the songs start off very quiet and slow, and when everything kicks in (they are VERY heavy atmospheric sludge) it has scared the piss out of me multiple times
Nathan Parker
Samurai Sword. every fucking time.
Oliver Roberts
Black Dice - Head Like A Door
scared the hell out of me
Isaiah Lopez
Neurosis is fond of doing this as well, listen to Locust Star.
Jordan Lopez
When I was listening to Loveless in bed I was about to fall asleep as To Here Knows When was fading out and the intro of When You Sleep almost gave me a heart attack.
Swans tend to do this on their most recent records due to being quiet and then suddenly blossoming into massive slabs of sound. I don't really see people mentioning this about them, and I might be wrong, but I think they often play in odd time-signatures. Especially in their early days it's quite difficult to anticipate the next beat in a song.
Brayden Wilson

Came in here just to make sure this was posted. I listened to this album in the dead of night and thought it was going to be a nice comfy EP of Tibet on piano and what not.
Then the second track came in. Fuck me. I almost jumped out of my skin.
If I recall right, I've been listening to a lot of C93 recently, Pretty Little Horses has something like this too. In the middle of the record, there is just a DIE out of nowhere that spooked me on first listen.
I think Frankie Teardrop is the scariest thing to be made in any medium. The only thing that comes close is that one scene in Mulholland Drive.
Oliver Torres
I remember that first time I heard Swans Helpless Child, I was almost asleep, and then that first massive drum hit came it and scared the shit out of me. Almost literally.
Sebastian Flores
>that one scene in Mulholland Dr Care to share, user?
Aiden Wright
vimeo.com/101462824 It doesn't really spoil anything in the movie if you're worried at all
Caleb Martinez
About a 1:17 in in the remix of the downward spiral title track by NIN The scream is distorted and out of fucking nowhere after a quiet intro.
Christopher Cooper
On SFTB when The Final Sacrifice starts playing, you think at first that it's a fairly calm track. Then:: >STEP INSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE I Love You This Much was the scariest in an atmospherical, eerie way but holy fuck that moment is so piercing it made me flinch.
>vimeo.com/101462824 that scene is really fucking weird, i love the movie but that scene always gets me
Adam Russell
The end of first song on the new clppng album gave me quite a spook
Angel Edwards
the transiton between Ganbou-Ki and Hama on Boris' Amplifier Worship sometimes gets me
Grayson Campbell
the first time I listened to Giles Corey s/t >3am summer night >headphones on, volume all the way up >Nobody's Ever Going to Want Me >6:28 it caught me way off guard
These too lol
Jaxon Hall
Frankie Teardrop
Ayden Stewart
Giles Corey -nobody will ever love me
That last stretch after listening to some faggot buzz around a mic made me actually get angry. It's manipulating my emotions so I never bothered with hi. Again.
Dylan Baker
Came here to post this
Jonathan Morales
>anyway >MUUUUUUUURDER THEY SAY
Luke Jones
youtube.com/watch?v=b0toHJ7gCf4 The sudden vocal sound in Haxan Cloak's 'Miste' can catch you a couple of times if you get too relaxed.
This band doesn't scare me, the fans will probably mutilate me if they think I'm a fag(like OP), and usually people are terrified of their music
Jason Wilson
I was dozing off when this happened ;w; >IIIIII WILLLL MUUUUUUUURDER YOUUUUU
Jace Clark
The first track (I think) on Forteresse's debut album, the fucking folk intro is mixed way lower than the blastfest that kicks in after like 30 seconds. Really sucks with headphones.
