1. Batushka- Litourgiya
Polish metal band Batushka has only one release out, Litourgiya and boy oh boy does it sound evil. The chanting in Old Church Slavonic that functions dually as an effect and a lead vocal makes for one experience that will leave you haunted. The creepier part is that nobody knows who they are, though it is known that they're from well known bands.
Listen to Litourgiya here
2. Stallagh-Projekt Misanthropia
Dutch Combo Stallagh made one of the most horrific, painful and scary releases I've ever heard, combining noise with the sounds of mental patients agonized screams of hallucination and derangement. Overall, this is 35 minutes of sheer noise terror, and a great listen for any fan of noise and really anybody whose adventurous enough to listen to it.

3. Throbbing Gristle- The Second Annual Report
I'll admit, I'm not sure what the hell I listened to here, but I was given a true sense of dread through the whole experience. Throbbing Gristle was a visual arts and music collective in the 70's and I won't dwell much on their history. But overall, this whole experience was terrifying to say the least, with haunting noises, distortion and noise in abundance.

4. Deathspell Omega - si monvmentvm reqvires, circvmspice Deathspell Omega is an avant garde black metal band from France, and giving this record a listen through and through, I can say it gave me the feeling that I was given after reading Dante's Inferno. The first track leads you down this trail of darkness and dispair that is second to none in terms of their genre besides oldschool Burzum or some of the Behemoth demos from the 90's. Listen here 5. Dir En Grey- Vulgar I think what made this record terrifying was the industrial metal on top of how the Japanese language can sound when spoken oddly whilst singing or done in metal vocal style. Let's not forget, the track Obscure is on this, with one of the most disturbing music videos I've seen just about ever. 6. Peter Sotos- Buyers Market In all seriousness this is just like a book, a story of dark evils that most don't come face to face with. We're kind of in love with these evils, at least we put an evil image on these acts. We still indulge in this media, which kind of also condones it. That's what columbine practically taught us. This record, whatever it is, is arguable evil, and I'm not sure it was ever TRULY meant to be listened to, at least not without being disturbed thoroughly. I don't even want to put a link to it, find it on your own, putting a HEAVY trigger warning on this one. 7. Ramleh- Hole in the Heart Ramleh is a British experimental noise act, using influences of Power Electronics, as well as noise rock. This record from what I've heard is simply put, a cyberpunk nightmare in a way, like something you'd expect to hear while experiencing a cyberpunk, dystopian nightmare trip through an unrecognizable world. Listen to the record here, it's a playlist 8. Burzum-self titled(1992) This made the list because of how poorly recorded it sounds, it sounds like some sort of cheap 80's psychotic slaughter soundtrack. However it is quintessential to any Black Metal fan as Burzum is what many people think to first when thinking of Black Metal. Plus let's not forget the crimes committed by everyone's favorite, Varg. Listen here 9. De Magia Veterum-Eradication+Thorns I heard about this one through my research on the subject not only of Black Metal but also on scary fucking bands. And this one definitely makes my list, because it sounds like something out of fucking hellraiser. I can just imagine pinhead doing some evil shit to some poor fucker to this whole record. Listen here 10. Kriegsmaschine- Enemy of Man Kriegsmaschine, which translates to War Machine in German, made this record in 2014, and it totally went under my radar. The groove it has to it, on top of the phenomenal vocals and drums make for a haunting experience, totally. Listen here Honorable mentions Carach Angren- Where the Corpses Sink Forever
