Nightmare Fuel / Steven Wilson

It's hardly surprising that the former brains behind Porcupine Tree would be perfectly able to cause some bad dreams all on his own. Case in point:

Insurgentes

• The cover◊. "Are you my mummy?"
• "Abandoner".
• The lyrics to "Only Child", which appear to imply a violent murder of some kind.
• From the Insurgentes bonus disc we have "Port Rubicon", which alternates between quiet vocal passages and loud electronic noise.

Grace for Drowning

• Sectarian.
• "Raider II" is definitely this, given the subject matter.

The Raven That Refused to Sing (And Other Stories)

• The song "The Holy Drinker" talks about a guy having a drinking contest with the Devil. He loses, and the song gives a rather..disturbing implication on how he died.
• The metal Scare Chord onward in "The Watchmaker".
• The cover art◊ for the album qualifies as this.

Hand. Cannot. Erase.

• "Routine" borderlines Sanity Slippage, to the point where it feels it's from the perspective of a person with OCD. And let's not even go into the semi-Last Note Nightmare.
• "Ancestral", due to being one of the slower, heavier songs on Hand Cannot Erase and much grittier than the rest of the album.

To the Bone

• "Detonation". It's a song written from the point of view of a religious extremist, and both the instrumentation and lyrics are downright chilling in their ruthlessness.
• "Song of I" is about someone who gives up everything in life for his (or her) sex addiction. They even go so far as to give up being polite, which seems to suggest they gives up their own happiness for sex. The extremely unsettling and suspenseful music doesn't make matters better. And then there's the video. Sweet dreams.
• The papier-mâché-headed man in the tour visuals for "The Same Asylum As Before", specifically his frightened expression with its wide eyes and screaming open mouth.

The Future Bites

• The whole video for "Self", where Steven has several celebrites including Brad Pitt, Robert Downey Jr, Donald Trump, Scarlett Johansson, Hilary Clinton, David Bowie, and several others' deepfaked onto his face, ramming right into the Uncanny Valley. And even without the deepfaking, his Kubrick Stare at the camera is deeply creepy.

Miscellaneous

• "Observer Commercial". It's OK in the context of the advert it was made for, but on its own...
• From his Cover Version series is his interpretation of the English murder ballad "The Unquiet Grave", which was originally featured as a B-side to one of his singles in the Cover Version series. This not only qualifies as Nightmare Fuel (as well as a Tearjerker) for its lyrical content, but also in the way that it's performed and arranged. It's a track that practically drifts through a fog of droning, electronically-processed siren calls as Wilson sings his way through it all in a sweet yet slightly unsettling manner.
• Storm Corrosion in general. It was released the year after Grace for Drowning, and shares that album's dark atmosphere. However, this album succeeds in having an even more foreboding sound due to its folk minimalism, ambient textures and effective use of Drone of Dread.
