"Daddy" is still the most disturbing song to me, not just because of the subject matter, but because of Jonathan Davis' breakdown at the end. You can hear the pain in his voice when he's cry-screaming at his abuser, "I fucking hate you! Fuck you! You fucking ruined my life!"

I totally understand why people find the song disturbing - for me it was hugely cathartic in helping me cope with my own abuse from childhood. The rawness of it is very visceral, very moving and very validating. I feel for Davis. Quick edit because I had to go give it a listen again, and the part that I found the most uncomfortable about the whole track was at the end, after his breakdown and the silence of the track, there is a recording of who I assume is his dad yelling and being harsh. It reminds me of my abusive stepdad, and that is the hardest bit to get through. While the rest of the content is emotionally taxing, it is cathartic in the sense of Davis finally getting to express the hurt he as a child endured (as pretty much most content on the list, ha). That last little bit on the track after the silent stretch has a tendency to catch me off guard, too. I'll be lost in thought after the main song, wont notice the silent stretch then I'll be startled out of disassociation by someone being an asshole. Ah, trauma songs. Sorry for the ramble.

It strikes me every time it sneaks up on me, ignites that child-like fear when step-dad would get on his bullshit, that tape was my normal. I'm sure there are a few arguments recorded of my parents somewhere, not that the intent was to capture the argument, they just crop up because assholes are always looking for one. Whew!

The group I hung out with in high school didn't know I was being abused by my mother's friend's son and one of the guys put on Daddy by Korn, thinking it was just a creepy song he was gonna spook us with. Then I started having a panic attack and one of the other guys turned it off for me. Also I was high at the time, having smoked some pot. So not sure if that made things better or worse 🤔 🙃

Most of the songs on A Promise and Fabulous Muscles are, so far as I am aware, based on stories either from Jamie Stewart's own life or those of people he'd met, friends and family members. "Blacks", "Brian the Vampire" and "Nieces Pieces" are especially dispiriting in this light.

You’re absolutely right. I was very surprised to not see it mentioned on here, since it’s probably the most vile, awful and disturbing piece of music I’ve ever heard (and this is coming from a harsh-noise and death industrial enjoyer). When I was listening through Girl With Basket of Fruit for the first time, it was not until I had listened through “Mary Turner, Mary Turner” that I wanted to turn the music off and go throw up. The lyrics is what got me, as well as the haunting voice of Jamie Stewart sounding like a tortured spirit haunting an old cassette tape. I absolutely adore Xiu Xiu and all of their projects - and I am of course happy that they raised awareness on an actual event that happened in our so-called “Land of The Free” - but I haven’t listened though that album in about five months solely because of that song. I’ll stick to my noise ‘till I’ve recovered enough to listen through it again.

I need to suggest Uboa and her album "The Origin Of My Depression", lyrically it tackles themes of gender dysphoria, the objectification of trans people, and the loneliness and suffering that's attached to it. The instrumentals are very dark, abrasive, and sorrowful, and downright terrifying at times; listening to this album is difficult, but you’d be missing out if you didn’t. I find it kind of sad that when people find out about noise, they immediately get directed to acts like Merzbow and Vomir, and not gems like this.

Uboa is great, but one thing I do want to say is that her work is from a very different tradition from Merzbow or Vomir, so comparing the two seems… odd to me? Her work is more relevant to the more melodic end of power electronics and death industrial, such as later Sutcliffe Jügend or Theologian, whereas Merzbow's kind of an institution in his own right but has more in common with certain other eclectic Japanese noisers like KK Null, and Vomir is the quintessential wall noise guy, which is completely different from either of them and is almost more a conceptual art thing. They're part of different conversations. That said, there is actually a fair number of trans noise artists, which isn't so shocking all things considered. :P Niku Daruma (and by extension burnt-feathers), Turned Into A Girl, Scorpion Sound Source, Ragk and Winter Rose come to mind.

Also yeah, back in 1999, Korn's debut album was the hot LP to spin at parties and we all agreed we would never play "Daddy", the final track. One time we forgot to switch CDs beforehand. It was Not Fun!

It was recorded 3 days before Ian died and the lyrics are all about his mental state at the time and about how he is scared that when he dies, he will miss the people that loved him and about how he is crying for help but no one is listening.

Was wondering if that would be mentioned. Vocaloid in general is absolutely ripe with songs about horrible terrible things. Obviously, Kikuo's 'Gomenne Gomenne' needs a mention as probably one of the most well-known disturbing songs in that sphere. Though imo the worst one I've heard would be Dark Fairy TaleP's 'Caroll In Wonderland' - it's an awful, nasty song speculating on the whole 'Lewis Caroll was a p*do' rumor that I'm not sure was entirely responsible to create. 'Gomenne Gomenne' is more or less about the same subject matter (if actually more gruesome with the metaphor of being literally eaten,) but I afford it more lenience because I don't believe it's about a specific event or real people - though correct me if I'm wrong. I really could go on about all the nasty songs that are out there but this comment is way too long already.

Also 4st 7lbs by Manic Street Preachers which is sorta goth grunge about anorexia. Very "Noise-like" inspired lead guitar with a ballad as an outro as the victim achieves 4st 7lbs the weight at which an adult person will apparently die.

A song that always comes to my mind when I think of disturbing definitely has to be Lisa Germano's "A Psychopath". The lyrics alone make you feel paralyzed and helpless. The use of an actual 911 call from a woman screaming in terror about a man breaking into her home (before supposedly raping and murdering her from what I've read about the backstory) always pushes it over the edge when I hear it. I remember when I first heard it, I immediately had my older sis listen to it (we both like darker songs) and she honestly went around the house locking the doors after it ended.

I have some generally disturbing song recommendations; The Man Who Watches Me Sleep by Salvia - an absolute banger, frequently discordant and has a suffocating vibe. The lyrics center around being trapped in a house by a captor, and build a narrative of absolute hopelessness. Salvia's visual art, drag, fashion, and image manipulation, is absolutely beautiful too and is worth checking out Bacterial Contamination by Kanimiso-P - considerably creepy in its sound, the lyrics tell the story of a person who is going through very harsh bullying, to the point of losing any outlet for safety. The lyrics could be interpreted in different ways, but there is definitely a theme of the cycle of abuse, the bullied becoming the bully, with a possibly more violent end than that. A vocaloid song Gomenne Gomenne by Kikuo - very disturbing tune, is a creepy banger but becomes blatantly distressing once you learn the lyrics. The lyrics are so disturbing that they are not allowed to be shown on the song's page in the vocaloid wiki. They tell the story of a girl being sexually abused by her father, and are very triggering. Also a vocaloid song. Kikuo is an absolutely amazing musician, and their other music is absolutely worth a listen. Hitogawari, also by Kikuo - a very passionate, desperate, vocal song. It's about a girl's inability to be able to recover from abuse, finding herself unable to accept a normal, non-abusive form of love from her significant other. The singer's performance in this song is absolutely amazing, oozing with desperation

MAN ITS SO COOL. also probably about having an eating disorder which is not scary to me but that is because I Have One. daijoubu-p is pretty well known for being somewhat of a massive troll, all of his music is really noisy and discordant and usually about spooky scary things like murder. i think it's kinda funny but i also realize daijoubu-p is rather A Lot for people who don't listen to music like that. also the art featured in a lot of his MVs scare me very badly but this is because im very frightened by images and theyre probably not That scary. my favorite track by him is "the face" and i forget what his other tracks are called im sorry

@@maizie3921 Masa's music is good, but to me it is a bit repetitive in both theme and in production. It really doesn't disturb me, especially because the songs lyrics are largely based off of (Japanese) folk tales, stuff that just isnt real. The themes of the songs that I mentioned above, especially Gomenne Gomenne, are in my opinion a lot more personal, realistic, and unfortunately relatable, which is what makes them disturbing to me. I have been exposed to horror and gore for a large part of my life though, so I am desensitized to themes like the Fox's Wedding that are mostly surface level gore horror. Thirsty by hikkie-p is pretty good, but the lyrics are kind of too vague to disturb me, which is almost definitely just from an iffy translation. daijoubu-p's music is kind of hit or miss ofc, but over all the production of the songs and definitely the manipulation of the vocaloid's voices works very well to make a disturbing song, the lyrics just really need something more, except for tracks like the face which are pretty well off in that field. its okay to be scared of things, that just means you arent desensitized by the internet and media which is good lol

maybe not the most disturbing music out there, but alice glass's (formerly of crystal castles) "FAIR GAME" deeply unsettles me as a very raw retelling of the long-term emotional abuse she experienced at the hands of her former bandmate. the lyrics feel very real and almost like direct quotations, and the chorus line "where would you be without me?" cuts deeply both in the voice of her abuser and equally in alice's own voice, throwing his words back at him.

Definitely! This is one of those "Thank You for suggesting this, now I don't have to" moments. Even if you somehow just 'happened upon' this album without a clue as to what it's about, you still get this really powerful sense of something incredibly important just slipping away from you and, it's vital that you can catch hold of a bit of it while you can still remember what it was about it that was so terribly precious in the first place..! Admittedly, I don't know _all_ of the songs mentioned here, and if I'm honest there's a few of them that I'm unlikely to seek out because I'm more psychologically in a place right now of "Really, do I even _need_ this sh|+ in my head, even - or especially - if it's stuff that's 'genuine' in its intent, and not Beavis & Butthead level "guts 'n' maggots all up in your face, dude!" kinda crap?! However there is something about Everywhere at the End of Time, an album about someone suffering the inexorable onset of dementia, which employs effects like '50's 'tea dance' type music becoming increasingly garbled and getting 'lost in the noise' like a distant radio station heard at night 'fading into the unknown'× which unsettled me considerably more than waking up in 'the horrors' from alcohol withdrawal in a pitch black room with Throbbing Gristle's 'Zyclon B. Zombie' and Crass' 'Reality Asylum' playing back - to - back was able to do! A _lot_ more - like, Existential~F%&kin'~Dread, literally..! There are worse things than losing one's mind (even as you're aware you're losing it) - being skinned alive, say, or the murder of one's child, but if you are someone who would find oneself simultaneously touched and terrified, as I was, by a story such as I heard a while ago of an elderly married couple that had been 'placed' in a nursing home suffering from Alzheimer's who barely knew who they even _were_ anymore, let alone who they were to each other, but who would sit out every day in the Day Room, fiercely gripping each other's hand because their love had, at least as yet, outlasted their actual memory of each other - they still knew, at the core of their being, how vital each was to the other..! (I should think one would feel like a monster prizing them apart for bed and so on, as per the rules and procedures of the facility!) then while this is not an album that will be on the playlist in many Goth crypts and would, without doubt, result in the venue being burned down if played at a Grindcore club, it will resonate _deeply_ with you, even if you can't bring yourself to play it more than once or twice a year. It's not like it's hard on the _ear..._ but it's a challenging listen! Even if I had the power, I would hesitate to make it 'prescribed listening' - I'm not trying to drive people _away,_ after all(!) but I would strongly, _strongly_ recommend this to anyone considering going into the field of Gerontology. Or to anyone who can bear to take a long look into the dark... [EDIT] ×For anyone living in the British Isles or much of Europe younger than, say their mid - 40's, this simile (metaphor?) is probably pretty meaningless, but hopefully it'll evoke recognition for those living in North America where AM radio is still 'a thing'!

As Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds go, "Skeleton Tree" has to the most disturbing, gut punch of an album in their catalog. It was written and recorded, mostly prior, but during the period of Cave's 15 year old son's death. What was written before his accidental passing from a fall sounds almost prophetic and what added after just applying the most harrowing of effects. It is an album about death and loss that a good majority of was completed before Cave suffered, what is likely, the most catastrophic loss of his life. On it His fairly consistent style sees radical changes into electronics, ambience, discordant notes, and a vibe that just wraps you a blanket of disquiet. Do yourselves a favor, if you want to hear an amazing album by an amazing artist while just getting all the joy dragged out of you in the best and worst of ways then listen to "Skeleton Tree." It reminds of a live performance from probably 20 years ago where Cave comes onstage and says, "tonight there are no happy songs," before launching into his band's set. The album can feel much like that because, even at the few high points, there are no happy songs.

Burzum is a great litmus test of critical reasoning. It is impossible to separate Varg's bigotry from his music, no matter how important it is to the black metal canon. Even his instrumentals are tinged with wyt supremacist ideology based on their titles and surrounding context ("Jesu død" comes from the album Filosofem, which is named after a wyt nationalist zine/magazine, for pity's sake.) But it is still possible to critically engage with -- and even enjoy -- challenging material like this. The opera world has done this for over a century with Richard Wagner, who was a notorious published (!) antisemite that also gave us "Here Comes the Bride"* and "Kill Da Wabbit"*, two songs that are just Normal And Unquestioned now. Horrible people can still produce good things, just like how a broken clock can still be right twice a day. It's how we engage with the material that is the most important. The Soft Pink Truth, a gay noise project and one half of Matmos, made a black metal covers album called Why Do The Heathens Rage? that analyses this very idea, and he wrote a lengthy essay/interview for Pitchfork expressing his concerns with and reasoning behind being an open queer and black metal fan -- very much worth the read and the listen. *these are not the real names of course but you can hear them in your head, eh?

I would say part of it is that there are aspects to Varg's early music and lyrics which resonate beyond the more troubling aspects of his persona even if they are enmeshed within them, in particular the clear spiritual significance of nature and very real isolation and despair in those words. It's a sentiment which he took to incredibly ugly, cruel conclusions, but there are lines along which connection is available. And I think that a lot of people don't like to admit that, that the art of someone who they find repulsive can touch something deep inside them, as if it says something repulsive about them because it acknowledges that shared humanity. Varg Vikernes is a pretty hateful human being, but his hatefulness does not erase his humanity even as it may obscure it.

"I Love Her All The Time", "Ghost Bitch", and "I'm Insane" from Bad Moon Rising are also quite unnerving as well.

I remember it being very striking to me at the time but I was also 10 years old and had no real taste in music. For the cherry on top I very specifically remember Gerardo Rivera leering and looking like a nonce after the clip played because the scene involved two teen girls smoking cigarettes with their toes and jumping on a bed.

But, like, they did not have any kind of restrictions on what I could play, so I had a massive "Goth Music" playlist that I'd bump constantly, and both Bela Lugosi's Dead and Red Right Hand were always in there. Maybe I'm just desensitized or something, but I always thought those songs was a lot of fun. It never occurred to me that others would take issue until one of my regulars came up to me after a set like "Dude, what the fuck." At least the other goths in the room got a kick out of it lol.

No, I agree. Both Bela Lugosi's Dead and Red Right Hand are amazing songs, neither of which are disturbing. Personally I find "Where the Wild Roses Grow" to be Cave's most disturbing song, as it's literally about murdering his lover and goes into detail about bashing her head in. Bauhaus's is probably "Three Shadows" which is just a weird song. That said, I think like half of Christian Death's stuff, and especially Rozz's Premature Ejaculations stuff, is more disturbing than anything Bauhaus or Nick Cave ever did.

But the fact it genuinely sounds so horrific and creates the feeling of a mental breakdown so well. Great song.

Cotton candy is just very unsettling to listen too. Masa’s more erratic horror songs are oddly calming to me and I’m not exactly sure why. There’s a producer called Babu-Chan who has quite a similar style to Kikuo in some songs. Their songs are very dark as well.

was really hoping you would mention ...a psychopath by lisa germano. it's one of the most upsetting songs i've listened to, if only because part of the backing track is a real 911 call. it was inspired by germano's own experience with being stalked, and how law enforcement/everyone ignores how women feel. i think germano's voice is very pretty but also, it's uhhh a difficult thing to listen to, especially if you have. any sort of trauma.

Two "disturbing songs" that come to mind without being in the usual noise/black metal genre would be "Orders from the dead" from Diamanda Galas (honestly, the whole discography is something else.) Rotting Christ did a "cover" of this song by basically layering a background soundtrack to her spoken words. The other one would be "Vinushuka" from a Japanese band called Dir en Grey. The video that accompanied it says more than just the song by itself. Humans are capable of a lot of atrocities, especially in war. Sometimes it's disturbing to come face to face with a collective agony on a personal level. Good list, though. Keep up the good work!

The last time I saw Skinny Puppy live they started the set with Convulsion. And the throng of bodies at the front of the stage didn't so much dance or mosh, but instead seemed to hypnotically shift across the floor as a single unit. One of the odder experiences I've managed to get out of a live show!

I don't get disturbed by music very easily, both instrumentally and lyrically, but the only song that genuinely disturbed me was "Only Acting" by Kero Kero Bonito. I mostly knew them for songs like Flamingo and Trampoline at that time, so when I stumbled on the song one night, I gave it a listen thinking it'd be like those. I was very, very wrong. The sudden noises caught me incredibly off guard and left me feeling greatly unconfortable, and when I found the music video later, it didn't make it any better.

Same lol. I just wanted to vibe to some pop in the car, so I put on the KKB playlist, and then the cursed noise began lol. It's nothing too bad, but if you are expecting something bright and cheery, it will catch you off guard. Supposedly they created that album (Time n Place) during a time when the band members were experiencing loss (e.g. Sarah Perry's budgie had passed away, and she learned her childhood home in Japan had been demolished), so it was kind of a "loss of innocence" album that had some more experimental/edgy stuff in it.

My disturbing song favourite is probably 'Dark Delight' by Sopor Aeternus. It's written in the perspective of François Bertrand, aka the Vampire of Montparnasse, who was the person the term 'necrophilia' was coined for. The lyrics are already very creepy (though a bit more poetic and ambiguous) but the instrumentals and shrieks in the beginning of the song make it sound even more disturbing.

My favorite disturbing song is Iowa by Slipknot. It's just so raw and genuine like knowing that Corey was as unhinged as he sounds is so. Augh. The ending is so good too like after that whole Experience you're left with the last droning note from the base for what feels like a little too long. Scissors is also really good too and I like how it goes backand forth from melodic to just noise.

Idk if Red Right Hand would be anywhere near the top of Nick Cave's most disturbing songs. From Her To Eternity, The Mercy Seat, Do You Love Me Part 2, Song Of Joy and Jesus Alone are very haunting. Also his songs from The Birthday Party are pretty disturbing, 6 Inch Gold Blade is probably the most extreme. Glad to see Frankie Teardrop on here!

Based on what you've said you like, I'd like to recommend Fairytale of Slavery by Miranda Sex Garden. I used to lie on the floor in the early AM and listen to that as a teen. They used to do madrigals and ended up using their classical training to do some fascinating dark wave stuff. It's really powerful and interesting.

If you wanted to reach back into historical folk music there’s some pretty groovy stuff like SO MUCH RACISM and “that murder that happened last week, but in rhyme!”, and “butterflies will eat my infant’s eyeballs if they don’t go to sleep right fucking now”. I have a book of folk songs written about train accidents and boy can a steam engine kill you in a lot of very unpleasant ways and boy do we ever know that from experience.

For disturbing songs, and something I find very bittersweet are musicians like Mili (songs like Bathtub Mermaid about destroying yourself for someone else with horror imagery), Lorn (Songs like Ghosts(s) 2 are mostly audio like all their songs but has a grand existential horror like many of their songs), White Ring (Songs like King, especially with the visuals from a certain German movie, make me cry), and Alice Glass (I love her music, and she has a lot of songs about her abuse. As someone who can relate, and grew up in the techno-punk/ witchhouse scene, songs like Forgiveness hit hard).

The most disturbing song I've ever heard is Mary Turner, Mary Turner by Xiu Xiu which is about the absolutely depraved lynching of a pregnant Black woman in the south. I love love Xiu Xiu and they make a ton of extremely disturbing music but this is their only song that I've only listened to once bc it made me physically nauseous and I can't bring myself to return to it. I highly recommend checking them out but it's a stark and horrific song about how depraved the racist conservative American south is

The entirety of "The Second Annual Report" by Throbbing Gristle is some of the most disturbing music one will ever hear. For anyone that hasn't heard of it, just listen to all of the variations of the song Slug Bait, on the album. One is a detailed first-person pov of a stalker breaking into a young couple's house, and torturing them in the middle of the night (Slug Bait Live at the ICA). Another uses a sickening audio sample of a serial killer talking about how he bashed in a 10 year old girl's head (Slug Bait Live at Brighton). Listen to the entire album in the dark at 3:00 a.m. and you won't be able to go to sleep for the rest of the night, due to total paranoia lol
