Thread: Creepy rock music

Tweet

When I watch some of the tutorials, people always seem to have cool music in the background......what are some bands/songs that sound creepy? I like having creepy rock music as an alternative to the usual "haunted" sounds.

In my party mix I usually throw in some Cradle of Filth, Rob Zombie, I Am Ghost, Marilyn Manson and so on.

Here's some starting point suggestions for songs you can toss in:

Cradle of Filth - Her Ghost In The Fog, Halloween II
White Zombie - I'm Your Boogieman
Alice Cooper - Welcome To My Nightmare
Metallica - Call Of Ktulu
Iron Maiden - Fear Of The Dark

Van Helsing's Curse has some good creepy rock songs.

Check out the Ghastly Ones. Not metal, more haunted surf rock, but damn good..

For my tutorial videos here's some of the songs I used:

Kingdom - David Gahan
Angel - Massive Attack
One Love - Aiden
Force Majeure - Ars Arcana
Tomb Sweet Tomb - Delirium Dog
Tyrannos - Ars Arcana
Dryka - Ars Arcana
River of Joy - Black Lab
A Stone's Throw - Black Lab
This Blood - Black Lab
White Rabbit - Collide
Bloodletting - Concrete Blond
Stay - Delirium Dog
Pompeii - E.S Posthumus

Some other great creepy rock songs:

Not Your Savior - Midnight Syndicate
Lost - Midnight Syndicate
Just Like You Imagined - NIN
Hand that Feeds - NIN
Save Yourself - Stabbing Westward
Breath - Breaking Benjamin
Cry Little Sister - Aiden

Any Static - X, Rob Zombie, Disturbed

I don't know how HARD you like your rock but you can't go wrong with "Lordi" this kick ass Scandinavian Band who wears all these F'd up monster costumes and makes music that's about Monsters and the Devil .. crap like that. There videos are wild also .. "Hardrock Halleluja" "The Devil is a loser" and "Who's your daddy" are good ones but not really Halloweenie (even though the videos are)

Leave it to a bunch of Vikings to bring in that Melt your Face off Rock.

You could give these a play:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOfiziY-htU"]YouTube- Lordi - Would You Love a Monsterman[/ame] - "Would you love a Monster-man"

If you're looking for creepy, you can't get better than Slayer, though their music isn't for the easily offended. The lyrics can be hard to understand and are just brutal. I think these videos include the lyrics so the whole family can sing along
