As those pumpkins are carved, spooky decorations adorn houses across the United Kingdom, and an underlying dread of who might be knocking looms, it is officially Halloween season—or, to our other friends reading this, a joyous Samhain.
But what about your music choices this year? Whether you're throwing a full-blown house party or just setting a theme for the time of year, there are countless playlists to choose from on Spotify, Deezer, and beyond. But with such an abundance of music out there, what should you really be adding?
Maybe we can help—and yes, maybe this might be a challenge to your senses, too.
We've created a Dante's Inferno of dread, with 13 levels of horror and despair that escalate from the unnerving start of our playlist through to the absolute extremes of music.
We dare you to brave this musical journey this year. Consider this our ultimate 'Trick or Treat'—just be warned, some of these songs are not for the faint of heart.
13. The Berzerker — Forever
I won't lie - even I still feel unnerved by the sheer apex of aggression this track brings. The Berzerker deliver an onslaught of industrial metal that is almost impossible to withstand. The non-stop blast beats, initially courtesy of a drum machine, high BPM, and distorted vocals, create a suffocating and extreme sound that leaves no room for reprieve. It’s the ultimate sound of unbridled, aggressive terror - and not one for the faint of heart. | Last.FM
