That Jim Jones tape is pretty eerie. I heard it tacked on top of some dance tune also, but can't for the life of me remember what it was...

That was Alabama 3. I assumed they'd made it themselves as part of their whole semi-ironic revolutionary preaching shtick .. finding out it's Jim Jones is kind of scary..

I listened to "Death Valley '69" loads of times before making the Manson connection, and it kind of put me in mind of the film Badlands -teenage murderers stuck in the desert with a body in the boot kind of thing. It's weird how it immediately made me think 'body in the boot'(or, er, trunk for American readers) even though nothing like that's mentioned in the lyrics..

One more for the road:

"back of your head" and "moonshiner" from Catpower's Moonpix album. It's not a massively scary album in it's own right, but I read an interview in which Chan said that a lot of the songs on it were intially recorded to keep her sane one night when she was staying in a big empty house in the countryside and (somehow) became convinced that demons were going to break in and kill her.. Perhaps thankfully, the actual music doesn't reflect this bad craziness much, but since reading that story, these particular tracks give me a pretty unpleasant glimpse of it..

And to veer in a more non-musical direction, the track "curse go back" on the William Burroughs CD Breakthrough in the Grey Room is pretty terrifying.. it's an 'unidentified' recording of Burroughs, speaking with a really strained, high-pitched accent, reciting a sort of exorcism spell - "lock the gate and lock the door, lock them out for evermore" - over something that's either train/machine noise or some really fucked up no-wave noise type music.. yikes.

Night Of The Electric Insects by Kronos Quartet

Creeeeepy. Perfect theme music for your favorite psychopath. Whenever I hear it I always picture an army (thousands) of "facehuggers" from Alien swarming down a hallway -- coming to get you.

The Goblins soundtrack to "Suprisa" - the movie did squat for me in the chills department but the music supplied all the tension that the movie was missing. Another scary soundtrack belongs to "Woman In The Dunes " a 60's japanese movie ...but I don't know who did the music. Freaky in a "you-got-things-crawling-on-you" kind of way.

Defying my own request, I'll go for the self-consciously scary "Valley of the Shadows" by Origin Unknown. I heard it late at night in bed on John Peel about 10 years ago. It's that "I was in a long dark tunnel" sample over a minimal drum and bass track that does it for me. And Peelie's affable commentary only seemed to heighten the unreality for some reason.

Most of the recordings mentioned are from people with "rock" backgrounds. But HUGE amounts of unnerving, terrifying tracks were/are produced early house, darkcore, jungle and garage. And this stuff is played in clubs for people to go out and dance to and enjoy themselves.

The contact high of unease.

A good example is the El-B remix of Mutiny's "Virus" that came out last year.

Other classics include "Mr Kirk's Nightmare", "Your Only Friend", "Kan Ya Feel It" and pretty much the whole output of Green Velvet.

02:48 / 01.08.02
Then there's Tricky and Massive Attack. I cannot listen to the title track of Mezzanine - it's simply too claustrophobic. "Vent" of Pre-Millenial Tension has a similar effect.
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
07:58 / 01.08.02
Jack: c'mon - doesn't Manson want to be Alice Cooper rather than Satan? A cover of "I Put A Spell On You" and "Tainted Love" really oughta be clueing those teens in by now... (I say this, mind, not just because Mechanical Animals is the greatest Bowie album never released by Bowie. ahem.)

Grant's got it right about Diamanda. Her stuff is just amazing - I know a couple of other Barbeloids that'll testify about that. Hell, even in her lighter moments - the John Paul Jones side-project CD, This Sporting Life, for example - she still manages to fit some curveballs on there. Actually, that album sounds like what Led Zep would've been like if the pact with Satan had really come off...

Seriously, the Plague Mass aside, I think her two scariest discs (bearing in mind that I still have to hear Saint Of The Pit) would have to be Schrei X and Vena Cava. Vena Cava is a series of untitled pieces, and as far as I can tell, they're meant to be the ruminations of a person approaching death - something of a theme in Galas' works. There's more of an institutionalised vibe in this: the (perhaps apocryphal) story goes that during a performance of the pieces, people were known to run out of the venue, the most notable being a woman who was found hiding between two cars on the street, quaking. It's basically a full-on assault, with tic-like repetition of phrases... fairly intense, and not at all right.

Schrei X on the other hand, is a little more organised. One part of it's live, I think, and one part's studio - so essentially you get two versions of the same cycle of songs. Some texts are taken from Job, some from Thomas Aquinas, and some are her own - it's something that takes a lot of effort: banshee-wails of "cunt! cunt!" are the sort of thing that ensure that it's not a work favourite, really. The liner notes, in a sort of spiky gothfont say "PERFORMED IN TOTAL DARKNESS. PLAY AT MAXIMUM VOLUME ONLY. THIS IS NOT AMBIENT MUSIC." Y'got that right.

You can buy her lyrics in book form, prefaced by Clive Barker, under the title The Shit Of God - I'm often tempted to do so. But I keep thinking there'll be some Bad Shit happen if I have that on my shelf, so I've yet to do it...

What else is scary? There's two soundtracks that do it for me: one's for The Boys and the other's for Love Is The Devil. The Necks provide the former - it's only piano/bass/drums, but there's such a feeling of quiet menace that it's really, really unsettling to listen to. Unlike the rest of their work, there's no improv-like unfolding of theme; it's perhaps the jarring, short and creeping tunes that give it its force. Likewise, Sakamoto's music for Love Is The Devil is short, almost bludgeoning. It's full of industrial noises drowned through what sounds like layers of effects; like a car slowly going by, I guess. Awesome stuff: the track "Sex" perfectly captures the idea of animalistic, hardcore-yet-emotionless, nasty sex in a really compelling way. Eugh. Rough trade indeed.

I'd recommend anyone pick up Oxbow's An Evil Heat if they want "something not right" in spades. I reviewed it here, so I won't requote - but suffice to say that it was the most immediately "fuckign hell!" album I've heard in a long time.

I'd second Kid Inc's lead on Kronos' take on Crumb's Black Angels - only I'd say that any full-version recording of that piece (ostensibly about Vietnam) is to be taken on board as a Good Thing. I've a recording by a different quartet (I can't remember who, offhand) who rip into it even more than KQ: and it's recorded with one of those mic setups that looks like a human head; so it's even more in your ears than normal.

Brr.

Oh, I can't put my hands on it at the moment, but there's a CD (that I think's by Black Lung (Dave Thrussell)) that is one of the nastier ambient things I've ever heard. There's a picture of some kind of wharf equipment on the front cover, and one of the tracks on it is a terribly-layered affair - that's then made the more creepy by the presence of a miaowing cat. Over. And over. And Over. It's terrifying.

I was kinda wondering when Roth was going to lay down the law in this thread.. all sounds like jolly bad fun.

"PERFORMED IN TOTAL DARKNESS. PLAY AT MAXIMUM VOLUME ONLY. THIS IS NOT AMBIENT MUSIC."

Yes! I can think of dozens of records that should have that stamped on them .. I hate it when people put crazy, intense music on quietly in the background and then ignore it..

Ok.

Various songs that were so disturbing I've only been able to listen to them once:
Kim by Eminem
The Boiler by that, er, ska band. Is it The Selecter?

Scary songs that still get enjoyed to this day:
I Want You by Elvis Costello
Bring it on Home by Led Zeppelin, due to Robert Plant's really nasty aging blues man impression. (Oh yes, and Dazed and Confused - music to strangle cats by)

What else? Music that used to be scary but now isn't scary at all:
Jeff Wayne's dreadful War of the Worlds album, which used to creep me out when I was younger, to the point where I became scared of synthesisers.
Eyesight to the Blind by The Who - simply because of the bloody horrible faith healing sequence in Tommy which I was unfortunate enough to watch when i was nine. (The Acid Queen still freaks me out)
Children of the Grave by Black Sabbath because of all the creepy whispering

Oh yes, and the recent cover of Light My Fire by that freak, which is so fucking scary for so many reasons.

So there.

Re: Gib's point about dance music.

There are lots of tracks that are quite unsettling, but I always find them very un-scary in a club (this has always been the problem with industrial, but for different reasons). If I'm dancing away to 'em I always feel like i become the missionary of doom, the big scary monster, rather than the (willing) victim.

However, starters for ten:

CJ Bolland - "Horsepower" which is still the freakiest, hugest, reality-tearing hoover noise ever recorded.

Aphrohead - "Thee light" (Dave Clarke mix) "In the dark we live...." Bang Bang Bang-a-bang CLANK "I can see the light...." Zzzzzzzzoooom. RIP. Bang bang bang etc. Damn this is scary. Definitely up there.

English Muffin - "I smell the blood of an English Muffin" Um yes. It's gabba. For some reason this record always terrified me - I had recurring dreams about an enormous unkillable skinhead serial killer called the English Muffin. Probably a personal thing...

Genaside II - "Narra mine" "Mr Maniac" These guys were incredible. They only ever released about four records, about one a year, but they were always the most menacing record that you heard that year. conjuring up a world full of raggamuffin monsters with jamaican accents and big, big knives.

Brainkillers - "Skrewface", Renegade - "Terrorist" - Early jungle. Pretty spooky and menacing. But only two examples of the hundreds of records like this out there. A lot of people have spent almost ten years trying to make the most menacing sounding jungle possible and there is some very scary stuff in there, no doubt.

And a special section for the Candyman samples:

Shedding - "The slaughter" American hard acid which samples that "They say I've shed innocent blood, but what's blood for if not for shedding?" bit. Slightly spoiled by overly repetitive 303 line and boring bash-bash-bash-bash-snare drum pattern, but creepy nonetheless.

And a gabber record, can't remember what it's called but has a dominatrix on the sleeve. It does the "Heeeelen" "Heeeeelen" "I came for you, Helen" bit. Very very big distorted kick sound and just the tiniest shimmer of strings to set it off. Pretty good.

Just wanted to third the stuff about Diamanda Galas...

And say to Gibreel - thank you, someone else who sees just how super dark 'Mezzanine' really is.

Some Marilyn Manson stuff is actually quite sad, in the vein of 'Disarm' by the Smashing Pumpkins. 'Man that you Fear', particularly. And MM's rendition of that bit from 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' (the boat in the tunnel rhyme) at the beginning of 'Portrait of an American Family' is fairly creepy, but that was in the old days, before the rabbits and the cheerleaders.

Shellac scares the piss out of me. "She can go quietly/with disease or a blow." And Albini's guitar is just plain mean. They always make me feel unliked.

I agree about Music for a New Society. Of John Cale's works, it's the one that makes me the most suicidal (and they all do, I guess).

Berlin by Lou Reed is another just plain mean record. There's this total spiritual void there, and the breeze from the pit is absolutley chilling.
 
 
Cop Killer
20:53 / 31.08.02
"Yehway or the Highway" by Arab on Radar tends to scare me, sometimes, when I'm alone. They scared my girlfriend quite a bit when we saw them, she hated them. There's a whole lotta treble going on with that record, and really treble is much scarier than bass, the guy sings very trebly, the guitars are trebly, there's no bass guitar, and the drums somehow keep it all together with crushing accuracy. Seriously, they sound like the marching band of Hell.
Shellac scares me too, but not nearly as much as Big Black, especially "Kerosene" because that song is about 75% of the people in my town:
[i]I was born in this town
Lived here my whole life
Probably come to die in this town
Lived here my whole life
Never anything to do in this town
Lived here my whole life...

Kerosene's around
found something to do
Set me on FIRE!!
Kerosene
set me on fire[/i]

Oh, and an aside, [b]Rock Star God[/b] by the Makers is the best Bowie album that Bowie didn't put out.

Scariest recordings i've heard so far is kronos quartet's black angels. as soon as the counter hit 00:01 i thought my stereo was being murdered. anything by whitehouse seems to shock me... not so much the music itself but the lyrics are all rape fantasies, which kind of puts me in an uneasy position. The "I'm destructive" instrumental by Dr.Octagon has a read disturbing spoken word in it where a man is confessing to murders. in NJ there is a station which plays freeform and experimental recordings by obscure artists (for those intrested its wfmu 91.1 go to wfmu.org for playlists and info) usually at night they play some strange noise recordings. one night i heard a recording of growling dogs eating a slab of meat... it went on for about fourteen minutes. then there's the joe frank radio show... not really that scary but he has some of the most original (sometimes depressing)stories i've ever heard.

damned right Big Black is scary. I wonder when Albini is going to put out his sensative acoustic record

The song that's really disturbing me right now is Radiohead's Pyramid Song:

Jumped in the river what did I see?

Black eyed angels swam with me

Ughh... that and the fact that the strings sound like you're being slowly but inevitably pulled into hell. And that's hell as depicted in Jacob's Ladder, a filthy and deranged nightmare hospital where the floor is littered with body parts, knowing some fucked-up semi-Cenobite is going to slice you up with scalpels while you're strapped down do a lice infested bed.

Besides that, I have to say Static by Godspeed You Black Emperor. The ultimate *play-it-loud-with-the-the-lights-off* experience. Even in full daylight the crescendo leaves even the casual listener white-knuckled and breathing heavily. Everything about this track exudes impending Judgement from On High, from the derailed prophet and his heart-wrenching monologue on what it means to see The Face of God ("If you see The Face of God you'll go insane. And there'll be nothing left apart from the God Man, the God Woman, the Heavenly Man, the Heavenly Woman, and there will be nothing left apart from a Song of Jubilee on your lips, waiting for your King..."), to said stratospheric, terrifying crescendo, to the scraping of cymbals prefiguring the Ring soundtrack, to the cursed atomic clock sounding a death knell. The entire section before the build sounds like I'm being ferried across the Styx by Death itself...

Oh, and Yes, Archives of Pain, The Intense Humming of Evil and 4st 7lb from the Manic Street Preachers' jaw dropping The Holy Bible are practically unlistenable when you're tracking JDB's free form wailing with the lyric sheet. This is an album that has still never been equalled by any other punk band in terms of sheer terror, bile and contempt. I mean, fuck:

For sale/dumb cunt's same dumb questions/all virgins listen: all virgins are liars, honey... He's a boy, you want a girl so tear off his cock/tie his hair in bunches, fuck him, call him Rita if you want

If hospitals cure, then prisons must bring their pain/don't be afraid to slaughter, the centre of humanity is cruelty/there is never redemption, any fool can regret yesterday/nail it to the House of Lords, you will be buried in the same box as a killer

I've finally come to understand life through staring blankly at my navel

In Block 5 we worship malaria

And I'm not even going to mention Marillion's She Chameleon. A Collection is worth sentence or two, though: the most beautiful song about a serial killer ever written, totally eclipses Every Breath You Take for a Trojan Horse tune about vile obsession.

01:56 / 01.09.02
Oh yeah: there has to be a mention of Company Flow's Last Good Sleep, in which El P comes to terms with the memories of hearing his father beat his mother to a pulp. Not something you'll want to hear often.

“That Jim Jones tape is pretty eerie. I heard it tacked on top of some dance tune also, but can't for the life of me remember what it was...”

“That was Alabama 3. I assumed they'd made it themselves as part of their whole semi-ironic revolutionary preaching shtick .. finding out it's Jim Jones is kind of scary..”

Do you mean the tape of Jim Jones’ final sermon? The one that was recorded in secret by the CIA when they simply sat back and watched the massacre unfold? That sure is one slutty recording—it has worked its way into several songs!

About thirteen or fourteen years ago a mysterious tape showed up in my bedroom. I had no idea where it came from and it had no label on it. It was a blank tape that had been wrapped in gold foil. At the time, I threw it off to the side. A couple of weeks later, I decided to put it into my machine to see if anything was on it. It wasn’t rewound, so it started playing where it had been left off. I heard some very strange music I’d never heard the likes of before, but it was kinda’ interesting, so I let it play. The first song (which had started playing about half way through) ended, and then the next song came on. It immediately had me picturing a desolate wasteland. The sky was blood red, and the sun was but a faint disc shimmering through air filled with blowing sand which a cruel and cold wind mercilessly drove into the charred and twisted remains of buildings that were half submerged under the shifting sands. There wasn’t a soul anywhere. Chains and tubing and wires clanked and clanged against the metal frames of these abandoned and decrepit structures. I had to reach out and hit the ‘stop’ button on my stereo because I was too frightened to listen to the whole song. About a half a year later, after listening to Coil’s Hellraiser Soundtrack and Horserotavator albums obviously too often, I then began listening to that same mystery tape when I went to bed. I later found out that the tape was a collection of Throbbing Gristle songs, and the particular song that had scared me so was called Beachy Head (Hamburger Lady was one of the songs on the other side of the tape). Since then, music has never really terrified me again.

Most of Throbbing Gristle's "20 Jazz-Funk Greats" album. Especially "Persuasion".

"Disneyland Can Wait" by Boyd Rice & Friends. ("Someday I'll take you to Disneyland. We'll go on Mr Toad's wild ride and follow him straight down to hell... but for now, hell is all around us... I'll buy you a warehouse full of banana clips... and enough soldiers to do what's necessary..."

Brian Eno's "What Actually Happened" (from the album NerveNet).

And, of course, "A Message From Our Sponsor" by the Legendary Pink Dots... a message from God about how funny he finds all our images/what-have-you to him... ending withe the line "So sing! Sing while you may.../ it may not be for very long."

Returning to the Industrial genre- Most of it is intentionally scary, but the majority of it is funny rather than scary (something to do with the fact that mangled Franglo-Deutsch-'glish over 80's synth-pop is always going to be absurd rather than truly nasty). It's like the fetish scene in general- more an attitude of scariness than anything that produces genuine fear. There are two exceptions to this however (and no, it's not the bizarrely coloned :wumpscut:, entertaining though those tunes are). The first is Throbbing Gristle, as mentioned earlier by Maominstoat. The second is Skinny Puppy. Their last album really really makes my flesh crawl. OK, so it's a well rehearsed combination of noise, minor chords, cacophony and guttural vocals, but for some reason I just get the feeling that they're not joking. Not one to listen to on drugs of any kind...

That sort of scary is flesh-crawling perverted dark-side nastiness scary... Then there is the good old who's that behind you? chilling sinister paranoia fear. Which much as I love the album, I find DJ Shadow's Endtroducing producing in me...

Unintentionally scary music... I have an irrational fear of barbershop quartets. And I have no idea why. It's seems to be related to the fear that some people have of clowns. I think barbershop quartets should be added to the list of hideously scary things that includes Morris Dancers, ventriloquist dummies, clowns, mimes, shadow puppets, Matthew Kelly, and the Krankies. ARGH!

Sacred Harp singing, a rural-Southern Protestant shaped-note tradition, is pretty creepy sounding. Shaped-note notation is a way for musically-illiterate persons to be able to read relative pitch rather easily, facilitating singing reasonably complex four-part harmonies with no prior practice. Since before the civil war, American families from a variety of Christian faiths have been gathering at Singings, keeping this archaic musical form alive. The Sacred Harp tradition (named for its primary hymnal) is almost always ussacomanied. Sections (bass, treble, alto, and tenor) sit in a square, their combined voices filling any space with an almost mystical musical energy. I can't really describe what it sounds like, but you can hear some of it at the Fasola web page. My roommate, myself, and his girlfriend, lasped christians the lot of us, are absolutely addicted. It's a beautiful music, true, but also a terrifying one. The conviction and faith evident at a big singing are pummeling smashing into you.Oh, I don't know, give it a listen.

um... probably not available anywhere, but a local band near me called Lux Mammoth. Two bass players and something making some god-awful fucking clanging noises. They don't play their basses, so much as emit massive throbbing "plunging-to-the-depths" bass stabs with a mass of feedback. The whole thing sounds like it was made to kill people to.

When I saw em live, they played powertools though. That was a bit weird too.

Dig Coil. All their stuff sounds scary in a "not quite sure what they're doing but its sort of music isn't it?" way.

Dance Music: yeah lotsa dark drum n bass out there. Dunno if I think its that scary, although Possession by Faith in Chaos blew me away when I first heard it. DJ Bailey opened a set with it, and everyone just stood there not quite sure whether to cry or not. Kinda funny really...

iivix, i agree, that last Skinny Puppy record was pretty creepy. All that music box shit along with the intentional volume increase on the one track. Alot of their earlier shit is also pretty wacko. ie. that track VX Gas Attack that has the sample of the dude saying "ritual murders" in a bizarre accent.

More fun with liner notes:

Caution: Never Again contains high frequency extremes at the limits of human hearing & beyond, which may cause nausea, headaches and ringing in the ears. Prolonged or repeated listenings is not advisable as it may result in temporary or permanent ear damage.

Oh yeah. That's from Kristallnacht by John Zorn, which is essentially his retelling of the Holocaust. Think of classical music being bludgeoned by shards of white noise, over which chants, Nazi speeches and other found sounds play. It's pretty hard going - as you'd expect from the subject matter - and at times is terrifying. Headphone listening is for the brave only: though explaining to one's housemates exactly what the fuck that is coming out of your stereo may be a little awkward...

Btw... forgot to mention- grant, that Jason Moss book is one of the scariest BOOKS I've ever read... I can imagine the tapes would be unbelievably disturbing.

BUT... having posted again in this thread, I guess I'd better get back on topic- Current 93's "In a Foreign Land, In a Foreign Town". Four instrumentals, come packaged with a book of four stories by Thomas Ligotti, for which they act as a soundtrack. Or, alternatively, C93's "I Have A Special Plan For This World"... over some tapes apparently FOUND in the street, of cut-up and disjointed voices, and with a tiny bit of electronics thrown in, Tibet reads a specially-written Ligotti piece. Best listened to very, very stoned, alone in the house, lying on the floor in total darkness. If it doesn't scare the living piss out of you, I don't know what will. (Other than finding out afterwards that the title comes from a question asked when determining whether or not people are psychotic...)

Have I mentioned "Homotopy to Marie" by Nurse With Wound yet?
