    Music Albums with Disturbing Backstories
    Music can be… disturbing at times. From the history behind the production of an album to the literal sounds and lyrics themselves in individual tracks, today you and I are going to dive into three disturbing music albums and what makes them each so unsettling. As always, please let me know of any other albums you believe I should discuss in a future video down in the comments section below.
    Today’s video is going to be a little different... Being that it’s October and spooky season is upon us, I decided to go back on my channel and combine a couple of videos discussing my favorite ominous albums that I’ve dissected in the past and put them all together here into one singular video for your viewing pleasure.
    As always, thank you for joining me today, and let us dive into the darkest corners of the music world. Feel free to let me know of any other albums I should discuss in a future video in the comments below! Love y’all.

      Honestly check out black mountain transmitters album black goat of the woods, I have heard a lot of creepy albums but that specific album just creeps me out like no other
      There is also swarth by portal but I would say that is more harsh with some creepy moments, the black mountain transmission album doesn't sound like it was created on earth though

      Take as Needed for Pain by EyeHateGod. It's raw, harsh, and doesn't hold back. The lyrics that are heard are cryptic in some ways and the ones that are obvious are harsh and full of filth and suffering. The band (when they made this album) were heavy drug addicts in New Orleans. The themes of this album consist of suffering, drugs, humanity, and more. Their sound can be described as filthy, sludgy, and drug fuelled, which it is. Great album. Hell if you can do enough research, a whole video on the band would be possible. They have Hella lore

    Girl With Basket of Fruit is my favorite Xiu Xiu album because it's the most that noise for Jamie and Angela has ever meant not just distortion but disorientation, and with such a strong message underlying much of it.

    • @erielle_rs
      @erielle_rs Před 9 měsíci +9

      It's albums like these that speak to both Bataille and Lacan, comparing torturous experience to a confrontation with something disorienting and noising as an analogy for the experience that is so real it is unsemiotic then finding an aesthetic beauty in the portrayal of the limits of pain.

    You could definitely toss Con-Dom's How Welcome Is Death To I Who Have Nothing More To Do But Die in the disturbing pile.
    It's a Power Electronic/Noise album the artist created out of the tragedy of losing his mother to a disease. It goes beyond far to the point where he's sampling his mother's cries of pain in certain tracks and it's just unfathomably disturbing to listen to.

    There's no album more disturbing than Ascension Millennium by Corey Feldman. It's the album of a drug addicted ex-child star who sings and dances in the style of an eccentric trans-racial white man who sexually molested him. A man who underwent dramatic cosmetic surgery to "look less black" a man who used videos of 1930's minstrel shows to learn to dance. Corey is accompanied throughout the album by the "Angels" the female members of Corey's Hollywood cult/sex trafficking ring. Throughout the album you get the sense that Corey idolizes his attacker. He sings in the voice of his attacker, dances in his style, and has even wears his clothes. Ascension Millennium is disquieting, jarring, and will make you cringe as you become a victim of sonic Stockholm syndrome in the same way that Corey came to idolize his attacker. Corey's attacker Michel was the victim of childhood abuse and this album represents the perpetuation of the circle of violence from Michael's farther Joe to Michael to Corey and his Angels to your ear drums, this album will hurt your soul.

    A few disturbing album recommendations:
    The Body - No One Deserves Happiness
    Suicide - Suicide
    Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
    Lingua Ignota - All Bitches Die
    My biggest pick would have to go to Korn’s self titled 1994 debut. It is brutal and raw as hell. Knowing the backstory behind certain tracks enhances the experience. “Need To” is about how the singer Jonathan has trouble opening up or getting close to a girl he’s dating because of how he was abused as a child (which becomes horrifyingly apparent in the final track) and the bridge pretty much has Jonathan having a mental breakdown, “F**et” speaks of the homophobic bullying Jonathan faced for being a goth new wave kid in high school as well as his own questioning of his sexuality, “Helmet In The Bush” is an incredibly creepy industrial-influenced track about Jon’s fear that his meth addiction will kill him. None of these compare to the album’s closing track “Daddy”, though. Even knowing the song’s subject matter and what happens in it won’t do it justice. It is an extremely vulnerable, raw, and downright crushing account of how Jonathan’s babysitter violated him as a child, and his parents refused to believe when he told them. From its haunting acapella intro to Jonathan’s authentic screaming, sobbing breakdown and storming out of the studio heard at the end, it is a hellish and heartbreaking experience that will stay with you. Though this is one of my favorite albums, I rarely listen to Daddy unless I’m going start to finish.

    never really liked Springsteen's work, yet Nebraska is one of my favourite albums ever. there's a rawness and immediacy to the production, the way it's literally just a man, a guitar, a harmonica and a really inspired set of lyrics. plus the atmosphere that the lo-fi recordings bring to the proceedings is something else. haunting stuff. the "Born in the USA" track actually stemmed from the Nebraska sessions, and there's a stripped down version in the style of the album labeled as a "demo", for me it's the very best version of the track.

    Hi, Pad! I love your channel and have been watching it for years ever since the 13 Disturbing Albums video. Ever since that video, I expanded my music palette and have gone on crazy and amazing music journeys ever since, becoming a fan of the noise genre, experimental and alternative. One of my favourite albums from the noise genre is a very obscure album by the name of Folk Music, by the Japanese artist Grim. It’s an incredibly terrifying album but I can’t help but absolutely love it, even more horrific than Pulse Demon. I’d love it if you’d cover it sometime soon on a video so that it gets more attention, thanks! Sorry for this long ass paragraph lol

    As soon as you say disturbing music my immediate thought is Xiu Xiu. Specifically Knife Play though as I haven't heard anything new. I was a big fan in the 2000s and saw them twice. I got to meet Caralee McElroy but not Jamie Stewart. I will check out Girl with Basket of Fruit but I'm not sure if I need to brace for it first. I certainly didn't prepare for the film Xiu Xiu... but it did help me understand the band.

Strange coincidence too since I've started listening to that album this week as bient music while working. It looks like I'll have a sequel album to listen to when I'm done with the first one.

    Love how eclectic these albums are. I've never sat and listened to Bruce Springsteen but may have to now (I'm way too jumpy for Xiu Xiu...) I recently went down a begotten rabbithole on Bandcamp and found an album (well it's just the one album) by thoseyouforgottoburn. It's eerie AF, feels like it's telling a story but I'm not sure what?

They can get incredibly serene to horrifiicly noisy. Plus album to album you can see there evolution. It's hard to pick an album, and I'm sure a discog review is too much to ask (but VERY much wanted) they are masters at using the power of sound to there advantage. Listen to them loud.

      @@PadChenningtonhonestly all of them but you could skip any of them after soundtracks for the blind EXCEPT for To Be Kind. Some standouts imo are their debut ep and Filth, Greed and Children of God also have great soundscapes, their grandiosity is further expanded on in White Light and perfected in The Great Annihilator. Then finally soundtracks for the blind tears much of that apart and gives you a really lonely disorienting atmosphere.
      Im a huuuuuge swans fan. I’d also recommend touching on their song God Damn The Sun, though the album is a lighter mood folky thing this one song stands out as much darker, including it’s backstory likely being about Michael’s friend Nico who died of a drug overdose/ heat stroke only a year or so before the song came out.

    Hah, i saw xiu xiu in the thumbnail and knew it would be girl with basket of fruit. Man the memories i had with that thing!! It came out when i was a freshman in music school shortly before i was put in psychiatric hold. So it was very formative to my identity. That music met me at a level that nothing else could at the time and i havent heard anything like it since. The cello refrain in amargi ve moo carries such a jarring contrast to every other noise coming out of the track, its so beautiful. You either get it or you dont!

    Two albums I know of that have disturbing backstories and/or crazy recording session stories you should definitely talk about in the future are "World Coming Down" by Type O Negative and "Iowa" by Slipknot. Both of those are albums that can put a person into some insane feelings.

    The thing about Girl With Basket of Fruit's lyrics are that it's not incomprehensible in meaning but incomprehensible in feeling. Atrocities such as rape, lynching, witch trials, etc. are musically and lyrically presented to be abstract to the point where you don't understand them, as the events themselves aren't possible to emotionally explain unless you've experienced them. The goal is to portray real life horror as terrifyingly disorienting as possible.

  • @Ari_VioletValues
    @Ari_VioletValues Před 8 měsíci

    I'm still amazed by Girl with Basket of Fruit almost 5 years from its release, even though I like more other albums by Xiu Xiu like A Promise, as an experience it's one of the most unique and disturbing listens I had ever but not as only shock factor but the feeling that I shouldn't be listening to the scenes that describes, like it was a snuff film or something horrible like that. I think its abstract form enables any type of interpretation and that's admirable from an album as chaotic, weird and harsh like GWBOF.

    Xiu Xiu are one of my favourite bands ever, their first three albums are MUST listens and also some of the most depressing and disturbing music ever made, not just sad but sad in a very real way because many of their songs (ex: almost the entirety of the album fabulous muscles) are inspired by real people jamie knew/met/saw, and/or are very deeply personal dealing with his mental health, trauma, and coping with the death of family and loved ones

    "Even a CD..."
    This is where the audiophilia kicks in 😊
    I think the real reason why CD egst such a bad rap is because it's familiar to zoomers and millenials in ways that records and tapes aren't. The CD is actually the best, most capable physical format (it's why engineers got away with the Loudness Wars - no other format could be mastered in that way)
    The young'uns who collect and fetishise records (and insist on calling them vinyl) have nostalgia for CDs, the brickwalled, ear-battering mixes, the Sony Rootkit whereas records are before their time and are thus exotic.
    Of course, there's more than sound quality to the listening experience. The 12" artwork, the placing on the deck, the dropping of the needle are all more involved and less familiar than dropping a CD in the tray and pressing play (or Rip CD)
    But don't tell me it's down to sound quality, CDs are _capable_ of far better sound quality than records or that it's down to analogue vs digital. All of the records featured here except possibly Nebraska were digitally produced.

    Nebraska is such a sinister album, rarely from a commercial success rock star Springsteen, who wanted the album to be recorded with the E Street Band, but decided it'd be a sparse folk record, which is the best decision ever made. The grainy lo-fi like demo folk record gave the album more dark feeling. It fitted with the sinister theme of the album. Springsteen is such an underappreciated songwriter, he could write songs about people's struggles, which is why he made the song for Philadelphia.

      I know it might not be your exact cup of tea, but the Shoegaze/Doomgaze and Psych Pop scenes might be a great thing for you to dwelve into!
      One awesome artist that you need to cover is Wulven. There “The Earth Is Consuming Us” is such a dreary and sobering album and project, and I think it would be a great artist and genre for you to cover because it’s already a niche within a niche.
      Another artist that isn’t exactly confined within a genre, that I love for its socially conscious work is Son Lux. There Tomorrow’s trilogy of albums is such a haunting but beautiful piece of work. Eclectic. Highlight tracks for me that I recommend are “Prophecy” from Tomorrows II and “Undertow” from Tomorrows I. I think you would feel at home covering them as well.
      Also, I think you would really love some more mainstream projects, like Tame Impala and The Flaming Lips. Seeing a review or essay on some of there iconic works from your perspective would be AMAZING!!!!
      If you ever listen to any of these, please lmk! Would love to hear your thoughts, even if you don’t think they are video worthy.

    Xiu Xiu: The Send-Down Girl was the first film directed by Joan Chen, who was in ... Twin Peaks.
    Certainly the most disturbing track I know of is Suicide's "Frankie Teardrop", which tells the story of a broken man who, in his bleak separation, kills his wife and baby child before then killing himself. The arrangement is just busted organ with a rhythm machine and vocals sounding at times like demented rockabilly.
