Frenches are damn scary
I wonder how many people know Horrific Child...
European music is what I prefer, particularly French and Belgian music.
I listened one song(Angoisse) because of your post. It was disturbing. The group had an excellent idea, but it didn't go ahead with it. A second Horrific Child album would be really interesting.

"Hand Of Doom" - Black Sabbath
Probably the most frightening thing they ever recorded.
"Running Gun Blues" - David Bowie
Don't know what scarier: the subject matter or a crazed ex-soldier or the cheerful presentation of said subject matter.
"Trust Us" - Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band
I remember hearing "The path is truth and let the dying die" for the
first time and having the warmth of my room being sucked out.
Also: Theme from A Clockwork Orange "Heroin" - The Velvet Underground "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" - Pink Floyd "Lemmings" - Van Der Graaf Generator "The Knife" - Genesis

Don't know if I've said things in this thread before, but the only piece of music to make me tense/nervous/etc is Art Zoyd's Le Champ Des Larmes.

there was Swiss (or Belgian?) band in 70thies, similar to VdGG in instrumentation ( organ and woodwinds, no guitar) but much more dark and disturbing, with bizarre vocals (varies from spoken word to scream and "cookie monster" type ) don't remember the band name
Not a prog piece but ... The Everly Brothers - Bye bye Love . Absolutely cheerful, until you get to the lyrics - "Good bye happiness, hello loneliness, today I'm gonna die".
Probably more subversive but worth a thought perhaps.
That organ piece made me think of Eric Satie's "Messe des pauvres" for solo organ, a piece with strange harmonies I like very much . Towards the ending you could say it's a bit "scary". But it's more powerful and mystical than scary.
