![]() ![]() What makes it stand out as creepier than your average black metal fare is the performance on this thing by vocalist Vindsval. However, this album, released all the way back in 2001, has much more of that classic black metal sound. Without a doubt the most popular band on this list, Blut Aus Nord has caught wide success due to their progressive stylings and unique approach to black metal. Blut Aus Nord – The Mythical Beast of Rebellion.The production sounds terrible in that uniquely black metal way that means “good,” amplifying her frightening vocals even more. With demonic vocals from the aptly named solo artist Possessed Demoness, the songs on this album sound like what you’d hear at Satan’s orgy. This album is titled Cold and that is exactly how it sounds. It might come off as cheesy to you if you aren’t a DSBM fan, but to me, it drags me right back to the darkest places I’ve ever been and forces me to confront them. Particularly the track “Don’t Go.” I do not recommend listening to that song post-breakup because it is, without a doubt, the darkest breakup song I’ve ever heard. But that brings us to this Happy Days album, which is simply the saddest DSBM album I’ve ever heard. If you are familiar with me as a person, you know I suffer from self-harm and depression and have attempted myself, so these albums bring me to those dark places and are more frightening than thinking there’s a demon in my room. Warning you all now: there are quite a bit of DSBM picks on here. Terrifying vocals cascade over heavy instrumentation with creepy samples of things like children and gunshots. One thing comes to mind when you think of Lifelover and it especially comes to mind when you look at this album cover: blood and suicide. They are one of the forefathers of DSBM and were known for their incredible stage presence, with bloody, self-inflicted wounds dripping onto the stage and their instruments. This band is one of the most well-known on the list for good reason. All you have to do to be creeped out (or turned on if you’re gay and have a blood fetish, like me) is look at the cover. It wasn’t too difficult for me to decide which Lifelover album would be here. I’m going to start you off nice and easy with some classic picks and easier to digest black metal. ![]()
