I don't dislike Necro, but I find his voice off-putting. He just has this monotone delivery that's kind of boring to listen to. And Death Rap had some truly cringe-worthy moments: having John Tardy from Obituary and Jamie Jasta from Hatebreed sing the choruses to two of the songs was one of the less good ideas I've heard in a long time.

And Twiztid are a hard group to rec. They're definitely a cut above their peers, but they use pretty much the same shtick. But I don't know that I'd call them horrorcore in the way you're looking for. They're more of a wannabe gangsta group with more violent lyrics (at least when they're not referencing juggalos).

Their debut, Mostasteless, is the least juggalo of their albums, and pretty solid throughout, if you can take their recycled gangsta rap personas. This song right here is actual horrorcore though. It's pretty much a adaptation of Halloween (as in the movie).





After that they became more watered down as they towed the Psychopathic company line. I haven't listened too much to their W.I.C.K.E.D. album, but it seems to be more of a straight horrorcore record.






And I definitely wouldn't rec Freek Show for what you're looking for, but the first song might be close.




They were in a group called House of Krazees before Twiztid, who had a much more horrorcore aesthetic, but they really sounded amatuerish at the time, so I don't know that you'd get anything out of it. The lo-fi production and halloweenish vibe are kind of cool though.




Ultimately, I can't see you becoming a Twiztid fan, but there you go.

Also can't leave without mentioning this song. Kind of their signature tune. It's not really horrorcore, but it's anthemic in a way that warms my Manowar-loving heart. I'm assuming you'll think it's ****.

KKKill the Fetus and Abominationz. As for Necro, did you check out The Murder Murder Kill Kill Double EP released a few years ago? I really liked it.

And of course I'm familiar with ICP, I can't stand them though. Tyler, the Creator has a couple good tracks, but most of his music I'm not a fan of. I like Earl, especially the new album, but it's not something I'd call horrorcore. Tech N9ne, Prozak, and Mars I've listened to but wasn't impressed. There doesn't really seem to be anything horror-y about any of those three at all, except maybe Mars lyrics, but lyrics alone aren't enough to make want to listen to something. Like I said to Grindy above, it's the music I care about, lyrics are just icing on the cake. With that in mind, do you have any specific comments about the other bands on your list that might give me an idea of which ones would appeal to me?


I like SpaceGhostPurrp. There's nothing remotely horrorcore about him though.
Tech N9ne has horrorcore songs, but over all isn't horrorcore.
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.

The two best albums by both Twiztid and Esham.

I haven't checked out Mr. Hyde but I have checked out Ill Bill and Danny Diablo. Neither are horrorcore, but I think both are decent.

Funny side note: one of those German recs from Grindy actually has a Goretex appearance on it.

I like his voice a lot actually, there's something kind of thuggish about it that just works for me.

Those songs you mentioned are actually from The Pre-Fix for Death and the one with Jamie Jasta is one of my favorite songs on that album.

That song seems ok. I could possibly see it growing on me.

I'll check out the rest of the videos when I have little more time.

Yep, I have everything he's released except the freestyle collections. MMKK isn't my favorite but it's still very good.

I'll check out those other two recommendations.

Huh. I only ever listened to Necro when this one friend threw him on, and I could swear he was playing Death Rap. I just listened to both of those songs again, and while I actually liked Necro more than I used to, I still think they're pointless: having a rapper come in on a death metal song doesn't really work, and the screamy guy from Hatebreed sounds like **** on a rap song that is otherwise pretty good.
