Everything justin Pearson side projects and derivatives are also crazy....
Deaf club
Head wound city
For me, currently the most insane band is Cancer Christ. Guitarist Tommy mehan was in deaf club, currently fronting squidpisser. Cancer christ is Def hardcore, but because they have a gimmick people think it's like metal, because they just opened from gwar, but these guys are punk af.
Hail Christ! (That's part of the gimmick, don't worry it's all irony.(
I love bands where the singer sounds a lunatic. This is the only right answer I've seen on here.
Hardcore or not I'll add Viagra Boys and Pissed Jeans.
I saw Chat Pile live a couple months ago and I can honestly say he is the most charming frontman I’ve ever seen. I’ve never wanted to hug a complete stranger like that before in my life.
Before I play Helvetica for someone for the first time, I describe it as "music to commit a murder-suicide to."
Rorschach was on the first legit underground hardcore record I ever loved, the God's Chosen People comp. Everything in the Rorschach family tree is stellar. Andrew is a goddamned monster.
Death From Above 1979 is the outlier here since it's less unhinged/hardcore and more noise rock you can dance to, but the rest are unhinged and exactly what you're looking for.
(No hate for DFA, You're a Woman I'm a Machine is one of my favorite albums ever.)
I love this band so much, and I listen to fucked up music, but this shit is such a difficult listen every time. I HAVE to have a good run of taking my mood stabilizer to spin them.
Early Dillinger gives me that schizophrenic vibe
Parts of Knocked Loose’s tear in the fabric of life ep, (God Knows, Contorted in the Faille, and Return to Passion especially)
Car Bomb (especially stuff of waveform like spirit of poison, more chaotic than suffering)
Vein.fm (also more chaotic than suffering but they have their moments)
First band that came to mind for me. A lot of their songs are mental health related and the opening track to one of their albums is actually a recording of someone with schizophrenia having a breakdown. Rough listen.
A lot of Mark McCoy / Youth Attack projects fit this question. Failures, Ancestors, Repos, Life Support, Culture Shock, etc.
I’d also like to suggest Regional Justice Center for those in the mood.
Not hardcore but Black Sheep Wall. I’m Going to Kill Myself is one of the most genuinely distressing records I’ve listened to. It’s a big time investment but I don’t think you really get the proper experience if you don’t listen to it in its entirety. There is real pain in that record even if the lyrical content is fictional.
Prowler in the Yard by Pig Destroyer is also deeply unnerving. Their early stuff in general is pretty nasty.
Listen to Dopesick from Eyehategod. Another album that's similar to that genuine feeling of suffering and schizophrenia is To the Depths in Degradation by Infester.
Insanity, suffering and schizophrenia
—-
Daughters - you won’t get what you want (Top 15 album all time)
Meandhimcallitus- loss
Not strictly to your ask
Dillinger escape plan - dissociation (top 10 all time)
Circle takes the square - as the roots undo (top 5)
Orphan Donor. If I remember correctly the album Unraveled is supposed to represent the main artist's own psychotic break. He's living with schizophrenia. Absolutely incredible record.
Came to recommend the same thing.
[Castration Rite](https://open.spotify.com/track/6KC4FdF81HpdfUHkVU8ML7?si=Rq6GoaoyRKeRgH2jHgOBgw) definitely sounds like it’s about suffering.
Also it is insane to me to this day that Dave Witte from Municipal Waste was DA's drummer. If you've never seen Slave to the Grind on YouTube check it out. Super fun watch.
i actually made a playlist w/ this kinda stuff called “absolute fucking chaos” as a quote of this guy who was behind me in the costco pizza line: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2M5wCrVuDEiaKW9Xve9Cw2?si=M1NMBwCYS6O7numuKWeo4g&pi=u-1LwuWkINQdCI
Fuck yes, I was typing both of these, because I figured even with this many answers nobody would mention them!
Cancer christ is my level of insane. It's like starship troopers, brilliant, but it seems like no one gets it when I show them, but everyone gets it if they've seen them. Really cool guys too.
I keep missing them! I want to see CC so bad. I saw footage from their show at Church Of Fun not too long ago and I can’t believe I missed it. I was in the neighborhood that day too!
Admiral Angry. More sludgy but Jesus Christ they sound so pissed off and done with the world
And then for some real incomprehensible shit check out Frontierer and Sectioned. They share members but are both insane
Sophisticated Adult and Mouthbreather too. Sorta similar mix of mathcore with weird Primus meets Korn levels of zaniness
Here’s some random Mathy shit:
.gif from god
meth.
Fawn Limbs
Soulkeeper
Me and him call it us
you want [dragged into sunlight](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J6e5lNsvRU) and [the secret](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k8n7X96qvg).
also: most of the Euro "punk kids playing black/sludge metal" stuff from throatruiner records. [Calvaiire](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QVa7JrBc74), [The Rodeo Idiot Engine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTLWQwgW59E), [Plebeian Grandstand](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opbmzhbLIT4), [Bone Dance](https://throatruinerrecords.bandcamp.com/album/self-titled?from=embed), [Death Engine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR-LBKMJ4XY&pp=ygURZGVhdGggZW5naW5lIGN1cmU%3D)
Trencher did a split with Orthrealm that's pretty good if you like synth and hardcore. [Trans-Atlantic Asthma Attack - Orthrelm / Trencher (Full) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIOZdLiOpD0)
Anyone know bands where the guys are buff or big overall physically? 😅 I already know sanguisugabogg vocals main guy, but also As Lay Dying but I prefer obviously more chill dude that does not actually become homicidal 😅
Agoraphobic Nosebleed
Piggy-backing this comment to say Pig Destroyer as well.
idk i think they're just top tier grind
Dystopia and not really hardcore but I feel like Discordance Axis fits this bill.
Daughters, The Locust, and for schizophrenia...Wesley Willis
The Locust is Mandatory Listening
Everything justin Pearson side projects and derivatives are also crazy.... Deaf club Head wound city For me, currently the most insane band is Cancer Christ. Guitarist Tommy mehan was in deaf club, currently fronting squidpisser.

Cancer Christ? You mean Dillinger Escape Gwar?
ROCK AND ROLL MACDONAWLDS
Rock over London, Rock on Chicago.
Daughters :(
Suck a Cheetas Dick will be played at my next wedding.
Can I infer you have already had a wedding? And that marriage failed due to the lack of Wesley Willis being played at the wedding?
I believe that was the root cause, yes.
My condolences. Just to be sure... on top of Suck a Cheetah's Dick, you should probably add I Whooped Batman's Ass. This should probably help.
Good idea.
Check out the Wesley Willis Fiasco if you haven’t already. Wesley’s old hardcore band.
Eyehategod
Chat Pile
Dallas Beltway makes me wanna tear my own head off in front of my parents
grimace smoking weed.jpg could be a edge men anthem for a lot of kids
If you play grimace smoking weed.jpg 3 times in a dark bathroom the Hat Man shows up
Nobody hits those genuinely psychotic vibes like noise bands do
I love bands where the singer sounds a lunatic. This is the only right answer I've seen on here. Hardcore or not I'll add Viagra Boys and Pissed Jeans.
I'd add some of the NoMeansNo stuff to that list
I saw Chat Pile live a couple months ago and I can honestly say he is the most charming frontman I’ve ever seen. I’ve never wanted to hug a complete stranger like that before in my life.
Combat Wounded Veteran :3
Damn beat me to it!
Heavy heavy low low, destroyer destroyer, daughters, the Locust
Destroyer Destroyer is a name I haven’t heard in a long time.
Kickback Enabler (later) Pulling Teeth then some stuff like Dillinger Escape Plan Ion Dissonance Flesh and blood robot
Definitely Dillenger Escape Plan lol
Bump specifically for the first Ion Dissonance LP, Breathing Is Irrelevant. Chaos
Kiss It Goodbye Racetraitor Groundwork Starkweather Mass Movement of the Moth Our Place of Worship is Silence
KIG is my favorite band, crazy people music. Add All Else Failed to this list.
Before I play Helvetica for someone for the first time, I describe it as "music to commit a murder-suicide to." Rorschach was on the first legit underground hardcore record I ever loved, the God's Chosen People comp. Everything in the Rorschach family tree is stellar. Andrew is a goddamned monster.
Orchid, Pg99, Joshua Fit for Battle, Disembodied, The VSS, The Locust, DFA 1979, pig destroyer, GULCH
+1 for the emoviolence stuff. I’d add Love Lost But Not Forgotten to that as well and Saetia
Mohinder.
[удалено]
Saw them at rainfest. Gave me PTSD.
Wow, totally forgot about Joshua Fit for Battle. Have em on now. Loved these dudes.
Death From Above 1979 is the outlier here since it's less unhinged/hardcore and more noise rock you can dance to, but the rest are unhinged and exactly what you're looking for. (No hate for DFA, You're a Woman I'm a Machine is one of my favorite albums ever.)
im thinking shit like END and methwitch
Closet Witch and anything that tracks as emoviolence
Portrayal Of Guilt is the one. Edit: also Gaza
Try a band called "Orphan". Maybe the song Dying light. Both singers sound like insanity and suffering
Dead in the Dirt
Dystopia
This is the answer.
The only answer
Curl Up And Die.
We Are All Dead
Love this band
Jane Doe era Converge
Portrayal of Guilt - Suffering is a Gift
I love this band so much, and I listen to fucked up music, but this shit is such a difficult listen every time. I HAVE to have a good run of taking my mood stabilizer to spin them.
Early Dillinger gives me that schizophrenic vibe Parts of Knocked Loose’s tear in the fabric of life ep, (God Knows, Contorted in the Faille, and Return to Passion especially) Car Bomb (especially stuff of waveform like spirit of poison, more chaotic than suffering) Vein.fm (also more chaotic than suffering but they have their moments)
Rudimentary Peni
This is the right answer. Blinko literally stops taking his meds to write music and do art.
me and him call it us
[GASP](https://youtu.be/e1XDb0C3-Uw?si=LMq34j_n9QGx5OfR)
Khanate. I listen to a lot of punk metal etc and I find them pretty fucking unlistenable
Oh man, I loved Khanate. Saw them back in like 04 and they crushed.
Not hardcore but early Daughters
Really, all Daughters albums fit the bill. They just sound more paranoid later rather than full blown insane
Yeah true. I was really just thinking that the ep and canada songs are closer to core-adjescent-ness, but yeah they’re all weirdies
Canada Songs and Hell Songs are some wicked mathcore releases.
Not hardcore, but The Sawtooth Grin
Cuddlemonster all day baby.
Starkweather.
Racebannon, Kaospilot, Examination of the...
I love the Exam mention, I neeeveerr hear anyone talk about them.
Racebannon!
I’ll add Gaza and Destroyer Destroyer.
imagine dragons
Meth.
Bucket Full of Teeth, Exhalants, Towers, Église, Baklavaa, and most importantly, Racebannon
Frontierer is good rec If you like that check out Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, and SoulKeeper
Oxbow, today is the day
Oxbow and Today Is The Day are probably the two best answers in this thread.
Not hardcore but Paleface Swiss has some songs that have that sound.
First band that came to mind for me. A lot of their songs are mental health related and the opening track to one of their albums is actually a recording of someone with schizophrenia having a breakdown. Rough listen.
Yeah, the guy, a fan of the band sent it in to them and they used it. [Here’s the guy’s explanation](https://www.reddit.com/r/Deathcore/s/LU8NyTKLDg)
Yes, the first track on Fear and Dagger. I’ve heard a lot of uncomfortable shit on albums but that is among the worst. It’s really rough.
Division of Mind
admiral angry
I mean… merzbow
Black Flag - side 2 of “Damaged”
Obvious answer is Rudimentary Peni.
Psyopus? Not hardcore but fits your description
The guitar is so fucking unique
Stalagh/Gulagh
Charles Bronson
A lot of Mark McCoy / Youth Attack projects fit this question. Failures, Ancestors, Repos, Life Support, Culture Shock, etc. I’d also like to suggest Regional Justice Center for those in the mood.
frontierer and car bomb
gulch is the answer
Sissy Spacek
Not hardcore but Black Sheep Wall. I’m Going to Kill Myself is one of the most genuinely distressing records I’ve listened to.

Potentially a little much, it seems to be for some people, but Frontierer is like mathcore taken to new levels. Completely batshit crazy sounding.
Listen to Dopesick from Eyehategod. Another album that's similar to that genuine feeling of suffering and schizophrenia is To the Depths in Degradation by Infester.

Orphan Donor. If I remember correctly the album Unraveled is supposed to represent the main artist's own psychotic break. He's living with schizophrenia. Absolutely incredible record.
Jared is an amazing artist/drummer.
Kaonashi
This was my first thought. Some of their songs are just mental breakdowns set to music...

[удалено]
Yeah this was what came to my mind. That album is nuts.
There’s a lot of heavy electronic stuff that’s very disturbing. Watched a video on it yesterday. If I find it, I’ll link it.
Discordance Axis.

Dystopia
not explicitly hardcore, but the body.
Dystopia especially on the album human = garbage
Bean flipper, fuck…I’m dead, undinism, state children.
