a couple years ago I was writing a report at 4am and I thought it was a good idea to put on Soundtracks for the Blind...that album is harrowing

Lordgalvar, I love when you said Crass SCARED you. I loved when I was a kid and I heard Nine Inch Nails for the first time. When you're fourteen "Big Man With A Gun" or "Reptile" is world-obliterating. And of course eventually it's not scary at all. It's music you have nostalgia for and memories of, it's comforting, even.
I think in a lot of ways, my experience with music is chasing that "SCARY" dragon. Lately the only thing that's been doing it for me is, erm, experimental doom and black metal, Indian, Thou, Gnaw Their Tongues, and of course anything Josh Scogin, especially The Chariot, because all that shit scares me, walking home at night through the woods, it's got a palpable demonic or at least transcendently violent quality. In five years, all of that will be comforting and nostalgic and I'll need something more fucked up LOL
Already I'm seeing the album art for Gnaw Their Tongues' Collected Atrocities and laughing at it. I hate when I start to focus on the human element in music. I need music that sounds like it was made by demons, not humans
Except Josh Scogin I guess, he's scared me for a decade now. Inspiringly heavy dude.
Based on this I think you would really like Lord Mantis's Death Mask from last year.

Scott Walker scares me and makes me uneasy and almost physically sick at times. So I try not getting into him too much
Sunn O))) live scared me because of Attila's unhuman performance
Some dark ambient projects can be totally fucked up. My favourite is Atrium Carceri, which I wouldn't call scary really, still nice and deep experience
I only listened to this track as a whole once. Never again

Yup I skip on to the next track at the end of that song. Its the standout one on the album too.

That was one of my favorite records from last year. That album is absolutely filthy.

Watching them a couple of days before theyimploded was one of the most intense shows I've seen in a long time. Charlie Fell was all sorts of fucked up and being a real asshole to everyone -- I didn't/still don't want to listen to the band mostly because that portion of the evening was more or less really unpleasant, but the show was fucking killer.

You know what, I shot my own argument down. I thought of an artist that sounded more or less EXACTLY like DG before DG existed. I concede that perhaps they are not as experimental as I'd originally held. It's Saul Williams, BTW, as produced by Trent Reznor.

I adore that album. Saul is awesome, but Trent took him to a different level.

Dawn of Midi - Dysnomia originally came out in 2013, but Erased Tapes gave it a wider release this year so I'm counting it. Imagine if Steve Reich used a piano/upright/drum trio but switched up the riffs way more frequently than he normally does, and made each piece of music flow into each other for the length of the album. It's one of my favorite records in a while.

Totally agree! I actually liked it better than any of the (many) NIN releases from around the same time.
I especially love the song I posted, "Rims like Tibetan prayer wheels"
