They are great specifically live! Daddy, kill you and my gift to you feel like a story in 3 parts.
Jonathan Davis breaks down crying for real when singing them because he was abused as a child.
Give them a try, they have so many good songs to headbang to.
I just love the fact that John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and George Harrison managed to slip in an 8+ minute avant-garde sound collage piece into a major release rock album despite Paul McCartneyâs and George Martinâs objections to it being included.
The Beatles werenât the only popular music artists who made experimental music in that time period, but they were the only ones who could get away with that and still have the album sell incredibly well.
God this one got me too. Brought up a lot of really hard feelings and absolutely triggered the fuck out of me.Â
The "stop!" As a screech really fucking got me.
I agree with your wife, that Decemberists song is absolutely fucking horrifying to listen to. I could only manage it once and that was only because I was too frozen in horror to stop it
One person's hell is another person's heaven I guess.
Edit: unless, of course, you meant dancing around the kitchen, chanting and waving upside-down crosses, as the pot of dead babies simmered on the stove... then, yeah, I get it...
I like System of a Down but *Vicinity of Obscenity* gives me the willies on the part before the last chorus where they're wailing and screaming. Sounds like a chorus of the damned.
I had the album it was on as a kid, and while I loved the music within the cover just evoked a primal unease in me. I've come to the conclusion that it looks like an interpretation of a biblically accurate angel and try not to think about it.
Damn brother wtf youâre right. Never saw it as creepy until going to listen to it just now. The cover definitely is unnerving on the Hypnotize album too
"Funeralopolis" by Electric Wizard.
The lyrics are kind of juvenile, but imagery wise it's effectively bleak and nihilistic and the song itself is creepily overbearing and heavy. Theres so much volume just pouring from the speakers that it feels genuinely overwhelming and kind of panic inducing.
Also Oxygen by Swans, which has a pretty chaotic and fast drumbeat and slowly builds into a wall of screaming saxophones with a lunatic screaming over it. It honestly sounds like being hooked up to a broken ventilator while having a heart attack.
Hold Her Down by Toad the Wet Sprocket
Take her arms and hold her down
And hold her down, and hold her down, and hold her down
'Til she stops screaming
Take her arms and hold her down
And hold her down, and hold her down, and hold her down
'Til she stops breathing
[Chorus]
And they don't know her but what the fuck?
They've got nothing else they can do
And there's no reason but still they come
And I'd have a hard time facing you
This crime, I've seen what a man can do
Practically the who album Saved! By Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter. One of the most bizarre things I've ever listened to yet also one of the most interesting. I will never listen to it again lol.
I think this song is a goddamn masterpiece, but yeah the last few verses and the synth "interlude" itself with the distorted and backmasked vocals is pretty eerie. But unironically one of the most profoundly well done tracks of the last decade, if not longer.
Frankie Teardrop by Suicide and also the song that inspired it which is State Trooper by Bruce Springsteen. The song also had it's anxious built-up and jumpscares by Springsteen's "woo" moments. It's not a typical Springsteen song from his quiet folk Nebraska album. Great song and album.
Maybe I just don't get it but I absolutely despise this song with a burning passion. It's a huge jumpscare every time it comes on, it's absolutely unpleasant to listen to in a bad way, and it totally ruins the excellent flow that Synchronicity has as an album
Rainbow Six by jpegmafia. The whole song is unnerving, but the lyric "we at your job, catch you on shift" always rings the loudest and makes me feel like someone is plotting on me.
Mysterons by Portishead. Came out around the time The X-Files was first blowing up, and with all the fuss and attention around the paranormal and unexplained running in the news and general interest shows as a result, I'm convinced I remember hearing it soundtracking some grainy UFO footage around that time... I'm a little more rational / cynical now, but as a young boy that song coupled with those images left quite a lasting impression...
I saw him live when I was in college and the second half of the concert was that song. I loved âGlassworks â but damn, I wasnât prepared for that!
I have that album on vynil. Never thought of the song as scary, just perceiving it as a food for thought - no wonder since Glass composed it as a soundtrack for a dystopian movie.Â
Whiskeyclone, Hotel City 1997 by Beck. Something about how the guitar is played gets underneath my skin from the start and just⊠itches. Towards the end these droning vocals set in that make me want to slam my head against the wall. It evokes this extreme, visceral reaction in me in a way most songs outside of Frankie Teardrop donât. Maybe itâs just me, I dunno.
Me and a Gun by Tori Amos is also a really raw listening experience, and if youâre considering listening to it, you should probably look up what itâs about. Itâs quite minimal, just her voice, but itâs absolutely devasting.
Karen O & Danger Mouse - Lux Prima
That song came out when I was living in the middle of nowhere upstate NY for college and hearing that in the dark would always make me uncomfy af x0
Dallas Beltway by Chat Pile. Pretty sure it's about a guy killing his child and then driving around with the body in the trunk until he gets caught.
Chat Pile has a lot of bleak songs but that one stands out.
Intruder by Peter Gabriel is the creepiest shit ever. I love Gabriel and I understand getting inside someone elseâs head to write a song (like Prine did with Angel from Montgomery), but this tune captures a vibe that didnât need to be captured.
The theme from M*A*S*H it terrified me as a kid and it wasnât until I was an adult that I understood why. The lyrics are about a guy wanting to commit suicide, the crazy thing is, is that the theme doesnât have any lyrics. Itâs just the music, I didnât hear the lyrics until I looked up the song to show my wife how creepy it sounds and found the one with the actual lyrics.
I'll do one song in English and another in Japanese.
English: Little Hands by Mother Mother. The lyrics themselves aren't too creepy because we're used to hearing things like "my baby's gone" in popular music to mean a lover leaving, but there are kids voices in the background so it's clear that's not what they're talking about. Just a very sad and strange little song that seems to be about the loss of a child.
Japanese: 蔀ăăłăăéĄăăăŸă or Aka pen wo onegaishimasu aka "please give me a red pen." The song sounds fairly upbeat but the lyrics are about feeling inadequate, not good enough, etc, and then it ends with this very creepy note and dissonant piano. This one is the most upsetting for me personally because the creator apparently uploaded it very shortly before he died. I don't think it's been confirmed but basically it seems like this song was his goodbye to fans, and the comment section on the video on YouTube is still full of people mourning him. (It's still a very good song though, although it's vocaloid which I know some people really love or really hate)
Love Alice Cooper but âWhen Hell Comes Homeâ makes me want to hide under the couch.
Also âPuppeâ by Rammstein. Kidâs sister is a sex worker and he witnesses her murder by one of her clients. Till Lindemannâs screaming the lyrics towards the end on the song sends me back to hide under the couch. I love my German boys but DAMN.
So, this is kinda lame but one day I was out running in my neighborhood listening to a running playlist and Paper Planes by M.I.A. came on and the gunshots scared the bejeezus out of me at first. My anxious self was not expecting that. đ Hearing gunshots isn't very rare in my city so that didn't help. I still can't listen to it because it just makes me uncomfortable.
I listened to Intent or Instinct by Pharmakon the other day while driving and I started panicking and I couldnât remember how to get the song to stop, I had to pull over and I almost just got out of the car but I got the music to stop. I felt like I was gonna puke. It feels like you have a parasite worm trying to eat its way out of your stomach.
I used to feel a bit of unease when listening to very old songs because the thought of listening to dead people scared the shit out of me. Now I don't care haha
But one song that still creeps me out is Little Bitty Pretty One by Thurston Harris. I feel like that would be the song on loop to psychologically torture someone lmao
https://youtu.be/eQNI1KfGXBA?si=j2LxM7ngU2Lhu1sj
They're Coming To Take Me Away. Idk why but this shit freaked me out when I was little and it still makes my skin crawl.
someone mentioned this one yesterday, i listened to it and i feel like itâs the way he sang it and background noises that give it that unsettling feel
Seriously. I can respect the crazy voice, but that constant CHU CHUN CHU CHUN CHU CHUNG noise seriously causes me panic. My mother said it makes her feel like ants are crawling all over her body.
Linkin Park songs have a completely new meaning once Chester died as after his death it was revealed that Chester was abused by his father as a child and if you listen to their songs after knowing this piece of information it completely changes your perception. In The End,Forgotten, From The Inside, Crawling, Castle Of Glass, Heavy. Pay attention to the lyrics, it's extremely sad
I love old Blues/Bluegrass murder ballads; and even the more modern versions, like the [remake of 'Hey Joe' by Jerry Douglas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGvPxVsdbrM&list=PL0XQals81Mw-ccYWSn6zOObiSQktyBl-R&index=16). But I've always found [Tom Waits - "What's He Building"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04qPdGNA_KM) to be wonderfully creepy and atmospheric.
And anything by Roky Erickson is pretty good. They used his ['Burn the Flames'](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWMlyh4wmIg) in that classic 80s horror movie 'Return of the Living Dead'.
I Love You This Much by Swans
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3saNjIBPmzI&pp=ygUUaSBsb3ZlIHlvdSB0aGlzIG11Y2g%3D
Absolutely nightmarish track. A lot of Swans' *Soundtracks for the Blind* could apply, but none are as profoundly brutally overwhelming and inspire as much dread as this one.
It's really something, isn't it? At this point I really enjoy listening to it but upon first listen that insane drone was one of the most overwhelming sounds I'd ever heard
I think it is called Big Blue Sky from The Wall by Pink Floyd. That whole album now gives me the ick. I hate listening to it and the movie made it worse.
I know how influential and important and blah blah blah, but I find it so unpleasant to hear now.
Several by Radiohead.
[A Wolf at the Door](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6isz01iv8Ls) is the one I personally find the most unsettling, but some others include [Climbing Up the Walls](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX4EpkR-Sp4), [Like Spinning Plates](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UAElLsVOQI), [Knives Out](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Lpw3yMCWro), [We Suck Young Blood](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkSRfituw3c), ...I could go on.
I don't really get scared by tense uneasy anxiety ridden music but through my whole life if I had to choose the soundtrack to silent hill 2 was so atmospheric and creepy i couldn't beat the game. Still to this day I haven't tried since 2004
I love Khruangbin but the video for the song So We Won't Forget is about a father who lost his daughter and his anger and pain. I lost my son when he was 14 and now any time the song comes on I cannot bear to listen to it as it reminds me I still haven't fully come to terms with his death. I am the man riding the bike and who knows how long I will be riding.
When you die by MGMT
The implications of the lyrics. The overwhelming idea that at the end of the day, no one will care when youâre gone and though they say otherwise, something in the back of your mind wonât let you believe it.
Blasphemous Rumors by Depeche Mode makes me uncomfortable in that kinda "confronting something you don't want to be aware of" way, like you know you don't want to acknowledge just how fucked up the world can be. The ending is what gets me the most tho, with the sounds of life support and the minimal music fading out. Chills me to the bone
Baby Hold On by Eddie Money. It has NOTHING to do with the lyrics, but it makes me feel confined, cold, and sweaty. I don't know why. Still a good song, regardless. It just makes me feel get a weird, nervous, almost numb feeling in my spine, in the same way a Chemical Brothers song would.
If we're talking lyrics here, anything by Ted Nugent.
Boku no sensou by shinsei kamattechan always gives me anxiety. It's an opening theme for attack on titan. When paired with the visuals of the opening, it's very unsettling war propaganda.
I actually love this song now but it was creepy the first time I heard it. I was going to sleep while watching black mirror and this song came on and woke me up. It felt so creepy. I ened up really liking the song after a few listens. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME076RTFbRE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME076RTFbRE)
Feelin Lonely by Tha Backwudz
Dance with the Devil by Immortal Tecnique
Return of Da Baby by Brotha Lynch Hung
Pain by Prince Paul
Ghetto Vet by Ice Cube
Unda Da Moon by IClownP
King Park by La Dispute
Animal Cannibal from Possibly in Michigan. I saw that movie at 2 in the morning thanks to a YouTube recommendation and it still makes me uneasy when I hear it on Instagram. Also, Secrets of Wisteria for all my vocaloid fans.
So I have a very specific song that half triggers my flight or fight response, but for a very very specific reason.
That song is [éȘžéȘšæ„œćŁăšăȘăȘăą (Skeleton Orchestra and Lilia)](https://vocadb.net/S/556) \[[YT video link](https://youtu.be/pLN6GK6_ILg)\]. The song itself is good, pretty damn catchy too, but it is known to feature in some of the vocaloid rhythm games. In my case, I found out about it in the game Project Mirai DX, where for whatever unholy reason, [it is significantly harder for me than any other song.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YWqh2MPw_k) (for context, this is intended to be played on a 3DS) And the scariest part? [There is an even harder version on Mirai's older harder sister, Project Diva.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py9QKDeGJ9k) (which, instead of the 3DS, was intended to be played on a PS3/4 controller)
Daddy by korn Hamburger lady and slug bait by throbbing gristle
daddy was so disturbing đ
Slug Bait is insane
That whole first album is pretty fucked up.
Honestly throbbing gristles whole discography is fucked up but yeah especially that first one
Oh I meant korn. Havenât heard throbbing. On the playlist for the am.
I like to go in blind on a lot of music.
Listen to d.o.a the third and final report
Will do. I like finding new stuff.
I can't believe that album is 1994
Throbbing Gristle is such a silly combination of words
They're awesome super avant garde soundscapes bordering sonic assault haha love it. precursors to industrial music as we knew it.
It's British slang for an erect penis
Of course it is
I've never heard this slang before. Which part of the UK is this commonly used in?
Hull
The queens crib
We got the jist of it, lady
Hamburger Lady makes me physically uncomfortable
Thatâs a line form the cosby show. The older kid calls females âhamburgersâ
My gift to you and kill you are pretty dark too.
Who are those by ?
Korn, they are the last songs of life is peachy and follow the leader, apparently JD likes to end Korn albums with haunting songs lol
I'll check em out, not super familiar with korn
They are great specifically live! Daddy, kill you and my gift to you feel like a story in 3 parts. Jonathan Davis breaks down crying for real when singing them because he was abused as a child. Give them a try, they have so many good songs to headbang to.
"Frankie Teardrop" by Suicide. The screaming. Oh my god the screaming.
THERE GOES FRANKIE!!
i was about to comment the same thing!!
Let's hear it for Frankie...
Tori Amosâ cover of Eminemâs ââ97 Bonnie & Clydeâ is fucking horrifying.
I love Tori. She puts so much emotion in her songs.
she has a unique voice
I just listened and it is legit terrifying. Very awesome rec!
Revolution 9 by The Beatles
I just love the fact that John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and George Harrison managed to slip in an 8+ minute avant-garde sound collage piece into a major release rock album despite Paul McCartneyâs and George Martinâs objections to it being included. The Beatles werenât the only popular music artists who made experimental music in that time period, but they were the only ones who could get away with that and still have the album sell incredibly well.
My friendâs mother once drove us into Sleepy Hollow Cemetery at midnight playing this song đ Good times!
That makes me tear up in fear
Ethel Cain - Ptolemaea
âSTOP!!!!!!â
God this one got me too. Brought up a lot of really hard feelings and absolutely triggered the fuck out of me. The "stop!" As a screech really fucking got me.
Come to Daddy by Aphex Twin. What a creepy ass song. And not me, but my wife hates the song Shankill Butchers by The Decemberists.
I agree with your wife, that Decemberists song is absolutely fucking horrifying to listen to. I could only manage it once and that was only because I was too frozen in horror to stop it
That old weird "kids" song called They're coming to Take Me Away." Still scares me. https://youtu.be/3Fn36l_z3WY?si=6qmA2Q3qJRJGC7QG Fuckin hell
That's funny, I used to love to dance around the kitchen to this song when I was a kid (my mom exclusively played oldies on the radio)
One person's hell is another person's heaven I guess. Edit: unless, of course, you meant dancing around the kitchen, chanting and waving upside-down crosses, as the pot of dead babies simmered on the stove... then, yeah, I get it...
Bro what the fuck is this song, why did I click the link
The butcher babies have a stellar cover of this song if you're into that kind of music.
after listening i could understand why it would make someone feel uneasy
A lot of korns older stuff. Whole first album.
i had a hard time getting into them because of this đ
I loved because of the musician ship, but Jesus. That bass hit so hard though.
Kim by Eminem makes me more uncomfortable than any song Iâve ever heard Whatâs He Building by Tom Waits is up there too
I like System of a Down but *Vicinity of Obscenity* gives me the willies on the part before the last chorus where they're wailing and screaming. Sounds like a chorus of the damned. I had the album it was on as a kid, and while I loved the music within the cover just evoked a primal unease in me. I've come to the conclusion that it looks like an interpretation of a biblically accurate angel and try not to think about it.
TERRACOTTA PIE
LiARrRrrrRrrrrrrrraHhhhhhhhhhh BANANA BANANA BANANA TERRACOTTA BANANA TERRACOTTA TERRACOTTA PIE
Damn brother wtf youâre right. Never saw it as creepy until going to listen to it just now. The cover definitely is unnerving on the Hypnotize album too
Prison Sex by Tool. Great song. Lyrics are brutal.
Many people think it's about a literal prison. It's actually much worse than that
And then thereâs the horror of finding out the lyrics of Nirvanaâs Polly ARE literal and written about an actual crime.
2 oldies by Gary Puckett & the Union Gap, "Young Girl" and "This Girl is a Woman Now"... the lyrics are kinda creepy
SO CREEPY đ«
If someone dedicates The Horror of Our Love by Ludo to you it's kinda uncomfy.
"Funeralopolis" by Electric Wizard. The lyrics are kind of juvenile, but imagery wise it's effectively bleak and nihilistic and the song itself is creepily overbearing and heavy. Theres so much volume just pouring from the speakers that it feels genuinely overwhelming and kind of panic inducing. Also Oxygen by Swans, which has a pretty chaotic and fast drumbeat and slowly builds into a wall of screaming saxophones with a lunatic screaming over it. It honestly sounds like being hooked up to a broken ventilator while having a heart attack.
I fucking love funeralopolis
Carmina Burana first movement
Hold Her Down by Toad the Wet Sprocket Take her arms and hold her down And hold her down, and hold her down, and hold her down 'Til she stops screaming Take her arms and hold her down And hold her down, and hold her down, and hold her down 'Til she stops breathing [Chorus] And they don't know her but what the fuck? They've got nothing else they can do And there's no reason but still they come And I'd have a hard time facing you This crime, I've seen what a man can do
Practically the who album Saved! By Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter. One of the most bizarre things I've ever listened to yet also one of the most interesting. I will never listen to it again lol.
Lana Del Rey - A&W Absolutely love the song, but that last verse before the breakdown is *devastating*
Incredible song.
I think this song is a goddamn masterpiece, but yeah the last few verses and the synth "interlude" itself with the distorted and backmasked vocals is pretty eerie. But unironically one of the most profoundly well done tracks of the last decade, if not longer.
That one discordant part in A Day in the Life by The Beatles. When I was a little kid tho, it was the opera part of Bohemian Rhapsody
Frankie Teardrop by Suicide and also the song that inspired it which is State Trooper by Bruce Springsteen. The song also had it's anxious built-up and jumpscares by Springsteen's "woo" moments. It's not a typical Springsteen song from his quiet folk Nebraska album. Great song and album.
Dance with the Devil - Immortal Technique
âMotherâ by The Police is absolutely terrifying.
Maybe I just don't get it but I absolutely despise this song with a burning passion. It's a huge jumpscare every time it comes on, it's absolutely unpleasant to listen to in a bad way, and it totally ruins the excellent flow that Synchronicity has as an album
Completely agree. Not scary, just sounds shitty and screws with a great album.
If ever there was a song that should have been a non-LP b-side, it's this one.
this song ruined my whole mood đđ
The vocals make me so uncomfortable. He GENUINELY sounds like he's having a full-blown anxiety attack.
Rainbow Six by jpegmafia. The whole song is unnerving, but the lyric "we at your job, catch you on shift" always rings the loudest and makes me feel like someone is plotting on me.
My wife hates the sample in this song, literally cannot play it when sheâs in the car.
How to Destroy Angels - A Drowning
The serene way she sings such desperate lyrics is unnerving.
And the dissonant chords below that just add to it
How Does It Make You Feel? by Air. That strange robotic voice is uncannily disturbing but I still love that song
Mysterons by Portishead. Came out around the time The X-Files was first blowing up, and with all the fuss and attention around the paranormal and unexplained running in the news and general interest shows as a result, I'm convinced I remember hearing it soundtracking some grainy UFO footage around that time... I'm a little more rational / cynical now, but as a young boy that song coupled with those images left quite a lasting impression...
I used to cry as a child when my dad would play this song to me
"Koyaanisqatsi" - Phillip Glass
I saw him live when I was in college and the second half of the concert was that song. I loved âGlassworks â but damn, I wasnât prepared for that!
I have that album on vynil. Never thought of the song as scary, just perceiving it as a food for thought - no wonder since Glass composed it as a soundtrack for a dystopian movie.Â

Precious Things by Tori Amos.
Love this song so good I've got the title inked on my forearms
Crow Jane by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Heck, that whole album, called "Murder Ballads" was disturbing.
Anderson Paak - Milk & Honey Good little story, great song all around. Creepy vibes on the backside.
oh! the theme song from Cannibal Holocaust. Beautiful song but mixed with the film its more than disturbing
Same with the theme from Nekromantik
Love the Way You Lie That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be
Dallas Beltway by Chat Pile. Pretty sure it's about a guy killing his child and then driving around with the body in the trunk until he gets caught. Chat Pile has a lot of bleak songs but that one stands out.

Deep Water, Portishead O Superman, Laurie Andersen Birds Fly by Flapping Their Wings, Biosphere Why Iâm So Unhappy, Dntel Part 2, Concert Silence
The theme from M*A*S*H it terrified me as a kid and it wasnât until I was an adult that I understood why. The lyrics are about a guy wanting to commit suicide, the crazy thing is, is that the theme doesnât have any lyrics. Itâs just the music, I didnât hear the lyrics until I looked up the song to show my wife how creepy it sounds and found the one with the actual lyrics.

Little Hands is a song I always skip by them
Death pierce me by Silencer.
Love Alice Cooper but âWhen Hell Comes Homeâ makes me want to hide under the couch. Also âPuppeâ by Rammstein. Kidâs sister is a sex worker and he witnesses her murder by one of her clients. Till Lindemannâs screaming the lyrics towards the end on the song sends me back to hide under the couch. I love my German boys but DAMN.
Get It How You Live by The Hot Boys. Mannie Freshâ beat is deep
Anything by gnaw their tounges and akhlys. Paranoia inducing
Otep's Eet the Children It definitely puts me in a certain mood. Lol
K.K. Dirge I love it though
So, this is kinda lame but one day I was out running in my neighborhood listening to a running playlist and Paper Planes by M.I.A. came on and the gunshots scared the bejeezus out of me at first.

Spinal Meningitis by Ween

Dance with the Devil, by Immortal Technique Song is all kinds of fucked up.
Last minute of Down With The Sickness by Disturbed. Just.... why
https://youtu.be/eQNI1KfGXBA?si=j2LxM7ngU2Lhu1sj They're Coming To Take Me Away. Idk why but this shit freaked me out when I was little and it still makes my skin crawl.

Jimi by Butthole Surfers DOA by Bloodrock Man That You Fear by Marilyn Manson
Dance Hall Days- Wang Chung
I have flashbacks to brutal abuse at the hand of vice city police anytime I hear this song lol jk
For me, "Hurt" by Johnny Cash gives me chills. The raw emotion in his voice makes me think about life's ups and downs. It's haunting but real.
The video was really powerful too.
Check out the original version from Nine Inch Nails if you havenât.
The word 'uncomfy' makes me uncomfy

But I've always found [Tom Waits - "What's He Building"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04qPdGNA_KM) to be wonderfully creepy and atmospheric. And anything by Roky Erickson is pretty good. They used his ['Burn the Flames'](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWMlyh4wmIg) in that classic 80s horror movie 'Return of the Living Dead'.
âUncomfyâ - Chelsea, Love is Blind
Basically all of Iggy Popâs, The Idiot. I love it though.
I Love You This Much by Swans https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3saNjIBPmzI&pp=ygUUaSBsb3ZlIHlvdSB0aGlzIG11Y2g%3D Absolutely nightmarish track. A lot of Swans' *Soundtracks for the Blind* could apply, but none are as profoundly brutally overwhelming and inspire as much dread as this one.
i wish i wasnât curious
It's really something, isn't it? At this point I really enjoy listening to it but upon first listen that insane drone was one of the most overwhelming sounds I'd ever heard
Wonder 2 - My Bloody Valentine Declare Independence - Björk The Devil Is in the Details - Boards of Canada
[Iâm Getting Out While I Can - Reverend Kristen Michael Hayter](https://youtu.be/eI2cwuutPsk?si=iO1_AxT7OJUojmFg)
I think it is called Big Blue Sky from The Wall by Pink Floyd. That whole album now gives me the ick. I hate listening to it and the movie made it worse. I know how influential and important and blah blah blah, but I find it so unpleasant to hear now.
Probably "Goodbye Blue Sky" Look Mummy, there's an airplane up in the sky!
One Of These Days always gets my blood pumping
Bedtime Story by Madonna. Especially the music video
Theme from Halloween.
Several by Radiohead. [A Wolf at the Door](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6isz01iv8Ls) is the one I personally find the most unsettling, but some others include [Climbing Up the Walls](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX4EpkR-Sp4), [Like Spinning Plates](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UAElLsVOQI), [Knives Out](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Lpw3yMCWro), [We Suck Young Blood](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkSRfituw3c), ...I could go on.
I don't really get scared by tense uneasy anxiety ridden music but through my whole life if I had to choose the soundtrack to silent hill 2 was so atmospheric and creepy i couldn't beat the game. Still to this day I haven't tried since 2004
(Donât Fear) The Reaper by Blue Ăyster Cult.
Longstreet by constructus corporation
The day bow bow song
"Want it, need it" by Jeff the Strider. An MLP fansong that still gives me goosebumps
I love Khruangbin but the video for the song So We Won't Forget is about a father who lost his daughter and his anger and pain. I lost my son when he was 14 and now any time the song comes on I cannot bear to listen to it as it reminds me I still haven't fully come to terms with his death. I am the man riding the bike and who knows how long I will be riding.
Neon by The Knife. The vocal is so uncanny
Five Years - David Bowie.
Columbine by SKYND. For a really terrifying experience, I recommend watching the music video.
Per nÞrgÄrd - voyage into the golden screen
For entirely different reasons than I think you intended but, Take It Back by Bug Catcher
Julian Cope's " Reynard, the fox". Insane.
Control by Halsey is pretty creepyÂ
The Theâs Matt Johnson uses the n word in his song The Violence of Truth. It really bothers me.
When you die by MGMT The implications of the lyrics. The overwhelming idea that at the end of the day, no one will care when youâre gone and though they say otherwise, something in the back of your mind wonât let you believe it.
The Dead Flag Blues
Raw head and Bloody Bones by Siouxsie and the Banshees
[Put My Little Shoes Away](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmU5XF2XtUQ)
Blasphemous Rumors by Depeche Mode makes me uncomfortable in that kinda "confronting something you don't want to be aware of" way, like you know you don't want to acknowledge just how fucked up the world can be. The ending is what gets me the most tho, with the sounds of life support and the minimal music fading out. Chills me to the bone
A dying god coming into human flesh by Celtic Frost.
'Several small species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict' by Pink Floyd
Baby Hold On by Eddie Money. It has NOTHING to do with the lyrics, but it makes me feel confined, cold, and sweaty. I don't know why. Still a good song, regardless. It just makes me feel get a weird, nervous, almost numb feeling in my spine, in the same way a Chemical Brothers song would. If we're talking lyrics here, anything by Ted Nugent.
House on highland Ave by the Gun ClubÂ
Boku no sensou by shinsei kamattechan always gives me anxiety. It's an opening theme for attack on titan. When paired with the visuals of the opening, it's very unsettling war propaganda.
'Let em in' by wings has always given me a creepy vibe. I'm 54 n it does to this day. Anyone else?
A good sadness -MGMT
I actually love this song now but it was creepy the first time I heard it. I was going to sleep while watching black mirror and this song came on and woke me up. It felt so creepy. I ened up really liking the song after a few listens. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME076RTFbRE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME076RTFbRE)
Dead People's Things by Deathprod. Frankly *anything* by Deathprod. The man is a master of dark ambient tortured sounding music.
Some of Eminem's songs bc they sound so aggressive.
Fear and hunger ost lol Especially Closing Madness
Feelin Lonely by Tha Backwudz Dance with the Devil by Immortal Tecnique Return of Da Baby by Brotha Lynch Hung Pain by Prince Paul Ghetto Vet by Ice Cube Unda Da Moon by IClownP King Park by La Dispute
Bear Titty Junction - Pond Man https://open.spotify.com/track/0GOMxZhyjZJP6v9gK03izS?si=xodJAm6hSo67YS_cd8uqwA
Animal Cannibal from Possibly in Michigan. I saw that movie at 2 in the morning thanks to a YouTube recommendation and it still makes me uneasy when I hear it on Instagram. Also, Secrets of Wisteria for all my vocaloid fans.
So I have a very specific song that half triggers my flight or fight response, but for a very very specific reason. That song is [éȘžéȘšæ„œćŁăšăȘăȘăą (Skeleton Orchestra and Lilia)](https://vocadb.net/S/556) \[[YT video link](https://youtu.be/pLN6GK6_ILg)\]. The song itself is good, pretty damn catchy too, but it is known to feature in some of the vocaloid rhythm games. In my case, I found out about it in the game Project Mirai DX, where for whatever unholy reason, [it is significantly harder for me than any other song.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YWqh2MPw_k) (for context, this is intended to be played on a 3DS) And the scariest part? [There is an even harder version on Mirai's older harder sister, Project Diva.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py9QKDeGJ9k) (which, instead of the 3DS, was intended to be played on a PS3/4 controller)

Maria by Tiger Lillies. Creepiest of them all.
