Any suggestions for horrorcore that's actually worth listening to?

There's been a long relationship between hip hop and New York/northeast hardcore going all the way back to the Beastie Boys in the 80s so it doesn't seem like an odd combination to me, not to mention Jasta's vocals on that track are about a hair's width from being rapping themselves. Necro is easily as influenced by hardcore as he is by metal and also collaborated with hardcore guy turned rapper Danny Diablo on that same album and the dude from Cro-Mags on Death Rap.

I do agree that the one with the guy from Obituary is an awkward fit though. I don't hate it, but it's one of the weaker tracks on the album.

I realize there's a connection between NYHC and rap, but that doesn't make Jasta's appearance any less terrible.

Well, I like it and I'm not even remotely a fan of Hatebreed. But to each his own.

Nothing is more horrorcore than King Gordy's Esham In The 80s. That's why he's the king.

The first half of the song is some of the most well done horrorcore I've ever heard in my life, and the second half is pretty great concious rap.

People hate King Gordy because he talks about raping kids.

The Hollywood Hank album isn't as great as the Dilemma stuff anyway. The production is really basic, all done with Fruity Loops by HH himself.

I was finally able to get the Hollywood Hank album. Seems pretty good so far, but I haven't had a chance to give it a full listen yet. I'd love to hear some more German hip hop if you have any recommendations. Doesn't necessarily have to be horrorcore. Anything you think is good.

I just checked out the Mr. Hyde album If It Bleeds We Can Kill It today and I really like it. Very reminiscent of Necro but definitely with his own distinct sound. Also, naming your album after a line from Predator is a pretty good way to predispose me to like it.

I got both of these. Abominationz is maybe a little too long for its own good, but still quite enjoyable. I was kind of surprised by how good the rapping is. KKKill the Fetus I haven't given quite as full a listen to yet but it seems pretty good.

Prozak used to do horrorcore, then he made this huge change and raps about saving the earth.

I know newer Brotha Lynch Hung albums definitely have that.
Twiztid's W.I.C.K.E.D. has that.
Esham's KKKill The Fetus
SickTanicK
Older Razakel, but now days she's doing this horror pop type stuff.
Dark Half, Geno had an amazing singing voice.
Natas's Doubelievingod
Hyenas In The Desert is a one album group from the 90s that's like Gravediggaz and Flatlinerz

I'll also recommend Ho99o9. They are an industrial punk rap group. I'm not a fan of their punk rock songs but I do like everything else they do a lot.

I checked out Ho99o9 and thought they were pretty great! They were nothing at all like the kind of thing I was expecting when I posted this thread, and I mean that in the best way possible. It's like all best parts of Moodie Black and blackhandpath combined with a bunch of great noisy synth rock plus a horror aesthetic. What's not to like? My only complaint is that they've only released two EPs.

Twiztid and Esham, I mentioned above. Enjoying both.

I checked out a couple SickTanicK songs and feel like I could go either way on him. I like how tongue-in-cheek he is but he definitely treads pretty close to the the fine line between camp and cheese. I'll have to give him a bit more of a listen to decide.

I was curious about Razakel because it's always nice to hear a good female rapper, but unfortunately I think she's kind of awful honestly. Possibly the worst rapping I've ever heard to be honest. I do appreciate the recommendation though.

I haven't had a chance to check out Dark Half or Natas yet, but I'll post comments once I do.

Lastly, Hyenas In The Desert are pretty great. Definitely right in line with Gravediggaz and Flatlinerz as you said. It's too bad they only made the one album.

Thanks again everyone for the recommendations!

Once you get bored with those I still have that whole other list.

Plus, I'm always looking for new horrorcore so I can keep you up to date with what I find.

And yeah, H09909 is a treasure I'm glad I found.
