What is the most scary in prog? For me, any song of The Residents scares me... Shub Niggurath is pretty disturbing too, but not as The Third Reich'n Roll  |

One of my first musical loves was the dark and scary world of early industrial music. Albums by Throbbing Gristle, Coil, Skinny Puppy, SPK, Current 93 and Nurse With Wound can be downright terrifying... just the way I like it!

The Residents' music seems purely satirical to me; I can't listen to any of their albums without laughing, especially Third Reich. I mean, come on. If their cover of "Horse With No Name" isn't the most hilarious song ever put to record, then I don't know what is. ------------- "When God created Republicans, he gave up on everything else." - Frank Zappa |

| I'm surprised nobody mentioned Klaus Schulze's first two albums. Those two just give me nightmares. Also, Iced Earth's "Dante's Inferno", although not prog per se, is still pretty damn scary. Let's not forget "Lark's Tongue in Aspic, Pt. 1"- I always feel the part after the percussion intro is the soundtrack to someone going to hell. Oh jeez, there's too much creepy prog out there lol. |

| Like others, I don't really find any music scary. However, I can see On the Run by Pink Floyd at a high volume possibly inspiring fear in a child. Also, a few of the songs from Sleepytime Gorilla Museum's Of Natural History can be spooky. Now, if you were to say "haunting" instead of "scary", then the list would grow exponentially. |

Greetings fright fans! Horror connisseur Textbook here to way in on some particularly spooky tracks though there isn't room for everything. If you're pressed for time I advise you to just do Wire's Practice Makes Perfect. (If you can tell me what that song is actually about I'd appreciate it.) And also advise you to sometime find the opportunity to hear The Cure's Subway Song.
I cannot believe no one has mentioned either Scott Walker's The Drift or The Mars Volta's Frances The Mute, both of which are among the best examples of horror music that I can think of.
I think the Scott Walker track Clara is actually the most unsettling piece on The Drift but I couldn't find a clip so here's Cue instead. Listen to Clara, really loudly, in the dark, by yourself, if you ever get a chance. In the meantime, please proceed to listen to this, very loudly, in the dark, by yourself. The whole thing.
There's something not quite right about this song. Ignore the silly video- another one to sit through in the dark.
Pink Floyd's Bike may or may not have been intended as a carefree jape but I find something very sinister about it.
A spooky classic from Throbbing Gristle, one of the masters of horror music.
Frankie Teardrop by Suicide, another one to endure slowly in the dark.
Rare case of spooky hip-hop from Dalek. They have a more frightening song called A Beast Caged but I couldn't find it on Youtube. This one actually isn't that scary but it certainly gives you an idea of how demented produced Octopus is.
Subway Song by The Cure is a classic horror song, a must listen. Pulled off Youtube unfortunately. When you get near the end, don't be holding any hot drinks.
Depeche Mode are not so much scary but there is something quite dark and sinister about much f what they do. Investigate this video for instance. Nothing outright frightening but something really isn't right.
A number of David Bowie and Joy Division songs could go here too but I can't go on forever. I'll give you the non-album Radiohead chiller Paperbag Writer.
And for a grand guignol, if you are very brave, hunt down Nurse With Wound's Homotopy To Marie. You'll be sorry once you have.
Edit: Oops, two more.
This one is just PERFECT for listening to coming home late at night alone on a decrepit tube train.
And I couldn't resist one more Throbbing Gristle easy listening classic.

Also an honorable mention to Manic Street Preachers' The Holy Bible which is one of the most evil feeling albums I know despite not having outright horror moments as such.
I'm aware a lot of what I'm repping isn't prog but when you get into horror music you get into experimental, avant garde places very rapidly. None of this stuff is mainstream.

When I heard Scott Walker's The Drift there was a sense of incredible darkness about it. the sounds of tortured animals is as disturbing as it gets. I could not bring my self to hear any of The Cure as I have hated them for years, but Sunn O))) tracks were quite disturbing. Pink Floyd's 'Careful with that axe eugene' is a psych chiller. For sheer horror watch the video to Aphex Twin's 'Come to daddy' I seriously cannot watch that anymore. -------------

We forgot Kate Bush, who can sound the wrong side of sane on her mainstream material. But when she's actually singing a spooky song, watch out.
Morrissey has a voice with a great capacity to be haunting but actually spooky songs are rare from him. Here's a chilling exception though, the extraordinarily cruel Lifeguard Sleeping Girl Drowning, where Morrissey almost seems to secretly relish the girl's death.

You know, I listened to Revolution 9 ast night and it doesn't even seem weird to me anymore. I listen to so much more avant garde stuff these days that it sounds pretty tame in comparison. I'm not trying to knock it, since I still love it, but it just doesn't strike me as quite so "revolutionary" these days.There's no doubt, however, that it was incredibly advanceed for its time and very influential. -------------

They're not "scary" as such but several King Crimson songs, notably Starless, have something dark, dreadful and unknowable at their heart. We should probably also bring up Mr Bungle here who were capable of being genuinely alarming, particularly on Disco Volante.
I posted this song earlier in my original jumbo post but I suspect it got lost in the crowd. Now I want to highlight it by itself because I'd like comment on it. It scares the sh*t out of me but what exactly is it about? (Ignore the unofficial video, I'm strictly speaking about the song.) The specific reference to Sarah Bernhardt (I know who she is but it doesn't help) suggests something particular was in mind but I really don't know what they were getting at here. It's Practice Makes Perfect by Wire and it should be listened to in the dark, alone, very loud, as usual.

Rare case of a creepy pop hit, Hazard by Richard Marx. Despite being one of the biggest songs of 1991, it gives me the heebie-jeebies.
More creepy rap, this time from Cage, real name Chris Palko. Both of these tracks are non-fiction, detailing his nightmare relationship with his heroin-addicted, dishonorably discharged father Bill Murray. Not that Bill Murray, as Stripes specifies. You might think you've heard this before with Eminem's mom songs, but not really, these are not funny but rather horrifying especially as Eminem was exaggerating for effect whereas these two songs are apparently literally true.

Yeah, I haven't actually listened to her yet but I've been tipped to. I should.
For sheer lyrical sickness, there's always Brother Lynch Hung, a rapper who more or less does what Cannibal Corpse does except with rap you get a lot more verbiage so it's even more offensive. Esham used to do similar stuff and there's also guys like Necro and Insane Clown Posse on similar tips. If you think you're hard to offend, these guys are kind of a test of that. More shocking than scary perhaps but Brother Lynch Hung's debut was genuinely creepy.

An album about the events that prompt the more socially dreadful ocurrances in life. Univers Zero pieces Emmantions and The Funeral Plain (or what ever Andy Kirk is writing.) And La Faulx. I've only the Diamanda Galas album Sporting Life (with JPJ) and that is quite scary. Also how JPJ managed to get my dressing gown I had then - to wear on the album cover , that gives me the creeps!

"Hand Of Doom" - Black Sabbath Probably the most frightening thing they ever recorded. "Running Gun Blues" - David Bowie Don't know what scarier: the subject matter or a crazed ex-soldier or the cheerful presentation of said subject matter. "Trust Us" - Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band I remember hearing "The path is truth and let the dying die" for the first time and having the warmth of my room being sucked out. Also: Theme from A Clockwork Orange "Heroin" - The Velvet Underground "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" - Pink Floyd "Lemmings" - Van Der Graaf Generator "The Knife" - Genesis ------------- He looks at this world and wants it all... so he strikes, like Thunderball! |

I´d say KC´s Fractured and some of Conrad Schnitzler´s stuff is pretty scary. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

Very interesting! I come to think of one music theme from the Resident Evil videogame which I realize is highly inspired by this!
Here is the "first floor" (by Masami Ueda, Makoto Tomozawa, Akari Kaida)
"the second floor" is probably my favourite song from that soundtrack. A great soundtrack. It's a variation of the"1st floor " , more elaborate.

That organ piece made me think of Eric Satie's "Messe des pauvres" for solo organ, a piece with strange harmonies I like very much . Towards the ending you could say it's a bit "scary". But it's more powerful and mystical than scary. ------------- http://www.lastfm.se/user/wilmon91" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

Bob Drake's "Skull Mailbox" is the only album that I think about at night and actually get spooked. ------------- There be dragons |
