Evil Beats/Vocals (Music suggestions)
« on: August 14, 2010, 05:45:34 pm »

^^ I'm looking for dark/brooding/sick/"evil" music. ^^

It doesn't necessarily have to be vulgar or "evil" lyrics, just music that projects that sinister... oomph.

I've done a few searches and I keep finding they all lead to doom metal or horror-core. That's not what I mean by "evil"...

Some examples would be

Gravediggaz
MF Doom - Tick Tick
Massive Attack (Heligoland, Mezzanine)
DEP (Ire Works) - Black Bubblegum, Dead as History
Clipse (HHNF)
Battle of Mice - At the Base of the Giants Throat
The Bronx - Three Dead Sisters
Miley Cyrus - Party in the USA

It can be any genre. Your help is appreciated!

Well, I can point you in two directions:

1. If you're just looking for something straight up-dramatic, check out some film scores.

2. If you're looking for dark back-drop type music, I'd point you to my main man Kevin Mcloud.

If you want stuff less soundtrack-y, I can't really help you.

I'm familiar with Gothic chorus and whatnot, but I'm wanting something more along the lines of "popular" music.

That's what I figured, but it was worth a shot anyway.

How 'bout old Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds? Truly dark. And versatile as well. At first I thought I'd put together a nice short list of his in my opinion best, "evil" songs, but there's just too much to choose from when you start looking for 'em.
Anyway, of the top of my head, a few different-sounding songs you could look up, or at least some of them:
- Red Right Hand
- O'Malleys Bar
- Papa Won't Leave You Henry
- Up Jumped The Devil
- Tupelo
- The Carny
- Stagger Lee
- The Curse of Millhaven

Well you said you didn't want doom metal or horror core....but I think Suicide Commando has some pretty dark sounds to it. It's more industrial/electronic than it is metal...but they have some seriously twisted music (and lyrics.) May or may not be what you're looking for.
