My old high school friend group loved Lightning Bolt and I am fairly certain they got played at least occasionally when we hung out, but I was lucky, I suppose.
You know you have a problem when you've heard at least half of the entries on the last few tiers and go, "Oh, those are grim. But I've heard worse." That said, it's very hard to get worse than Buyer's Market, let alone the possibly mythical last entry, which are kind of cheating. I did appreciate some of the deeper cuts, though; in particular, I am a huge :zoviet*france: fangirl, and Univers Zéro were a big inspiration to me as a young'un. Just for fun, some records I didn't see here which I think would totally fit at various levels: Abruptum, Obscuritatem Advoco Amplectère Me Aghast, Hexerei Im Zwielicht Der Finsternis Ami Yoshida, Tiger Thrush Big Black, Atomizer The Birthday Party, Junkyard Black Boned Angel, Verdun Black Leather Jesus/Richard Ramirez, Latex Bodychoke, Five Prostitutes The Body Lovers/The Body Haters, The Body Lovers/The Body Haters Brainbombs, Disposal of a Dead Body Brighter Death Now, Great Death Bull of Heaven, 109: Boxes of Scorpions Released by Tripwire Burmese, Men Calineczka, Music not for Airports Con-Dom, How Welcome is Death to I Who Have Nothing More to Do But Die Condo Horro, Today's Luxury Apartments Will Be Tomorrow's Slums Consumer Electronics, Dollhouse Songs Controlled Bleeding, Knees & Bones Crawling Chaos, Homunculus Equinox Dakota Hogback, Vicarious Sadism Dälek, From the Filthy Tongues of Gods and Griots Dave Phillips, ?

important to understand that icebergs arent ranking lists. its not least disturbing to most disturbing. its most well known to least well known. the further down the iceberg you go the more obscure the art is. so thats why the list is inconsistent in how disturbing it is.
Hot damn, I thought I was a disturbing music aficionado. Shows me, when I've recognized less than half a dozen albums off this list. I will be nabbing this, thank you.
@@aethereal9032 frankly i think its far more interesting than ranking lists, considering ranking lists are just personal opinion, nothing more. you learn nothing from a ranked list whereas ice bergs teach you about things you might not have heard of before, things most people might not have heard of before. if that doesnt interest you it doesnt have to, but theres a reason its popular.
I've subbed, absolutely great content. Steve Albini is a weird one... He appears absolutely everywhere in the liner notes of everything, I mean, he's already involved in a few in these tiers. Honestly, he's like a spilled bag of glitter, years later when you thought you'd found it all, you'll find it in the least expected places...
You know, it's funny: The self-titled is probably the scarier album overall, but in between the mellower "pop" cuts, the sophomore album has "Harlem", which is completely unhinged. Personally, though, I'd go with either Half-Alive or 23 Minutes Over Brussels in the freaky Suicide releases sweepstakes.
>Longtime collaborator Partner. Jhonn was Sleazy's partner. Also, Nattramn wasn't in a mental hospital nor did he try and kill someone. That was his brother, which Transformalin was a concept album around.
Great video! The only issue I noticed is that you included Drug, Drug, Druggy on the list of songs from The Holy Bible, but that song is actually on the previous album Gold Against the Soul
Martin Bladh of death industrial titans IRM made an official "remix" album of Buyer's Market, transforming the samples into a dark ambient collage piece over which Bladh performs spoken word drawing from several of Sotos' essays on tabloid media's morbid fixation on the abuse and murder of children. It's apparently quite tastefully executed for what it is, albeit very disturbing and by no means a comfortable sit.
Glad to see Pork Soda getting attention in discussion of disturbing albums. The song Mr. Krinkle has such a lighthearted subject matter, but the song’s sound and the music video are so damn creepy. Bob is an example of track from the album that both sounds unsettling and has unsettling lyrics. Album has such a spooky vibe overall even with songs that don’t have disturbing lyrics (or lyrics at all).
'The Taller You Are The Shorter You Get' by My Dad Is Dead is highly recommended for sad people and 'Ratfucker' by Armand Schobroeck Steals is a must for all psychopaths. He's a nice guy too. He owns a guiar store in NY State and i liked the album so much i called him and he sent me three more. One was a double concept album about the ten years he spent in prison for armed robbery.
If anything it should be cop or the young god ep. Soundtracks is good, my favorite album actually, but it was generally just Gira trying to get everything he could out before he left, and it is really good, but i wouldnt really call it disturbing, it gets disturbing at moments 100%, especially the noise/found sound parts like her mouth is filled with honey. But its not 100% disturbing from start to finish. Cop and young god though grab you from the very beginning and drag you through mud and fire until the very moment the album/ep ends
I'm always looking for new, challenging music to listen to, excellent work going through and explaining the albums that were in the iceberg. Was very happy to see a lot of albums I've been listening to, I appreciate the amount of work and effort you had to put in to make it work, wishing nothing but the best!
late, and slightly biased because im a fan of both of these bands dystopia's first album *human = garbage* (important and amazing album) is an honorable mention, using haunting and distubing samples in bold and raw straight to the point lyrics full of self loathing, and anger towards real world problems that are still prevalent in todays world also rudimentary peni's discography is pretty disturbing throughout, but *pope adrian 37th psychiatric* is by far the most difficult listen and makes it that much more intriguing knowing it was written while the singer was involuntarily institutionalized and was having delusions and an episode?? definitely a dark band thats worth a listen, very punk inspired, distrust for the system, inspired albums that progressed into an obsession of death, hp lovecraft, that pointless of humanity, and all worth listens
Syd Barret didn't have a nervous breakdown and left the band. Actually he was getting addicted to drugs which then resulted in him becoming a schizophrenic and the band were forced to kick him out if they wanted to continue
FINALLY someone talks about attic abasement. One of my favourite projects ever. Swim through the dirt and dancing is depressing have been with me for almost 10 years now
like Make A Change being close to the last entry is understandable if you're like a normal human being but that albums pretty highly regarded in terms of DSBM
Imo Damaar's Triumph Through Spears of Sacrilege rivals the last one of these albums. Unlike Revenge, due to Damaar's situation, the hatred and anger they handle are real and harsh
Haven’t finished the video yet, but with how much music is in here that I love I’ll definitely have to check out the stuff I’m less familiar or have never heard of.
Gotta love when one of your fav albums is on this list 😅 But kinda surprised nothing from Sopor Aeturnus and the Ensemble of Shadows isn't on the iceberg. A lot of their music (from the atmosphere, composition, and lyrical/stylistic themes) is absolutely dark and heart wrenching. I'd like to know your opinion.
Its an absolute travesty how you have only 1.5k subs. Your videos are incredibly well made, super diverse, well researched and its very clear you know your stuff. I've been getting my friends to watch your channel
the reason why is because she doesn't circlejerk over extremely popular music. most other music video essay channels just jerk off dylan or radiohead, and while i love both of them, sets is far better because her stuff is actually for music lovers
the character pink wasnt based on syd barrett, piper at the gates of dawn was. (imo) pink is based on waters himself. the concept of the album is isolation and alienation. pink doesnt like to feel like a vulnerable child so he builds a wall around his heart and surrounds himself with people that dont really know him. (again, in my opinion..i think the albums concept is really based on our perception of it). another way to put it is that its the same thing when you see the little girls posting "ive been thru so much you dont even know so thats why im a bitch" all over social edia. "my hearts been broken too many times im so strong". I think that towards the end of the album, when pink is reflecting on himself, thats when he decides to "tear down the wall". when he does so, hes just a lonely little boy that misses his dad. thats why i feel like pink is based on waters. I dunno though.. this is just my interpretation of it, I dont know if any of this makes sense but I will absolutely agree that its one of the best albums ever written. that and nine inch nails the fragile. shout out to pork soda too, I love les claypool lol seeing roger waters perform the wall in 2016 was one of the best shows ive ever been to. good video, interesting perspective. well done. I will subscribe. :) take care
Some of my favourite albums, many of these are also beautiful (Coil, Lustmord, Puce Mary, Nico). I don't really have much time for the metal related material myself (with exception of Sunn o))) ) but the arty farty stuff here is great- Scott Walker, Atrax Morgue, This Heat, Throbbing Gristle, Whitehouse, Einstürzende Neubauten, Nurse With Wound, Di6 etc🎉🥳
I would’ve put the album Deceit by This Heat on this list. Terrifying, hypnotic and almost ritualistic instrumentals that are topped with lyrics about the world meeting its end due to nuclear warfare
I'm seriously wondering where you got all of your information for each record from and whether or not you actually listened to each record in their entirety for this. I don't know, but everything you say sounds scripted and gives of the impression that you're just using other reviews of the records when talking about them, rather than actual giving your own opinions. Apologies if you did listen and if you dud actually write all of your reviews, but it just sounds like you're taking bits from here and there when describing each release? Still, a very well put together video and very interesting topic, though I personally feel as though I could definitely make a better, more accurate iceburg/tier list for the most disturbing records ever made.
I would like to let you know about Season of da Siccness: The Resurrection - Brotha Lynch Hung A very disturbing and creepy horrorcore album from the 90s
Yes! That probably takes the cake over any of these others. I just started watching and was hoping it would be mentioned but I guess not. It's one of my favorite albums but it's absolutely brutal AF! If you know you know 💯
You'd have so much fun with the Nicole Dollanganger and Ethel Cain discographies (both artists still active, Ethel just debuted but she's PHENOMENAL) - just saying. Preacher's daughter is probably one of my favourite releases this year.
I never associated the figures in hatred for mankind's cover to the kkk. I'm from spain though, and here those pointy hat robes have a different association: to the easter celebrations of the catholic church, and to religius cults more in general. The robes in that cover are only similar to those of the kkk in the pointy hats, but the symbolism is more satanic than anything. Also been following the artist who made the cover (Justin Barlett alias vberkvlt, R.I.P) for a while and he never struck me as one to celebrate racism and lyrical themes on the album don't give any justification to that claim either. I see how that assumption could be made by the american public, though. just wanted to give some perspective.
Too bad you didn't make a complete time stamp list of all the albums and artist covered. Just so I can have the ability to write some of them down because I have no idea how to spell half of the artist names. Would love to check them out.
Finally someone ackowledging Puce Marry. While I would have chosen "The female Form" when it comes to disturbing albums but someone actually mentioning her is enough to make me happy.
