sun' are both classic death-ambient releases in my collection).

"An Evil Heat" by Oxbow is one of the most schizophrenic and unhinged albums ever made. The way Eugene Robinson "sings" (more like yelping, whining, screaming, and sweating than singing) is entirely unique and captivating. The way the music constantly strains and buckles and builds tension but never releasing is insanity. This is one of the best noise rock albums ever made and it is unsettling as all hell.

The most disturbing albums I know are the one I find at the bottom of Wyattxhim's icebergs. And everything with the tag "death industrial". About Atrax Morgue: I discovered Marco Corbelli's project through Wyatt's video about industrial and through Thismachinekillsmusic's video. I am Italian, and finding out Mr. Corbelli's work was shocking, because I felt I could understand the environment, the architectures that surrounded him. Maybe his work isn't good in a canonical way, but his raw honesty is what struck me. It made me say: yes, also in sunny Italy we have our collapsing buildings (both in a real and in a metaphorical/emotional sense ). P. S: thanks Wyatt for making me wanting to know more about Gnaw Their Tongues. I purchased All The Dread because of your collection recap, and it was truly an experience.

For me the most disturbing music is the one by a Dutch band called "Stalaggh" (later known as "Gulaggh") had a member who worked as a nurse in a psychiatric hospital in the Netherlands and was looking after him, and this became the artwork for one of the band's albums after the man killed himself. Depending on the story they either kidnapped or conned the hospital into giving them access to some of the more insane patients, and they took them away to a remote location to record "the primal screams of the insane". All of their albums, 6 in total were made using the screams of mentally ill patients layered over guitar and noise. One their most controversial album "Projekt Misanthropia" a schizophrenic man who murdered his mother was taken to a farmhouse with the other patients, and at one point in the album you can hear a scuffle break out as the screams take on a primal, almost demonic edge. That is where the schizophrenic man had tackled and had begun strangling one of the band members so severely that he was almost killed. They also gained access to the children's wing and recorded there, which the band believes is their best work because "children don't hold back their screaming". The session was ended when one of the children broke off their nails after collapsing onto the ground and trying to claw through the concrete while screaming. All of the patients used gave their full permission, because according to the band (whose members are all anonymous) "they hate humanity as much as we do." Despite all this, many of the patients describe it as the best therapy they've had in years. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oWSM2pWLiNytgqg.html

I just came across your channel. As a music lover "especially Metal music" who tends to stay away from the more popular stuff thats out there, and the best reason I can tell you why, is that its ubiquitous and easy to find, no matter what one might point out is so good about it, its still ubiquitous and easy to find, not so much that Im not open to give whatever a listen, Ive always been much more pleased with the music that I found a bit off the treaded path, ya got to do a little digging to find. the stuff that isn't thrown at you constantly in the media or on a T shirt with unreadable font...lol. There is a lot of stuff out there that is no longer in print, or the band put out one or 2 super heavy Death or Doomy stuff thats absolutely beautiful, but then they suddenly changed their style and has only tiny little hints of the super heavy band they started out as. I apologize, Ive yapped too much. I appreciate coming across another human who likes and can introduce me to some Beautifully disturbing , off the beaten path Metal. I enjoy it GREATLY. Thanks. Stay Frosty,Sir.

After reading the book Metallica's 'One' was based on, that song really ate at me much more than before I read the book. The song "The Evangelist" from Spawn of Possession is also pretty unsettling, lyrics and music fit perfectly to create some seriously messed up vibes. As far as albums that bother me go, only thing I can think of is pretty much everything Imperial Triumphant puts out, they are really good at making songs that are anxiety ridden. Aphex Twin has some pretty messed up stuff too.

I absolutely love Black Mountain Transmitter...it takes alot for me to consider anything truly disturbing in its own right & I don't take works to be ultimately to heart pre-say...projects like Gruntsplatter, Theologian, or even Navicon Torture Technologies are so gorgeous within its own form of creation.

Quality stuff!!! And you dropped in John Zorn, who's entertained me for literally decades. Best way for people to grapple with him for the first time would be to assemble a random "party mix", but with Zorn's Naked City tracks scattered in there. Succinct little bursts of sonic vandalism! You haven't learned to enjoy EVERYTHING in music until you've seen some frat boy twitching to Kajagoogoo's "Too Shy" who suddenly has to deal with a random 45-second burst of pandemonium. Priceless! But the one album that pushed me back on my heels? For about a decade now, my "gold standard", hands down: Sunn o))) and "Black One". Goddamn...what a difficult album. Now, my background in composition has seen me grapple with difficult music since the mid-1970s. I think that Throbbing Gristle is jaunty and poppy. "Black One", OTOH, is one massive, crushing wall of sonic devastation. I have listened to it once and ONLY once...not because I don't like it, but because that album is intensely oppressive. The one time I played my vinyl copy, I kept having to take longer and longer pauses between sides just to get through it! Soundwise...hmm...imagine Phil Spector's "wall of sound" repurposed as a WMD. Crushing, oppressive, and by the time you make it to side 4, you're both mentally and physically wrecked. That last side, btw, has their rather claustrophobic singer sealed inside a coffin in the studio with his mic. When you get done with it (or should it be when IT gets done with YOU?), the proper reaction is just stunned silence...what can you say after that!?

Some other recommendations here. Screech Owl by Wold is one of my all time favorite disturbing metal albums. Also, the split album by Spectral Lore and Underjordiska is quite unsettling yet strangely hopeful by the end as it documents one's journey to the bottom of the ocean and back up again

@DasLicht777

Жыл бұрын

Freemasonry by Wold aswell, pretty fucked-up vocal style.

I have two picks, first being Urfe by Axis of Perdition. Axis are an industrial black metal that made a spoken word ambient double album that tells the story of Urfe traveling through a hellish world where everyone has been turned into depraved monsters trying to kill him and it's very grotesque and anxiety inducing. My second pick is The Holy Bible by the Manic Street Preachers. The lyrics to it were mostly written by Richey Edwards and it covers topics such as being a prostitute or a girl with severe anorexia. Richey was known for doing severe self harm and went missing shortly after the album released. He went missing near a popular suicide bridge so it's most likely he killed himself which makes the depressing songs on that album hit that much harder.

I'm with you on this one, @rural dust. And, it is especially disconcerting when you know some backstory about the band, mainly the lead singer and principal songwriter, Roger Wootton. I'll say this: The closing track, "The Prisoner", is more-or-less a recounting of true events that transpired in his life while the album's artwork originated as a subsequent byproduct of that tumultuous time prior to the group's establishment. TO ADD: Still, I find it oddly distasteful -- as parodoxical as it might seem given the subjectivity of art and the entitlement one has to their own opinions about it -- how a "modern" listener might brush someone like Mr Wootton's efforts off as "not disturbing enough" despite the very real hell he went through for a time that consequently birthed such dark creativity -- a hell that perhaps one cannot, or maybe even will not, be empathized with. I, then, imagine if that same someone would have the gall to express such sentiments to his or another 'disturbed' artist's face if given the opportunity (hopefully not, though lol). I also wonder what the artists listed in the video, and those mentioned here in the comments, would think of our attempts to 'reason' with their art by placing them into this current meme that is the "disturbing music you've probably never heard before" trend: Would they appreciate it, or would they find such efforts futile, misguided and maybe even a little pretentious? From my perspective, the whole culture seems like one big game of one-upsmanship regarding who is the most well-versed in 'disturbing media' while always striving to find the next most disturbing thing that will usurp an already dubious throne of twisted worship. It's an ever accelerating race to the abysmal depths of human pain and suffering; an abyss that tends to be vicariously experienced at someone else's permanent expense for the benefit of another's fleeting amusement.

Cool video, not saying they necessarily fit on this list but I'd be interested in hearing what you think of The Rita, some of their sonics seem like they'd fit this category. Big ups!

You should check out Skin Chambers two releases, Wound and Trial. Wound both lyrically and musically, is the soundtrack to a trip through hell. As a side note, both members of Skin Chamber are also members of Controlled Bleeding

If I remember right, that Zorn album comes with a warning because of the one track that’s high frequency noise that simulates the violence of that night. This video also made me think of the album Consumed by the electronic artist Richie Hawtin. Very sparse, dark, hypnotic and lurking type of sounds. No lyrics, just subdued electronic percussion with lots of reverb. Experiencing the whole album will definitely put you in a different state of mind.

Prolonged or repeated listenings is not advisable as it may result in temporary or permanent ear damage. -- the composer”

"The Disintegration Loops" by William Basinski, "The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid" by Stars of the Lid, "Sadness Will Prevail" by Today Is the Day and "The Drift" by Scott Walker (that you mentioned yourself)

We used the vocals MENTAL HOSPITAL PATIENTS! Over a bunch of atonal noises and creepy ambience!" it's like, ok, that's nice. Meanwhile I still find random canonized (and relatively "harmless" by modern metalhead standards) stuff like Death's Leprosy somewhat disturbing because the talent communicates the intended atmosphere.

I have a huge industrial collection... here are the ones which I find genuinely difficult to listen to: Martin Bladh - Dirge; The Peter Sotos Files (concentrated Sotos with musical backing, even more disturbing than "Buyer's Market" or his Whitehouse appearances) Con-Dom - How Welcome Is Death To I Who Have Nothing More To Do But Die (the bleak unvarnished horror of old age, physical decay and death which awaits us all) Sutcliffe Jugend - The Victim As Beauty (unbearably intense and detailed evocation of the kidnapping, torture, r-pe and murder of a single victim)

I think Kapala's "Infest Cesspool" is a great example of a 'disturbing' album. Harsh warnoise all about misanthropy, war, genocide, extinction, and anything else relating to the suffering of humanity. I know themes of war and death aren't exactly uncommon in metal music, but Kapala manages to so perfectly encapsulate the feelings of chaos and dread. Especially in outro titled "Atrocity Cacophony." Sounds of gunfire, screaming, and marching which you could believe is audio taken from a real warzone. And not only is the album so good at capturing the terror of war, it's just unbelievably heavy too. It's not pure noise, there's rhythm and distinguishable instruments. Kapala's other albums manage to channel similar emotions, but I don't think any of them are quite as mesmerizingly dreadful as "Infest Cesspool"

The Downward Spiral from NiN has always disturbed me. Every song gets you further down the spiral and when it ends i just feel like breaking down and cry in a corner

The hardest thing I've heard in years is End's Splinters From an Ever-Changing Face which is like having your face pushed into broken glass. Has several clips of patients in an insane asylum being interviewed from I'm guessing the 60's and 70's. The most disturbing is a hard call, but lyrically, I'd probably have to give it to The Jesus Lizard or someone like that. Most of the lyrics on Goat are legitimately horrifying. Possibly Streetcleaner by Godflesh too. The one I listened to where I felt the end was nigh is probably Neurosis - Through Silver In Blood which really feels like an unstoppable solar flare is about to engulf us all in 24 hours.

There was dark ambient/death industrial group from Edinburgh from the late 2000's/early 2010's called Wraiths, who released one of my all time favourite records in the genre called _Oriflamme._ It's a single fourty minute long piece that is, in my humble opinion, some of the most dread inducing and terrifying noise I've had the pleasure of listening to. Especially the segment between 15;35 to 23;00, a hypnotically heavy loop of howling electronics and amelodic percussion. There's no lyrical content or obvious theme behind the song, but it exudes audio evil in a way that compels me to judge other band's efforts by it. Well worth seeking out if you like that type of thing!
