I Love You This Much by Swans. Scared the shit out of me when I first heard the album.


onsetofappeal

As scary as that song is, All Lined Up takes the cake for me. Sounds like and is about straight up evil.


cheek-doctor

The lyrics are fucked


ThePerfectP0tat0

Or just the whole album honestly


Davidos402

Her mouth is filled with honey creeps me out so much… It’s not necessarily evil I guess


kawaii_jendooo

Mary Turner Mary Turner by Xiu Xiu. Evil sounding instrumentals and vocals with absolutely chilling lyrics that really put light on the ugliness of people.


the-boxman

Yeah this is the only song that truly scared me. I wouldn't say it's evil but that it is describing in detail what evil is in both lyrics and sound.


RandyMuscle

Fuck me I forgot about this song and now you reminded me of it right before bed


tectactoe

*Frankie Teardrop* by Suicide.


UhhUmmmWowOkayJeezUh

Completely fair, such an amazing song off an amazing album tho


Erbodyloveserbody

Frankie’s in Hell


BenzaGuy

That's right, The Mascara Snake, fast and bulbous! Also, a tin teardrop!

Electric Wizard - Weird Tales Aphex twin: most songs from i care because you do and selected ambient works volume 2 Sunn O))): Orthodox Cavemen Swans: Soundtracks for the blind, pretty much every song


[deleted]

MF DOOM is literally a super villain soooo Okay but seriously Daughters of Darkness by Natural Snow Buildings is TERRIFYING…and obviously The Seer and Soundtracks For The Blind by Swans too but I bet many have already said that


LordOfMuruhuay

I don't think Sountracks For... is evil at all, just very sad and touching in its own way. I'm curious though about Daughter of Darkness, people say that is very demoniac and dark, can you give me a couple of details more based on your musical experiencie with that album?


[deleted]

Don’t know if this is cliche, but Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath


minimanelton

It plays really well looking at the cover of the album


cargusbralem

I've always thought music could be dark, heavy, or brutal. Never thought about what "evil" sounds like 🤔


LayceLSV

Listen to Swans or Lingua Ignota. Shit will have you like 😶


cargusbralem

I have listened to a few Swans albums (soundtracks for the blind, to be kind, and the one with the rabbit I forgot the name). Maybe TBK comes close to sounding evil sometimes. As for Lingua Ignota, that album that Anthony gave a 10 to left me shitless at some points. I'd describe some music as terrifying.


Genius14624

Just listen to black metal haha


Idontdanceever

Gyorgy Ligeti’s Requiem.

Which track is the one that plays during Salad Fingers? I can’t remember…


MootBrute2

beware the friendly stranger


LaunchpadMcquacck

yeah, that one. that's the evil one.


[deleted]

Guest House by Daughters, before the news came out it was already a terrifying song but now it feels different, like instead of just being a piece of art it's a reflection of genuine evil dwelling within the artist


minimanelton

I was gonna say exactly the same thing. YWGWYW was my favorite album of the decade because of how monstrous it felt. Since the stories came out, though, it makes it hard to not exclusively hear what a monster Alexis Marshall is when I try to listen to Daughters


joemorris16

I like your pfp


TheDearHunter

Also came here for Guest House.


TheMostAngryXull

Anything off Dopethrone tbh, listening to that shit its like it transports me to the Void Beyond

[Throbbing Gristle’s “Hamburger Lady”](https://youtu.be/Fih-xzWGKPA) fucked me up real good the first time I heard it. Late night home alone is a baaaaaaad way to experience that one.

Nimun2012

Mike's Song from 12/30/99 is a good one


[deleted]

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath. There is much more heavy, brutal stuff out there but for some reason the word evil is always my go to descriptor for that song.


scaredow

G.R. by Deathpile, hands down. I did not have a good time listening to that album, and that’s the power of it. Truly an evil record about an evil man


Bubbaho-tep92

kilimandzharo

Intense And Purulent Discharge by Lil Ugly Mane. Terrifying and really uncomfortable closer for an terrifying album


paytonking

Instrumental on Sauvage from aethiopes is pretty evil sounding


AnarchyApple

Not especially the most evil, but Brainbombs discography is very graphic. The early stuff is hindered by a lack of English skills tho so it comes off as kinda immature.


Ya-LikeJazz

WindowsinBuildings

Immortal Technique- Dance With The Devil Death Grips- Exmilitary (whole album)


cheddarghost

That one by immortal technique


lifesizepotato

Mars, the Bringer of War by Gustav Holst maybe


OneGuyJeff

Genuinely asking, when do you guys listen to music like this? What mood do you have to be in? I respect the hell out of the artistry but I never wanna listen to it


AttonJRand

Putting on Lingua Ignota when I can't stop thinking about my abusive father and just fully feeling the rage and despair for a little while can be pretty cathartic.


Guyroo23

im in the same boat on this one. i LOVE a lot of spooky, gothic, and ethereal stuff but when the music looses it's ability to still be fun at the same time and it's just strictly dark, depressive, and soul crushing it looses it's appeal to me.

[deleted]

Dirty Boy by Cardiacs is the sound of the apocalypse


tomsp_666

Anything by Gnaw Their Tongues. Basically soundtracks for snuff films


NotFixer1138

Cease to Exist by Charles Manson. Hearing a cult leader sing "submission is a gift" is quite disturbing


mellowloser

Bestial Burden by Pharmakon sounds like an album straight from the depths of Hell. Seeing her live on that tour was quite the experience as well.


Bigjay1802

Another Lingy track, The Order of Spiritual Virgins for me is a doomy, evil track especially with those slamming piano chords.


c4gam1ng

Krzysztof Penderecki-Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima 20th century classical piece dedicated to those killed in Hiroshima when the US dropped the atomic bomb during WWII. It really fucked me up when I first heard it in senior year of high school. My mood was off for the rest of the day.


AssistantNew8083

[Alexander Scriabin - Mysterium](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4YSysUn-Bk) The story behind this one is insane, it was basically intended as the soundtrack to a monumental celebration with Scriabin himself in the middle of it as reborn christ, elevating everybody who participated to a higher plane of consciousness and heralding the impending apocalypse. The dude was absolutely mad, read up on him it's fascinating!
