Mr. Bungle
Of course! Albums "Disco Volante" and "California".
Always weird stuff coming from Mike Patton's projeckts.
And some King Crimson is weird.

I can beat all of those. The ultimate creepy album is Delirium Corda by Fantomas. It's a single 74 min song that is a musical interpretation of a surgery that is taking place while the patient is awake. Scared the F**K out of me! |
wow that sounds immense! for more weird: pink floyd - ummagumma super furry animals captain beefheart and frank zappa the mars volta - deloused has its moments

If you are dismissing the Italians, then you are dismissing the major purveyors of horror music:
VA -"...il tu vivrae nel terrore" Mellow's two cd set of various progbands covering oblin, etc
Libra "Shock" soundtrack
Antonious Rex -Zora
Doctor Doctor
Sorgini - you'll sh*t with tracks like "Surreal" and "Trance"
...others that Wallace forgot.
You find Averock and FM errie??? Wallace is not sure where the feck your coming from.

damn thats a pretty big list! this entire thread is a gold mine for
"errie" prog for me. I dont dismiss the itallians though, I dismiss the
"itallian symphonic progressive rock" term, because it doesnt mean
anything. BMS hardly sounds like themselves, ever, let alone other
itallian bands. It doesnt matter what country you come from, all prog
is different, and I agree with the dude from Nektar- don't the labels
piss you off??
I dont necesarrily mean the most obvious creepy sounding rock. I heard
a goblin tune that was more like Funk than anything, but I guess i have
a lot more to explore. FM is weird because it sounds so cold, and
therefor it comes across as strange. And the weird quiet little synth
blips make it sound dark enough for me. Ave Rock is SWEET!! Underrated
70's argentinian band. "En el universo" is a very sad weird sounding
song to me , id call it creepy sounding
listen

Well maybe not Prog, at least they are not on the Archives, but I always felt that Child In Time by Deep Purple was pretty Creepy.

'Careful with that axe Eugene' by Pink Floyd that's creepy and menacing. My six year old daughter ran out of the room!

Agh, you beat me to it.
Disco Volante is some of the creepiest music ever, gauranteed.
I find 'A Passion Play' pretty weird and unnerving. Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts, Still Life... Peter Hammill solo, obvious stuff.

Well, I didn't see them mentioned (in fact, haven't seen them mentioned anywhere on the forum yet) but any early music from the Residents is pretty creepy. And, I think, Prog as well. Give Fingerprince a listen.
Along the same lines, Renaldo & the Loaf. Sort of silly and creepy all at once.

Gnidrolog's first release is pretty creepy.
Long live... long live... long live... MAN DEAD...!
Several VDGG songs also is kinda scary at times.

VdGG is a good suggestion - particularly Godbluff I think.
Some of Peter Hammill's solo work contains distinctly creepy material - the song Fogwalking on A Black Box is one of the creepiest ever recorded.
The heavy metal genre is full of bands that want to creep you out, though it doesn't usually work for me. If that's an area you're willing to look at, you could do worse than hear Celtic Frosts's recent album Monotheist, a bit of an epic of bleakness and spiritual despair.

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

The creepiest song I know is The Devil's Triangle by KC. Univers Zéro's
La Corne du Bois des Pendus (on Ceux du Dehors) is pretty creepy aswell.

Though I'm not an expert on the subject, if I have to think of creepy prog my mind goes inevitably to Comus' "First Utterance" - cover included. I also agree with "Careful With that Axe, Eugene" (the version in the Live at Pompeii DVD sure is scary!), and Deep Purple's "Child in Time", which was used as part of the soundtrack of one of the most disturbing yet mesmerising films I've ever seen - Lars Von Trier's "Breaking the Waves".
