The Most Disturbing Albums That I Know

Overview

The video is a personal rundown of the narrator’s most “disturbing” albums, framed around a specific idea: an album is truly disturbing when every part of it—its context, its sound, and the way it makes your body react—“shakes you to your core,” not just because it’s edgy or shocking.

Core albums and standout reactions

Āt̄rex Morgue — In Search of Death (Death Industrial, Italy)

• The narrator describes it as extremely abrasive, hateful, and perverse, but argues the real source of disturbance is the artist’s life.
• They claim it reflects Marco Corbelli’s extreme self-loathing and hatred of life, citing that he committed suicide in 2007.
• The narrator leans into the “morbid/ghostly” feeling, saying the music feels like an embodiment of someone on the verge of death.

Genocide Organ

• Another death industrial project, with a different emotional focus: misanthropy and cruelty toward humanity, especially regarding atrocities.
• The narrator emphasizes that Genocide Organ fixates on “forgotten/esoteric” historical horrors rather than the most commonly known ones.
• They call it an endurance test, with dense, crushing sound meant to mirror humanity’s weight and brutality.

In all their tongues — … (promoted as a future “explaining video”)

• The narrator describes it as one-man black metal, but with heavy industrial, dark ambient, and noise experimentation.
• They say it feels like being trapped in a torture chamber for over an hour—no relief, only suffocation.
• A major highlight is disturbing audio samples (including screaming/pleading), which the narrator compares to the audio of a snuff film.
• They also tease a joke about not asking for the full explanation yet, since they’re working on a separate video.

Black Mountain Transmitter — Black Go of the Woods

• Minimalistic drone/dark ambient/synth work, but the narrator says it feels “otherworldly” and unnatural, which makes them paranoid.
• They describe it as the “uncanny valley” as a sound—nothing feels real or comfortable.

Peter Sotos — Buyer’s Market

• The narrator warns it’s basically all audio samples (not “music” in the usual sense), featuring children describing a crime.
• They admit they tried it and couldn’t even get far (only about 2.5 minutes), because it would be unsettling no matter what.

John Zorn — Crystal Knoll

• Presented as sinister and more realistic than his usual chaotic/frantic style.
• The album is tied to the Night of Broken Glass (Nazi attacks on Jewish homes/synagogues).
• A key reaction: the narrator says Zorn includes German-sounding speeches that drown out or blend with the music, making the instruments feel like background cries for help.
• The narrator calls it the most disturbing material they’ve heard from Zorn.

Scott Walker — The Drift (2006)

• The final pick stands out because the disturbance isn’t mainly lyrical—it’s musical and performance-based.
• They say Walker’s singing sounds unnatural, like he’s singing with his “last breath.”
• The instrumentation is described as highly abstract and uneasy, with organs/synths creating an atmosphere where it feels like “hell opening up.”
• They emphasize it’s the only album that makes their skin crawl purely from how it’s played.

Notable jokes / framing moments

• The narrator repeatedly notes that others might find these albums enjoyable, but they’re focusing on the sensation of being emotionally/mentally shaken.
• They tease a future “explaining video” for In all their tongues and warn viewers not to ask about it yet.
• They repeatedly warn viewers about especially graphic/disturbing sampling-heavy material—particularly Peter Sotos — Buyer’s Market—framing it like a “don’t even try” challenge.

Main plot / through-line

The video’s through-line is the narrator’s argument that “disturbing” music isn’t just about darkness or shock value. It’s disturbing when the artist’s intent, historical context, and the sound design combine to create an inescapable, visceral unease.
