Scary Metal
Lummer:
Hell yes Gorguts.
I also really, really like Gaza. They have a real menacing, lurching vibe to them which I love, and they are SO good live!

i don't agree??? i'm with you that the bands you listed are scary but there is some mortifying shit in metal, like that one record where the rumour is that the dude managed to get such an anguished scream by stabbing himself at the appropriate moments.
Johnny C:
i bought a two-10" ep by this band velvet cacoon who claimed that the guitar tone on their first record was so searing and nasty because they powered their amps with blood or something
Vuk:
I'm not denying that there are bands that do scary shit in metal, I just don't think it can really live up to what bands like Throbbing Gristle do. Though not always traditional, metal almost always has some form of structure, thus reducing its fucked-up factor - the fact that it's hard to comprehend what's going on in stuff like Throbbing Gristle's Heathen Earth, is what makes it so scary. Just my two cents, though.
SWOON! at My Gravitas:
Infester- American death metal. These dudes make Incantation sound like easy-listening muzak
Mitochondrion- Canadian band that takes the war metal sound pioneered by Blasphemy (drums and vocals way up front with guitars buried in the mix), and introduces technical + progressive elements. It's a very interesting album, I'll have to up it later tonight to the mf!re thread for all to hear.
