the *scare the shit outta me* band recommendations thread.

[Xorv]

I want a band thats just so scary. That no matter where you play their music. Even in, lets say, a phil collins concert. People are gonna be a little

And when I mean scary, I don't mean brutal like devourment or exhumed. No, thats not scary. Thats just down right brutal and HEAVY! I want something along the lines of blut aus nord, but with less repetition.

Abruptum?

[Seditious]

Hymie's Basement?

[MalignParadigm]

Dark Tribe - In Jeraspunta - Die Rückkehr der tollwütigen Bestie
Sortsind - Sår

These should appease your needs.

Wormphlegm is going to leave everyone running around with their hands over their ears. The vocals are so fucking sick especially on their demo (In An Excruciating Way // it's one 30 minutes song but it's funeral doom so..)!

Hence the questionmark.

I can't really think of too many metal bands that I'd say sound genuinely scary. Dark ambient is much better at doing that. But it's not the kind of music that you put on and people would instantly go "oh no turn it off plz!" More the kind of music that can slowly instill a sense of dread upon you if you allow it to.

There's a very fine line between genuine creepiness and the over-the-top kind that is no longer credible. A lot of extreme metal that tries to be creepy crosses that line, where you can hear the band is trying to go for a creepy/evil sound but you don't really feel anything. I'd love to hear some metal that does pull it off though, I'm sure it must exist.

I've gotten that kind of feeling from listening to Lustmord. I once fell asleep while I had Lustmord playing and I starting having all these weird dreams and the whole time I could hear Lustmord in the background. It creeped me the fuck out.
