We actually do now know who Korn's Daddy is about....JD finally revealed it in some interview a while ago, considering during the band's anniversary tour where they played the S/T in its entirety to include the emotional closer. He points directly to his babysitter at the time as the "family friend" who abused him and his parents didn't believe him. That person is now deceased.
this is the Wyatt vids i appreciate. youve been exposed to some great music , often fringe, and i love it when you put me on to bands that i havent listened to b4. OnyA MATE
The cover of Reek of Putrefaction may be nothing special now, but back then… I remember how visibly upset the local record store guy got when we asked about the album, he was almost screaming “No, I don’t have that shit! Have you seen it? Those guys are fucking sick!”. Good old days.
"I Have A Special Plan For This World" is written by Thomas Ligotti and I knew it more as poem of his before I learned about his collaborations with Current 93. Anyone who is impressed by the lyrics I recommend his short fiction, "Nethescurial" traumatized me. Great video btw, I've heard maybe 20 of these - a few from each level - and think they're mostly great, I'll check out the rest (well, not all of them...)
I've been reading a collection of his short stories recently, have yet to been profoundly moved but its interesting. It is a great track for sure, I have had some interesting experiences listening to it.
Thanks for re uploading, great video as usual! One additional release to “Uncanny” tier: Fleurety - A Darker Shade of Evil It has a very weird and distinct vocal style, and what makes it disturbing to me is vocalist permanently damaged his vocal cords because of this record and was not able to perform again in the future
Fleurety is absolutely fucking outstanding! The compilation I won't dare try to sell has some great material. The last one White Death was quite good, and I enjoyed the EP as well. Some of the best riffs I have ever heard!
Type O Negative's World Coming Down could fit in tier 1. With the song White Slavery about cocaine addiction and songs like Everyone I Love Is Dead and Everything Dies dealing with loved ones dying. Overall emotionally driven, but instrumentaly heavy album. Maybe not so much "disturbing" as it is depressing, but then again, maybe so depressing that it could be borderline disturbing.
First off, Nicole 12 is social commentary. There's no real "depiction" except one song in particular where he's speaking from the view of an abuser. Psuedoscorpion also doesn't exist. Aside from that, fire video. You're the first person I've ever seen actually cover bryan Lewis Saunders. You're the only reviewer I can stand
@@aserrano6454 pseudoscorpion is real, there are alot of fake versions but there is an "album" floating around limewire and soulseek that is just a compilation of aural pedophilia content and supposed audio of the video I refuse to name the identity and or existence of Zenjin is still a mystery but the album itself does exist. Its kind of a similiar situation to Snuff R73
@Dylan_Dragontail literally have only seen exactly what you're giving me right now, which is "I know that it does exist" never heard if someone who can tell me even a basic of what it sounds like, or anything other than "I know a guy" Very easy to just say sht
Why are you spreading misinformation The man who made Nicole 12 is a legit P3do and pseudoscorpion is actually easier to find that you think. Of course no one can provide proof, why would anyone subject themselves to that……idiot!
A honorable mention for tier 1 might be Weighing Souls with Sand by The Angelic Process: considering the tragic background of the band, this album sounds as emotionally (and sonically) heavy as it feels beautiful and otherwordly. Like a magnificent swan getting crushed by the apocalypse
@@bobduncan-ot2ji The context behind WSWS by TAP is that it was their final album before Kris Angylus (the man behind the project) committed suicide. It's often believed he did so due to an injury that left him impossible to play music again. Sadly as well, his wife (whom he formed the project with) died in 2023.
To expand on the Vocaloid stuff, a lot of it is themed around really dark topics for some reason but there's a lot of really strange experimental Vocaloid projects that exist. If you have time I recommend watching the English translation for the music video "I Can't Remember" by Daijoubu-P. It's a very hectic auditory/lyrical representation of dementia. Also "Watashi No Koko" is a classic in noisy/experimental dark Vocaloid music if you're ever interested in looking more into the genre.
Glad to see Diamanda and Mr. Zorn included. Some of my own, mainly in the uncanny layer would be Naked City's last two, Absinthe and Leng the, any number of Jarboe records but especially Sacrificial Cake, Akira Yamaoka's work on game soundtracks, Audrey Hodges work on Doom 64 and Quake 64.
it's weird but this whole video honestly just makes me appreciate how beautiful music is especially when you talked about How Welcome is Death to I and Penderecki's Threnody
One of your best videos yet Wyatt! The morbidness surrounding music much it does anything always peaks my interest. So glad I found your channel and keep up the good work! X
In regards to the Lingua Ignota project, I personally found Caligula to be much more disturbing than Sinner Get Ready. I feel that the sound in Caligula is just so much more visceral, and the lyrics are so much more intense. I love Kristen Hayter and everything she puts out. Also love seeing Diamanda Galás here and Plague Mass, which is honestly such an important album for what it represents.
about the coil album: the vocals are actually those of jhonn balance (geff rushton) who along with peter christopherson were the 2 core members of coil, they were also a romantic couple for most of the band’s existence and the album was made by peter re-arranging parts of a scrapped coil album called “backwards” (originally intended for release on trent reznor’s label and it got leaked but never officially released until 2015). this album is a heartfelt tribute to jhonn, and it feels like you’re slowly watching him fade away as you listen to the album - very moving and perfectly executed concept. also W for kengo iuchi mention, i barely see him talked abt and it’s a shame
The vocals on The Ape of Naples are actually John Balance's (Geoff Rushton) that were recorded prior to his death and reworked by Christopherson. The vocal on "Going Up" is taken from their final performance. The two members were also a couple which makes the whole thing even more tragic. Great video, its given me many new listens!!!
fuck youtube for taking the original down, I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to always having to watch out for this. Anyway,good job on the video yet again,lots of interesting stuff. Have you ever considered making a discord server?I would love to have a space to share and discuss music with this community since I've already found so much stuff through your videos.
@@kevin2400 There is a level of irony here. The system that catches videos is largely just AI filters. You know which group has consistently spoken out against the use of AI without it having a direct link to labor? The left. You know what group of people have dumped more into the development of AI than any other group and promotes its use in as many fields as possible? Right wing capitalists. In your attempt to clown on the left you've just shown your own political illiteracy. Delete yourself you clown.
I saw Diamanda Galas perform "Plague Mass" in 1991. It was just her topless (covered in blood), her five-octave voice and a piano. Still one of the most moving concert experiences of my life. I find most of that extreme noise stuff is boring and unlistenable. Give me some Joanna Newsom over that any day.
34:30 I will say that, with a lot of Kikuo's darkest material, even as a non-Japanese speaker without a translation of the lyrics right in front of you, you can definitely tell that something's up. The guy's production style is subtly off-kilter, often with additional odd effects placed on the synthesised vocals in a way which would already be kind of off-putting or spooky with a normal human voice but become especially alien when applied to a voicebank. His most infamous song, "Gomenne, gomenne" off of the record that you highlighted, does some particularly weird stuff with the vocal mixing on the weird, hectic dubsteppy verses which makes it pretty obvious that whatever this song is about, it's probably the opposite of cheerful-and *oh boy, is it ever!*
The Drift scared me more than any horror movie ever has. I've been traumatized ever since I randomly first stumbled across it years ago, while I was listening to random music late at night in the dark, not at all knowing what I was in for. I always want to recommend this to people when I discuss horror and fear, but I also feel the need to tell close loved ones to not actually listen to it because I'm afraid I'm gonna fuck them up by proxy. Incredible work.
Leave it to wyatt to make the best disturbing album iceberg on youtube. All the ones ive seen have been so surface level. Your 1st quarter would have been their bottom
UA-cam paused this video for me automatically just now and it said "video removed because it breaks terms of service" but then I refreshed twice and its back up 🤣 I only have 10 minutes remaining
I love your channel! Iceberg videos are cool but i also love listening to albums reviews that revolve around a specific vibe. Dont stop making these cool videos, people still love the scene and still love music. ( you're the youtube creator i watch wile eating btw) keep up good work man 🤘
That Coil record is very soothing but also uncomfortable. I'd probably put on Neurosis and Jarboe record in there and HALO's "Degree Zero: Point of Implosion".
Diamanda Galas is one of the most powerful artists I’ve ever listened to. The first time I listened to the album you included here I was outside at night in pure darkness and it was a deeply disturbing experience. Euronymous of Mayhem used to sell this album and tell people to listen to it in the dark, and I think that is advice I’d give anyone wanting to hear this for the first time. Just put it on and sit in the darknesses, a truly incredible experience.
YT recommended your channel to me. Wow, there are some deep cuts here; here are some other albums i'd mention for various reasons off the top of my head: * Exploding Hearts - Guitar Romantic. Amazing album, all but one member of the band died in a car crash a few months after it was released. * Purple Mountains. David berman killed himself a few weeks after releasing it, it was basically his suicide note. * Strid * I would set myself on fire for you * Codeine - Barely Real * Lifelover - Dekadens * Leak Bros - Waterworld
Superb iceberg! Penderecki was my first thought as soon as the video started. The way he uses string instruments is an absolute dream. A threnody is a composition of mourning, the root of the word refers to wailing. Threnodies are meant to be a memorial for the deceased. I always felt like it represents the aftermath, not the exact moment of the bombings. It seems to me like it's meant to be the wailing of the world after such horror has been unleashed.
while i fully agree that album is absolutely a disturbing experience, i feel like people should rly just let daughters go as a band fully. what alexis did and has done to not just kristin but also a lot of his fans at live shows is just completely disgusting and evil, not in a fun 'wow, this is disturbing' way but in a gross 'this is genuinely deplorable' way. also, it's a popular enough album at this point that people usually are more familiar with it showing up on these kinds of lists. (/lh) just a little rant of mine that ik nobody asked for but yeah ^_^
Against The Wood, Opposed To Flesh by KAVARI always creeps me out, and relaxes me simultaneously. While there's nothing disturbing about the album cover on the surface, when you put together the story it is telling it becomes unsettling. The way the album sways between harsh pummeling dark ambient and industrial sounds to soft tones akin to a silent hill track, screams and police murder reports and whispered breathing weaved in... It immerses you in the dark descent of a cult.
Many thanks for the tips! Being a notorious dusthead for a few years, PCP Poetry (feat. Joachim Montessuis) by Bryan Lewis Saunders hits me hard. Great rendition of a dust rush. Dust can be a great drug, a mixture of the powerful effects of acid and alcohol combined with a nasty upper. It's esoteric and magical, putting you in a god-like state of mind that lets you feel the movements of the universe and see cracks in the fabric of our world. It's great for navigating sonic waves of white noise, but also for experiencing the textured beauty of classical music. But beware: there are many variants and derivatives of this substance. Some of them are toxic to the body, most are strong enough to break minds. Plus dust intensifies the effects of other drugs and can itself be a considerable strain on the circulation (risk of stroke). So, if you must, try to use it with caution.
Excellent selection! Already exploring some of the picks I'm not familiar with. Been meaning to check that Con-Dom album for a while but a little afraid of what I'll find. Definitely check out Navicon Torture Technologies and Sutcliffe Jügend if you're not familiar with either, it really does fit in excellently with these other Death Industrial selections. Also I'm surprised to not find Stalaggh anywhere on this chart.
Very cool list, though i feel like it could have included more sludge (eyehategod, meth drinker, toadliquor, etc), at least on the upper tiers, still a interesting list tho
There's an album called He's Able that you should check out. It's a gospel music album that actually sounds really good, except it was made by the Jonestown cult. It's really hard to listen to it when you realize that everybody singing on the album including all the children died a terrible death.
I noticed diamanda galas yea thats definitely disturbing and eerie as fuck .they played the whole thing on college radio back in the 1990s when i was a teen. awesome pick
"A Promise" should've been on the first tier for emotional distress. If you haven't listened to it Wyatt, I would recommend it for a great experimental pop album about a dark chapter in the lead singer's personal life.
Deinonychus-Ode to acts of Murder, Dystopia, and suicide is sadly missing on your list, nothing in DSBM comes close. Also Aghast (not going to try and spell it but its German) is by far the creepiest album ever, and I say that as a fan of dark ambient for over two decades.Endura is another worth mentioning about seeing Zero Kama. Some really dark and creepy shit.
Teachings in Silence by Ulver is one I'd recommend. It is an entirely instrumental/ambient album, but a lot of it sounds really weird and creepy. That really creepy music from the scene where the family is burned alive in Sinister is from that album.
Skimming through the video, there are some absolute fucking bangers on this list. Hell, seeing Sadness Will Prevail, which has been my favorite album for the past 7 years, reminds me of when I told that fact to Steve Austin himself. He called my buddy and I "some experimental dudes" after hearing that. I wear that as a badge of honor to this day.
Amazing list, love most of the albums mentioned and have a couple I've never heard of now for further research! My personal uncanny valley experience was Ulver's "Teachings in Silence" mini's both sides, maybe due to times and circumstances of mine amplifying it but still it's brings something I can't and don't want to quite put my finger on.
Paintscratcher's self titled album I feel also brings a sense of dread and unease once you get about halfway through it, where everything becomes deconstructed into noise, ambience, and a mix of many other genres and styles. 6 hour long album with a similar vibe to Everywhere at The End of Time but with a completely different style of music.
From my own list on RYM of disturbing albums: The Origin of My Depression - Uboa The Olatunji Concert - John Coltrane Suicide - Suicide This Heat - This Heat The Pilgrim - Jason Lescalleet Everywhere at the End of Time - The Caretaker
Not sure if it’s been mentioned, and I know you can’t put literally EVERY album on this list, but I highly recommend for Tier 4: Cat System Corp.’s “News At 11” - a vaporwave look into a parallel universe where the tragedy of 9/11 never happened and how that day in September would have possibly carried onward. Through the song titles alluding to various things (like the time that Flight 11 hit the North Tower) and the samples used - to the simplicity of the artwork being an American flag appearing through a plane window - it’s eerie in a sense to know what instead happened on that fateful day.
One by a friend which I would include here is definitely Deprivationn - Dreams of Death. It’s an incredibly morbid and tortured avant-folk album. If you don’t believe me that it belongs on here, check out I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream/Lost in a Carnival of Souls
I can completely understand why you included Pissgrave, I felt the same way when I saw the cover of "Posthumous Humiliation" for the first time. I've been listening to all kinds of extreme metal for ages and have actually seen it all, but the cover of the Pissgrave album was so graphic and simply striking that I found it very disturbing and frankly disgusting. And I have an addition to the first rank of the Iceberg: I always found the album "Todeswunsch" (which translates as Deathwish) by "Sopor Aeternus" to be very dark, depressive and somehow ominous. But I have to say up front that the lyrics are all in German and make up a large part of the atmosphere, so unfortunately it's not that interesting for people who don't speak German. But the music itself is also good, although I find it very difficult to assign it to a genre, somewhere "medieval-gothic-no idea". Correction: I just checked it again and I wrote complete nonsense earlier, in fact only a few songs are in German, so a clear recommendation, even to anyone who doesn't speak German!
I must admit when I saw the thumbnail I rolled my eyes and thought it might end with De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas or something (which to be fair is disturbing in context) but I sure as shit wasn't expecting to see Senthil (who as you know has an array of other projects and has possibly since killed himself?) or Black mountain transmitter or buyers market pop up - and there are a couple I hadn't heard of so kudos I think you've pretty well journeyed down to the deepest darkest point of the iceberg. There was a group called Gulaggh who released an album Vorkuta which apparently samples the wails of psychiatric patients but from memory it was done consensually as a sort of experimental form of therapy though they presumably didn't mention that the recordings would be released in a music project
@@andrewz4105 appreciate your time ! As for Gullagh /Stallagh (which I made a video all about them ) the reason they aren’t included is because they come off like an urban legend then something legit. A lot of mystery with questions that are never answered about their origins that always ruined the “disturbing “ aspect about them .
@@wyattxhim yeah more than likely it's all bullshit for notoriety - I guess it's better if it is although the morbidly curious side of me does still seek out fucked up stuff, then often regrets it... I came across a recording of a victim of the toolbox serial killers as she wailed while they beat her with hammers and I had to close my laptop and walk around the park but it haunted me for a while. Sometimes confronting the dark side of human nature and what depravity some people are capable of seems more responsible than trying to live in blissful ignorance but not if it takes a toll on your mental health I guess. Anyway I'll check out more of your videos. Maybe sign up with rateyourmusic too if you haven't it's a great place to catalog music and discover new stuff
If you want "easy listening" music that is disturbing in the context way, but more in the real life context, just listen to anything by lostprophets. The music is generic and boring to me, but the fact that it is being sung by a guy who is extremely fucked up and did things to babies... I will never listen to that band ever again. I guess that's disturbing in a different way, like how r Kelly made music literally with the intent to be predatory to young girls. But I digress. Another contender for a light portion of the list is anything by the band Shining. I guess "V" because its their most popular. I'm sure you could say this about other groups but his openness for making it music specifically for people to commit suicide gives a disturbing context. Another emotionally crushing ep is bl4ck m4rket c4rt's ep, that was done and like weeks after the artist committed suicide. The way the ep was done soinded so dejected and lifeless it felt like they were thinking about doing it during that recording. Supremely sad. But i guess if that was the case, then music by mayhem would be on here, and we all know the context of that. Lol
Hey Wyatt good iceberg, but wheres the Swans, also in heaviest albums you have listened to, you recommended Filth, have you listened to there debut live album "Public Castration is a Good Idea". As a massive Swans fan, my all time favorite Swans album and one of if not the heaviest album ever made imo (granted less of a Metal guy), much love

I’m a total degenerate and know most of the albums given here, I would really like to see you deep dive into a Noise/PE/DI Iceburg at some point. Noise is probably the most inaccessible genre overall for most people, even extreme metal lovers! Would love to see your take on it personally. Much love as always ❤
Acid Bath-When the Kite String Pops Immolation- Unholy Cult The Cure- Pornography Godflesh-Streetcleaner Ephel Duath- Pain Necessary to Know Emperor- Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk Geryon- Astomatous Gorguts- Obscura Neurosis-The Eye of Every Storm Ulver- Perdition City
An unnerving band is pressterror. It is classified as splittercore, which is mixed with industrial and drum and bass. I recommend listening to it at low volume as it is very loud.
One album I say belongs here is D.R.S. Gangsta Lean. This album looks like a gangsta rap album on the cover , but it’s actually a r&b album and the themes are somewhat shocking, especially the song “Strip” which is about the people in the group D.R.S. r*ping a girl and at the end chanting the name of a real woman who said she was raped by a celebrity (forget which one ) in a taunting way.
Man, thanks for Your work, it's absolutely amazing and have found many new albums and artists to listen to. Question - have You considered iceberg or introduction video about dark classical/jazz music,that that metal or noise music fans can relate to?I think it would be interesting topic. Best wishes and be safe!
Things i'd say you're missing The various tempel ov blood/o9a albums Cage- movies for the blind (edgy but written by a dude going though alot of extreme mental distresss) Maybe some Bmss or edelweiss
"The Conet Project" is an album that has eerie shortwave number station recordings. Specifically the tracks "The Swedish Rhapsody" & "The Lincolnshire Poacher." The tracks contain ominous, child like melodies with random segments of A woman with A distorted voice, saying A series of numbers in German. It's really unsettling. Also these so called "number stations" were used to send encrypted messages to spies operating in foreign countries via shortwave radio. Also the track "The Swedish Rhapsody" was used in the infamous horror game "Sad Satan," only to drop A lit match into the barrel of nightmare fuel.
actually both the Coil record and Diamanda's live are focused on AIDS even tho both come out at a time where pharmaceuticals had most detected people surviving. Galàs lost her brother to AIDS at the beginning of the 80s and she is heavily supportive of the gay community and the fight against AIDS since. I realise back in the day she was linked to that but then after Vena Cava she moved towards other territories both musically and thematically.. that record contains tunes from St. of the Pit etc etc... tho so it represents in many ways the closure to the initial (and more interesting) Galàs.
Check out the album "A Beautiful Curse" by Genocide Cultshit. He was a severely depressed alcoholic/heroin addict who accidentally killed himself when he was 27. That album has all the disturbing things: rape, murder, drug use, suicidal ideations, abuse, everything. Top five best horrorcore rappers/singer in my opinion.

Sutcliffe Jugend - When Pornography Is No Longer Enough would also be a good entry
Naked city (another killer Zorn project) I have all the naked city albums there all insane!
@@Artiller-rye thanks bro
Would also suggest "D.o.A." by Throbbing Gristle for tier 3
We actually do now know who Korn's Daddy is about....JD finally revealed it in some interview a while ago, considering during the band's anniversary tour where they played the S/T in its entirety to include the emotional closer. He points directly to his babysitter at the time as the "family friend" who abused him and his parents didn't believe him. That person is now deceased.
It's a shame he never got justice for what happened. Hopefully, he can at least have peace.
I heard that member was actually a female and not a male. I don't know if it is true but maybe it is.
@@MarcusAsenlund Correct. The babysitter was a female.
Acshully, that's like super old news, probably older than you are.
this is the Wyatt vids i appreciate. youve been exposed to some great music , often fringe, and i love it when you put me on to bands that i havent listened to b4. OnyA MATE
The cover of Reek of Putrefaction may be nothing special now, but back then… I remember how visibly upset the local record store guy got when we asked about the album, he was almost screaming “No, I don’t have that shit! Have you seen it? Those guys are fucking sick!”. Good old days.
Frealz
I remember people being REALLY upset by early Last Days Of Humanity as well, if you repped them you might as well have been Jeffery Dahmer
"I Have A Special Plan For This World" is written by Thomas Ligotti and I knew it more as poem of his before I learned about his collaborations with Current 93. Anyone who is impressed by the lyrics I recommend his short fiction, "Nethescurial" traumatized me.
Great video btw, I've heard maybe 20 of these - a few from each level - and think they're mostly great, I'll check out the rest (well, not all of them...)
I've been reading a collection of his short stories recently, have yet to been profoundly moved but its interesting. It is a great track for sure, I have had some interesting experiences listening to it.
Thanks for re uploading, great video as usual!
One additional release to “Uncanny” tier: Fleurety - A Darker Shade of Evil
It has a very weird and distinct vocal style, and what makes it disturbing to me is vocalist permanently damaged his vocal cords because of this record and was not able to perform again in the future
Fleurety is absolutely fucking outstanding! The compilation I won't dare try to sell has some great material. The last one White Death was quite good, and I enjoyed the EP as well. Some of the best riffs I have ever heard!
Type O Negative's World Coming Down could fit in tier 1. With the song White Slavery about cocaine addiction and songs like Everyone I Love Is Dead and Everything Dies dealing with loved ones dying. Overall emotionally driven, but instrumentaly heavy album. Maybe not so much "disturbing" as it is depressing, but then again, maybe so depressing that it could be borderline disturbing.
First off,
Nicole 12 is social commentary. There's no real "depiction" except one song in particular where he's speaking from the view of an abuser.
Psuedoscorpion also doesn't exist.
Aside from that, fire video. You're the first person I've ever seen actually cover bryan Lewis Saunders.
You're the only reviewer I can stand
@@aserrano6454 pseudoscorpion is real, there are alot of fake versions but there is an "album" floating around limewire and soulseek that is just a compilation of aural pedophilia content and supposed audio of the video I refuse to name the identity and or existence of Zenjin is still a mystery but the album itself does exist. Its kind of a similiar situation to Snuff R73
And no I havent listened to it myself because fuck that shit
@@Dylan_DragontailI’m pretty sure a dude I was talking to for a while has a cassette version of it and he turned out to be a neo ns ped0 so yeah
@Dylan_Dragontail literally have only seen exactly what you're giving me right now, which is "I know that it does exist" never heard if someone who can tell me even a basic of what it sounds like, or anything other than "I know a guy"
Very easy to just say sht
Why are you spreading misinformation
The man who made Nicole 12 is a legit P3do and pseudoscorpion is actually easier to find that you think. Of course no one can provide proof, why would anyone subject themselves to that……idiot!
Coil, Psychic TV, and Throbbing Gristle creep me out more than any other bands. Real dark occult stuff.
Yeah I'm ready to shit myself before bed!
Im going to watch this in bed then! 🎉
1:23:32 his response.
😂@@Ellemenohpee677
In Absentia by Porcupine Tree, an album mostly centered about mentally disturbed people. Domestic abusers, r*pists, killers, etc.
Was so shocked when I read into it more, completely contrasts the sound for the most part imo, love Steven Wilson’s work!
And yet it's also one of the most beautiful albums ever. White Pony by Deftones is also similar in that regard.
Glad too see someone talk about Porcupine Tree, solid band! Steven Wilson's band was the first concert I ever went too.
@ oo I’m seeing him in May, does he mostly play PT stuff or his solo stuff?
A honorable mention for tier 1 might be Weighing Souls with Sand by The Angelic Process: considering the tragic background of the band, this album sounds as emotionally (and sonically) heavy as it feels beautiful and otherwordly. Like a magnificent swan getting crushed by the apocalypse
just wanted to say that you have an awesome profile picture! I love Henry Cow!
@@Samotbackwards Ah ah thanks bud❤
Oh, I rlly like their music but I didn’t know they had anything happen
Yo this is cool, thanks for putting me on
@@bobduncan-ot2ji The context behind WSWS by TAP is that it was their final album before Kris Angylus (the man behind the project) committed suicide. It's often believed he did so due to an injury that left him impossible to play music again. Sadly as well, his wife (whom he formed the project with) died in 2023.
To expand on the Vocaloid stuff, a lot of it is themed around really dark topics for some reason but there's a lot of really strange experimental Vocaloid projects that exist. If you have time I recommend watching the English translation for the music video "I Can't Remember" by Daijoubu-P. It's a very hectic auditory/lyrical representation of dementia. Also "Watashi No Koko" is a classic in noisy/experimental dark Vocaloid music if you're ever interested in looking more into the genre.
Quick with the reupload! Great video as always
Glad to see Diamanda and Mr. Zorn included. Some of my own, mainly in the uncanny layer would be Naked City's last two, Absinthe and Leng the, any number of Jarboe records but especially Sacrificial Cake, Akira Yamaoka's work on game soundtracks, Audrey Hodges work on Doom 64 and Quake 64.
Leng che from Zorn awesome bro, anything from Zorn!!!
it's weird but this whole video honestly just makes me appreciate how beautiful music is especially when you talked about How Welcome is Death to I and Penderecki's Threnody
One of your best videos yet Wyatt! The morbidness surrounding music much it does anything always peaks my interest. So glad I found your channel and keep up the good work! X
Man I was waiting for a new pod, you never disappoint!
So happy I found you bro!!!! Best metal content on UA-cam, keep up the awesome work 👊
In regards to the Lingua Ignota project, I personally found Caligula to be much more disturbing than Sinner Get Ready. I feel that the sound in Caligula is just so much more visceral, and the lyrics are so much more intense. I love Kristen Hayter and everything she puts out. Also love seeing Diamanda Galás here and Plague Mass, which is honestly such an important album for what it represents.
about the coil album: the vocals are actually those of jhonn balance (geff rushton) who along with peter christopherson were the 2 core members of coil, they were also a romantic couple for most of the band’s existence and the album was made by peter re-arranging parts of a scrapped coil album called “backwards” (originally intended for release on trent reznor’s label and it got leaked but never officially released until 2015). this album is a heartfelt tribute to jhonn, and it feels like you’re slowly watching him fade away as you listen to the album - very moving and perfectly executed concept.
also W for kengo iuchi mention, i barely see him talked abt and it’s a shame
One of the better iceberg videos you’ve done! I would have picked Girl With A Basket of Fruit but major thumbs up for including Xiu Xiu
The vocals on The Ape of Naples are actually John Balance's (Geoff Rushton) that were recorded prior to his death and reworked by Christopherson. The vocal on "Going Up" is taken from their final performance. The two members were also a couple which makes the whole thing even more tragic.
Great video, its given me many new listens!!!
fuck youtube for taking the original down, I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to always having to watch out for this. Anyway,good job on the video yet again,lots of interesting stuff. Have you ever considered making a discord server?I would love to have a space to share and discuss music with this community since I've already found so much stuff through your videos.
The pink blue haired freaks had fun with this video
@@kevin2400Not even a political thing, it's just AI that filters for terms commonly used in situations which 'break guidelines'
@@kevin2400the political brainrot is real
@@kevin2400 There is a level of irony here. The system that catches videos is largely just AI filters. You know which group has consistently spoken out against the use of AI without it having a direct link to labor? The left. You know what group of people have dumped more into the development of AI than any other group and promotes its use in as many fields as possible? Right wing capitalists. In your attempt to clown on the left you've just shown your own political illiteracy. Delete yourself you clown.
@@kevin2400 half these bands are queer
I saw Diamanda Galas perform "Plague Mass" in 1991. It was just her topless (covered in blood), her five-octave voice and a piano. Still one of the most moving concert experiences of my life. I find most of that extreme noise stuff is boring and unlistenable. Give me some Joanna Newsom over that any day.
Diamanda seems to be such pretentious in her darkness and madness 😒
34:30 I will say that, with a lot of Kikuo's darkest material, even as a non-Japanese speaker without a translation of the lyrics right in front of you, you can definitely tell that something's up. The guy's production style is subtly off-kilter, often with additional odd effects placed on the synthesised vocals in a way which would already be kind of off-putting or spooky with a normal human voice but become especially alien when applied to a voicebank. His most infamous song, "Gomenne, gomenne" off of the record that you highlighted, does some particularly weird stuff with the vocal mixing on the weird, hectic dubsteppy verses which makes it pretty obvious that whatever this song is about, it's probably the opposite of cheerful-and *oh boy, is it ever!*
I love the contrast of having one of the calmest and most peaceful albums ever to your right
I knew that gnaw their tongues would be here!
The Drift scared me more than any horror movie ever has. I've been traumatized ever since I randomly first stumbled across it years ago, while I was listening to random music late at night in the dark, not at all knowing what I was in for. I always want to recommend this to people when I discuss horror and fear, but I also feel the need to tell close loved ones to not actually listen to it because I'm afraid I'm gonna fuck them up by proxy. Incredible work.
Thanks for the quick reupload.Hopefully it stays here 🙂
Leave it to wyatt to make the best disturbing album iceberg on youtube. All the ones ive seen have been so surface level. Your 1st quarter would have been their bottom
14:10 "suffering from mental stability" :) That sounds like an interesting song title ;)
UA-cam paused this video for me automatically just now and it said "video removed because it breaks terms of service" but then I refreshed twice and its back up 🤣 I only have 10 minutes remaining
Thank you wendigoons cousin, I love your videos.
I love your channel! Iceberg videos are cool but i also love listening to albums reviews that revolve around a specific vibe. Dont stop making these cool videos, people still love the scene and still love music. ( you're the youtube creator i watch wile eating btw) keep up good work man 🤘
That Coil record is very soothing but also uncomfortable. I'd probably put on Neurosis and Jarboe record in there and HALO's "Degree Zero: Point of Implosion".
Glad to see you still bringing up rap here and there
I feel like that tired SpongeBob image after watching this video. Great video, as always.
Perfect timing 😁 exactly what I've been looking for with Halloween coming up
Diamanda Galas is one of the most powerful artists I’ve ever listened to. The first time I listened to the album you included here I was outside at night in pure darkness and it was a deeply disturbing experience. Euronymous of Mayhem used to sell this album and tell people to listen to it in the dark, and I think that is advice I’d give anyone wanting to hear this for the first time. Just put it on and sit in the darknesses, a truly incredible experience.
YT recommended your channel to me. Wow, there are some deep cuts here; here are some other albums i'd mention for various reasons off the top of my head:
* Exploding Hearts - Guitar Romantic. Amazing album, all but one member of the band died in a car crash a few months after it was released.
* Purple Mountains. David berman killed himself a few weeks after releasing it, it was basically his suicide note.
* Strid
* I would set myself on fire for you
* Codeine - Barely Real
* Lifelover - Dekadens
* Leak Bros - Waterworld
Honorable mention to Xasthur (tier 2)
Dishonorable mention to lostprophets (Context)
I'll also add that many of Rozz Williams's efforts could be quite uncanny and unhinged. Path of Sorrows by Christian Death springs to mind.
Superb iceberg! Penderecki was my first thought as soon as the video started. The way he uses string instruments is an absolute dream.
A threnody is a composition of mourning, the root of the word refers to wailing. Threnodies are meant to be a memorial for the deceased. I always felt like it represents the aftermath, not the exact moment of the bombings. It seems to me like it's meant to be the wailing of the world after such horror has been unleashed.
You Won't Get What You Want definitely deserves a place on this list. That album is self-hatred incarnate.
while i fully agree that album is absolutely a disturbing experience, i feel like people should rly just let daughters go as a band fully. what alexis did and has done to not just kristin but also a lot of his fans at live shows is just completely disgusting and evil, not in a fun 'wow, this is disturbing' way but in a gross 'this is genuinely deplorable' way. also, it's a popular enough album at this point that people usually are more familiar with it showing up on these kinds of lists. (/lh) just a little rant of mine that ik nobody asked for but yeah ^_^
@@diyamonddid Alexis really did anything at all? Wasn't it all made up?
Thank you so much for making this video and list. This is one of the best video's I've ever seen in UA-cam for sure.🖤🖤👍
Against The Wood, Opposed To Flesh by KAVARI always creeps me out, and relaxes me simultaneously. While there's nothing disturbing about the album cover on the surface, when you put together the story it is telling it becomes unsettling. The way the album sways between harsh pummeling dark ambient and industrial sounds to soft tones akin to a silent hill track, screams and police murder reports and whispered breathing weaved in... It immerses you in the dark descent of a cult.
Many thanks for the tips! Being a notorious dusthead for a few years, PCP Poetry (feat. Joachim Montessuis) by Bryan Lewis Saunders hits me hard. Great rendition of a dust rush. Dust can be a great drug, a mixture of the powerful effects of acid and alcohol combined with a nasty upper. It's esoteric and magical, putting you in a god-like state of mind that lets you feel the movements of the universe and see cracks in the fabric of our world. It's great for navigating sonic waves of white noise, but also for experiencing the textured beauty of classical music.
But beware: there are many variants and derivatives of this substance. Some of them are toxic to the body, most are strong enough to break minds. Plus dust intensifies the effects of other drugs and can itself be a considerable strain on the circulation (risk of stroke). So, if you must, try to use it with caution.
Damn the moment when Mount Eerie appeared on a screen. I feel so much for Phil, you don't even need the music but context.
Excellent selection! Already exploring some of the picks I'm not familiar with. Been meaning to check that Con-Dom album for a while but a little afraid of what I'll find.
Definitely check out Navicon Torture Technologies and Sutcliffe Jügend if you're not familiar with either, it really does fit in excellently with these other Death Industrial selections.
Also I'm surprised to not find Stalaggh anywhere on this chart.
Sutcliffe Jügend is a project that actually scared me the first time I heard it
Diamanda Galas is absurdly intense
Real
What does it sound like
@@Adobongtinapa564 Like a witch burning in a pyre
Yeah she’s almost like a female Mike Patton in terms of her range except with more focus on the avant- grade
@@Adobongtinapa564 Like a witch burning in a pyre.
Black Mountain Transmitter is genuinely peak artistry in my opinion. So otherworldly
Very cool list, though i feel like it could have included more sludge (eyehategod, meth drinker, toadliquor, etc), at least on the upper tiers, still a interesting list tho
Toadliquor rips hard haha
Same with EHG
Was hoping to see buzzoven tbh
Great video man, many cool albums and lots of good thoughts from you -- thanks!
maybe i can recommend some Shirley Collins to soothe your mind? (not seeing Suicide on layer 1 is surprising though, Throbbing Gristle as well)
There's an album called He's Able that you should check out. It's a gospel music album that actually sounds really good, except it was made by the Jonestown cult. It's really hard to listen to it when you realize that everybody singing on the album including all the children died a terrible death.
Hole in the heart is my go-to sleeping album. Atmospheric masterpiece
I noticed diamanda galas yea thats definitely disturbing and eerie as fuck .they played the whole thing on college radio back in the 1990s when i was a teen. awesome pick
Love Diamanda Galas and Scott Walker. Super underrated artists.
I hope Xiu Xiu gets a mention in this video
"A Promise" should've been on the first tier for emotional distress. If you haven't listened to it Wyatt, I would recommend it for a great experimental pop album about a dark chapter in the lead singer's personal life.
I feel like Wyatt should’ve picked “Girl With Basket of Fruit” for Uncanny
@@jarjar1715 For sure, that record fits better under the disturbing albums criteria while A Promise is just more depressing.
@Juju.. A Promise is much more disturbing than most of the albums on this list. At least for me.
Church of Misery has pretty fucked up lyrical themes with serial killers as well. However, the music woops ass. Literally killer Sabbath worship 😄
So happy to see the manics being mentioned!
Deinonychus-Ode to acts of Murder, Dystopia, and suicide is sadly missing on your list, nothing in DSBM comes close. Also Aghast (not going to try and spell it but its German) is by far the creepiest album ever, and I say that as a fan of dark ambient for over two decades.Endura is another worth mentioning about seeing Zero Kama. Some really dark and creepy shit.
Teachings in Silence by Ulver is one I'd recommend. It is an entirely instrumental/ambient album, but a lot of it sounds really weird and creepy. That really creepy music from the scene where the family is burned alive in Sinister is from that album.
Skimming through the video, there are some absolute fucking bangers on this list. Hell, seeing Sadness Will Prevail, which has been my favorite album for the past 7 years, reminds me of when I told that fact to Steve Austin himself. He called my buddy and I "some experimental dudes" after hearing that. I wear that as a badge of honor to this day.
Amazing list, love most of the albums mentioned and have a couple I've never heard of now for further research!
My personal uncanny valley experience was Ulver's "Teachings in Silence" mini's both sides, maybe due to times and circumstances of mine amplifying it but still it's brings something I can't and don't want to quite put my finger on.
Paintscratcher's self titled album I feel also brings a sense of dread and unease once you get about halfway through it, where everything becomes deconstructed into noise, ambience, and a mix of many other genres and styles. 6 hour long album with a similar vibe to Everywhere at The End of Time but with a completely different style of music.
From my own list on RYM of disturbing albums:
The Origin of My Depression - Uboa
The Olatunji Concert - John Coltrane
Suicide - Suicide
This Heat - This Heat
The Pilgrim - Jason Lescalleet
Everywhere at the End of Time - The Caretaker
Rozz Williams - Every King a Bastard Son, Rozz Williams The Whorse's Mouth, anything by Premature Ejaculation or Heltir.
Yeah, Rozz’s absence from these videos irks me a bit.
Rest in peace Rozz.
Rest in peace Rozz.
Not sure if it’s been mentioned, and I know you can’t put literally EVERY album on this list, but I highly recommend for Tier 4:
Cat System Corp.’s “News At 11” - a vaporwave look into a parallel universe where the tragedy of 9/11 never happened and how that day in September would have possibly carried onward. Through the song titles alluding to various things (like the time that Flight 11 hit the North Tower) and the samples used - to the simplicity of the artwork being an American flag appearing through a plane window - it’s eerie in a sense to know what instead happened on that fateful day.
One by a friend which I would include here is definitely Deprivationn - Dreams of Death. It’s an incredibly morbid and tortured avant-folk album. If you don’t believe me that it belongs on here, check out I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream/Lost in a Carnival of Souls
a crow looked at me is so fucking sad, i tried going back to it after i discovered it but i could barely get through it
I can completely understand why you included Pissgrave, I felt the same way when I saw the cover of "Posthumous Humiliation" for the first time. I've been listening to all kinds of extreme metal for ages and have actually seen it all, but the cover of the Pissgrave album was so graphic and simply striking that I found it very disturbing and frankly disgusting.
And I have an addition to the first rank of the Iceberg: I always found the album "Todeswunsch" (which translates as Deathwish) by "Sopor Aeternus" to be very dark, depressive and somehow ominous. But I have to say up front that the lyrics are all in German and make up a large part of the atmosphere, so unfortunately it's not that interesting for people who don't speak German. But the music itself is also good, although I find it very difficult to assign it to a genre, somewhere "medieval-gothic-no idea".
Correction: I just checked it again and I wrote complete nonsense earlier, in fact only a few songs are in German, so a clear recommendation, even to anyone who doesn't speak German!
I must admit when I saw the thumbnail I rolled my eyes and thought it might end with De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas or something (which to be fair is disturbing in context) but I sure as shit wasn't expecting to see Senthil (who as you know has an array of other projects and has possibly since killed himself?) or Black mountain transmitter or buyers market pop up - and there are a couple I hadn't heard of so kudos I think you've pretty well journeyed down to the deepest darkest point of the iceberg.
There was a group called Gulaggh who released an album Vorkuta which apparently samples the wails of psychiatric patients but from memory it was done consensually as a sort of experimental form of therapy though they presumably didn't mention that the recordings would be released in a music project
@@andrewz4105 appreciate your time !
As for Gullagh /Stallagh (which I made a video all about them ) the reason they aren’t included is because they come off like an urban legend then something legit. A lot of mystery with questions that are never answered about their origins that always ruined the “disturbing “ aspect about them .
@@wyattxhim yeah more than likely it's all bullshit for notoriety - I guess it's better if it is although the morbidly curious side of me does still seek out fucked up stuff, then often regrets it... I came across a recording of a victim of the toolbox serial killers as she wailed while they beat her with hammers and I had to close my laptop and walk around the park but it haunted me for a while. Sometimes confronting the dark side of human nature and what depravity some people are capable of seems more responsible than trying to live in blissful ignorance but not if it takes a toll on your mental health I guess.
Anyway I'll check out more of your videos.
Maybe sign up with rateyourmusic too if you haven't it's a great place to catalog music and discover new stuff
If you want "easy listening" music that is disturbing in the context way, but more in the real life context, just listen to anything by lostprophets. The music is generic and boring to me, but the fact that it is being sung by a guy who is extremely fucked up and did things to babies... I will never listen to that band ever again. I guess that's disturbing in a different way, like how r Kelly made music literally with the intent to be predatory to young girls. But I digress.
Another contender for a light portion of the list is anything by the band Shining. I guess "V" because its their most popular. I'm sure you could say this about other groups but his openness for making it music specifically for people to commit suicide gives a disturbing context.
Another emotionally crushing ep is bl4ck m4rket c4rt's ep, that was done and like weeks after the artist committed suicide. The way the ep was done soinded so dejected and lifeless it felt like they were thinking about doing it during that recording. Supremely sad.
But i guess if that was the case, then music by mayhem would be on here, and we all know the context of that. Lol
Niklas from Shining is just an edgelord who says stuff like that for shock value. I love Shining's music though
'a raven looked at me' is so sad that it feels wrong to even listen to it
This might become my favorite video you've ever made. I'm going to chicken wings from my favorite pizza place: This is going to be awesome :3
Hey Wyatt good iceberg, but wheres the Swans, also in heaviest albums you have listened to, you recommended Filth, have you listened to there debut live album "Public Castration is a Good Idea". As a massive Swans fan, my all time favorite Swans album and one of if not the heaviest album ever made imo (granted less of a Metal guy), much love
Swans. For sure!!

Thanks for another great iceberg video Wyatt! I’m a total degenerate and know most of the albums given here, I would really like to see you deep dive into a Noise/PE/DI Iceburg at some point. Noise is probably the most inaccessible genre overall for most people, even extreme metal lovers! Would love to see your take on it personally. Much love as always ❤
Thanks

Np 🤘🏻
@@NoNamedNobody692 nice pfp
could this get pinned pls?
Dude lets go. What a video. Always love your videos
the opposite would also be interesting, the most empowering, inspiring and hope giving albums in extreme metal
Absolutely love Reek Of Putrefaction 🤘🤘🤘
Acid Bath-When the Kite String Pops
Immolation- Unholy Cult
The Cure- Pornography
Godflesh-Streetcleaner
Ephel Duath- Pain Necessary to Know
Emperor- Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk
Geryon- Astomatous
Gorguts- Obscura
Neurosis-The Eye of Every Storm
Ulver- Perdition City
Lingua Ignota present on the list of course. That’s some incredibly intense stuff.
An unnerving band is pressterror. It is classified as splittercore, which is mixed with industrial and drum and bass. I recommend listening to it at low volume as it is very loud.
Great video man!
One album I say belongs here is D.R.S. Gangsta Lean. This album looks like a gangsta rap album on the cover , but it’s actually a r&b album and the themes are somewhat shocking, especially the song “Strip” which is about the people in the group D.R.S. r*ping a girl and at the end chanting the name of a real woman who said she was raped by a celebrity (forget which one ) in a taunting way.
Man, thanks for Your work, it's absolutely amazing and have found many new albums and artists to listen to.
Question - have You considered iceberg or introduction video about dark classical/jazz music,that that metal or noise music fans can relate to?I think it would be interesting topic.
Best wishes and be safe!
1:08:49 Interestingly, David Lynch used this music for one of the best episodes of Twins Peaks the Return.
Khanate's "No Joy" is literally the embodiment of my life for over 20 years.
Khanate, contenders for the win.
I missing "18.98 Occultus Penetration " here💥
Thought the same😅
Came here for this comment 😅🤘🤘
Things i'd say you're missing
The various tempel ov blood/o9a albums
Cage- movies for the blind (edgy but written by a dude going though alot of extreme mental distresss)
Maybe some Bmss or edelweiss
Lord Gore also on grotesque imagery
"The Conet Project" is an album that has eerie shortwave number station recordings. Specifically the tracks "The Swedish Rhapsody" & "The Lincolnshire Poacher." The tracks contain ominous, child like melodies with random segments of A woman with A distorted voice, saying A series of numbers in German. It's really unsettling. Also these so called "number stations" were used to send encrypted messages to spies operating in foreign countries via shortwave radio. Also the track "The Swedish Rhapsody" was used in the infamous horror game "Sad Satan," only to drop A lit match into the barrel of nightmare fuel.
yeyyyy UTARM, also great vid as always
Return Of Da Baby Killa off of Season Of Da Sickness is disturbing because it's so disgusting but very very catchy.
vashti bunyan is so good
actually both the Coil record and Diamanda's live are focused on AIDS even tho both come out at a time where pharmaceuticals had most detected people surviving. Galàs lost her brother to AIDS at the beginning of the 80s and she is heavily supportive of the gay community and the fight against AIDS since. I realise back in the day she was linked to that but then after Vena Cava she moved towards other territories both musically and thematically.. that record contains tunes from St. of the Pit etc etc... tho so it represents in many ways the closure to the initial (and more interesting) Galàs.
@n3r0n3 don't want to come off as a nerd but, Black Antlers is the Coil record about AIDS. The only song about AIDS on Naples is It's in my Blood.
Fantastic list as always.
Check out the album "A Beautiful Curse" by Genocide Cultshit. He was a severely depressed alcoholic/heroin addict who accidentally killed himself when he was 27. That album has all the disturbing things: rape, murder, drug use, suicidal ideations, abuse, everything. Top five best horrorcore rappers/singer in my opinion.
