Line #1 NightmareFuel/VenetianSnares


1	Within a genre that is already disconcerting at its most benevolent, Venetian Snares somehow manages to be even more unsettling.
2	----
3
4	* From ''Doll Doll Doll'': "All the Children Are Dead". There's the general harshness and theme of the song and the ending, featuring dark ambience and samples such as cries for help, but most of all, there's the samples from ''Radio/CoastToCoastAM'' scattered around the track, which recounts a story involving the deaths of around 75 children. Considering the nature of the show, it may or may not be true, but its placement in the song makes it all the more creepier.
5	** The album already starts creepy enough with all of the unnerving and distorted samples in the first 3 songs. Then "Dollmaker" brings the album's theme of child murder front and center, and the tracks keep getting more disturbing from there.
6	** "Pressure Torture" is a nightmarish song that contains some of the most SensoryAbuse in the album. Even the quiet parts are disturbing, with the samples of terrified children and such. There is one moment before the abrasiveness sets in again that stands out: a woman's voice says "Why are you doing this?" to which a man's voice replies "Because we hate you." These voices are from a ''snuff tape'' with serial killer Leonard Lake and one of his victims, Brenda O'Connor. Given the context, this might just be the most disturbing sample in the entire album.
7	** "Macerate and Petrify" is a break from the album's main themes, but contains distorted, almost inhuman-sounding samples of "Silence" by Delerium and Music/SarahMcLachlan.
8	* ''[[https://web.archive.org/web/20161201205643/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Find_Candace Find Candace]]'', the follow-up to ''Doll Doll Doll'', is equally terrifying. Just look at the cover art. Then you learn about the album's inspiration, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candace_Newmaker Candace Newmaker]], a girl who was suffocated to death during a "rebirthing session". The entire album becomes ''a lot'' more disturbing in that context.
9	* ''Meathole'', arguably a follow-up to both, covers themes of murder, stalking, psychosis, and true crime. Of note is SKM-ETR's contribution to "Contain" somehow creepier than any actual song he ever sampled lyrics from.
10	** "Szycag", the album closer, starts off well, save for a sample of someone vomiting at the beginning and some creepy whispers partway through, but turns the SensoryAbuse up a notch in the end, with the beats becoming much harsher and more frequent to the point where it sounds like the song itself is descending into madness.
11	* From ''Rossz Csillag Alatt Született'' comes "Ongyilkos Varsanap," which samples "Gloomy Sunday", a song allegedly connected to various suicides.
12	** It isn't even the scariest song on the album; thanks to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxfQaTl25EI "Második Galamb"]], you will never hear the word "pigeon" the same way again.
13	* ''Making Orange Things'', a collaboration album with Speedranch, is so [[LoudnessWar loud]] and [[SensoryAbuse abrasive]] that it can come off as terrifying.
14	** The first half of "Tushe Love", containing suspenseful and metallic dark ambient noises. The second half [[note]] Which is also NSFW due to the sounds of people having sex.[[/note]] is more abrasive and disconcerting than creepy, though.
