I've spent many a night trying to do just that. The closest I've come is with Lyrinx - Nihilistic Purity, and the Nyktalgia S/T. But they don't quite match the brutality of Sar.

Haven't been in the mood 'til now but having given it a listen that's some pretty good stuff.

Yeah, so basically, I'm looking for frightening music that puts a lot of emphasis on creating an unsettling atmosphere.

Now, please don't recommend me metal (unless it's something really special), because screaming into a mic about disemboweling your dog is not my idea of disturbing (though I can relate, since I hate my dog :P)

My idea of scary music would be: Scott Walker's the drift, The Silent Hill Soundtracks, Toby Driver's solo project, Swan's Children of God and some modern classical music like Bartok maybe...

would appreciate any help

Listen to John Zorn, at least 150 of his albums are unsettling.

In Prokofievs 1st violin sonata at 3:17 you get a silent hill vibe before it fizzles out.

I may have to dig through my collection....

Stalaggh. Aphex Twin's ambient albums have always creeped me out. Hans Zimmer's Dark Knight score is also pretty creepy. Wolf Eyes. Troum.

That's just off the top of my head. Sorry, I'm far too lazy to dig through youtube for representative videos.

I suggest a merge.

There have been a lot of songs that try and express the horror of war. This one stands above all of them. Dark lyrics and that organ used to perfection.

If this is the musical equivalent of heroin... goddamn.
