Spooky Songs and Terrifying Tunes

OK, Halloween is today, so before you go trick or treating and getting drunk as shit and hitting on underage girls in costumes, you might wanna check out some of these albums to give yourself an extra spook on this ghoulish occasion:

Stalaggh - Projekt Misanthropia
















Stalaggh was an anonymous trio that used criminally insane mental patients to do the vocals for their noise-driven "Misanthropik Nihilistik Audio-Terror" music. They wanted "the pain and hatred in the vocals to be real and not acted," And boy, does some real pain shine through here on this abomination of human expression. This is scary stuff. Enter if you dare.


Abigail - Blasphemy Night












Calling themselves "the most evil band in Japan", Abigail's lo-fi garage demo of spookmire and darkness deserves a spot on this list for some reason.


Anton LaVey - The Satanic Mass


















Pretty self-explanatory. This is an actual recording of a Satanic Mass, led by Anton LaVey, leader of the Church of Satan. Pretty goddamn doomy you can imagine, so is a must for
anyone's candy basket of evil.


Boris Karloff - Tales of the Frightened Volume I


















Boris Karloff reading some hair-raising ghost stories. See, look how raised his hair is in this picture. 'Nuff said.

Screaming Lord Sutch And The Savages - Comp
Maybe the spookiest man in rock and roll history. With Hair even more raised the Boris Karloff, you know this is going to be ghoulish. Heres a collection of some horrifying rock n roll tracks from the man himself.


Scientist - Rids the World of the Curse of theVampires
Here's some ghastly dub for you all. Very fiendish dubs on this album. Just look at all the boogins scientist is riding the world of in his swamp buggy of dubbish horror.


Danzig - I and II
a double dose of danzig, because who loves satan, death and all things spooky more than danzig. C'mon just look at the cross and chest hair.(i pretty much posted this just for the album cover.)


Those Poor Bastards - Hellfire Hymns
Misery, desperation, damnation, repent for yer sins now or face eternity of burning, and, torture in satans kingdom of hell. Those Poor Bastards are some of the most lonesome and miserable gothic country yer sinful ears have ever heard.


ARE YOU SPOOKED? STARTLED? DARE I SAY SCARED? OH I BET YOU ARE. I BET YOU ARE SUCKING ON YOUR THUMBS CRYING WISHING YOU NEVER HAD CLICKED ON THIS GRISLY COLLECTION OF AUDIO HELL. WISHING A GHOULISH GRIM HALLOWEEN FROM ALL OF US HERE AT ROBIN WILLIAMS KNUCKLES. AND REMEMBER TO LOCK YOUR DOORS OR LORD SPOOKMIRE WILL GANK YER SHIT AND EAT YOUR SOUL. HAIL SATAN 666 DEATH

Nervous Norvus-Stone Age Woo the Zorch Sound Of Nervous Norvus


Its that time of year again when the leaves turn, the children dress up and ring my door bell all night asking for candy and i have to tell them i don't have any because I ended up getting to drunk eating it all and throwing it up in the backyard. Yes! Thats right it's a Halloween fun for all. What a better way to start The Hallo-weekend then with Nervous Norvus the 50's (god i hate to call him this but) "novelty rocker" . This is a collection of all of his singles(and possibly all of his recordings). Norvus wrote the majority of these songs as a demo service writing them so other people could preform them. But Enough pre-history lets get to the sound. Nervous Norvus mixes his brand of 50's acoustic rock n roll with NOISE yes thats right noise sounds of car crashes, blood curdling screams, Insane warp sounds of UFO's. The lyrical content range from outer space aliens to baboons, to elvis, to love. All in All Nervous Norvus will be sure to Spook and please any guests you are planning on entertaining this Halloween. Best Spooky Tracks: The Fang, Kibble Kibble(The Flying Saucer Song), Stone Age Woo, and Blackout song

Disemballerina-S/T


This is one of the most crushingly beautiful albums i have heard in so long. Incredibly powerful music played on a viola, harp, cello and acoustic guitar. It sounds like a renaissance era existential crisis. just really strong, reflective, Beautiful music. MUST LISTEN

Movements are Systems, Systems Kill, yes thats right home boy systems KILL.

Oneohtrix Point Never - Returnal



This is an absolute must, must, must have for any fans of Brian Eno, Tim Hecker, Fennesz, Wolfgang Voigt and other noise/drone artists. This very well may be my pick for Best Album of 2010. The first track sounds like the creation of the Sun or something, definitely the coolest song I've heard in a long time. The rest of the album just makes you feel like you're gently sinking deeper and deeper into a K hole. Pretty crazy shit, man. Who needs drugs when you got this shit

Tim Hecker - Apondalifa

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Super intense 7" of just crazy, beautiful Tim Hecker noise. It's only 9 minutes long, but it's soundscape is about as giant as the above picture. I'm tepted to call it a wall of noise, but I think it'd be more appropriate to call it a sky of noise, or something along those lines. Yeah. Here's a preview of half of the song right here:TIM HECKER - APONDALIFA (SIDE A) by ROOM40

And Here's the whole thing

Munly and The Lupercalians-Bootleg


This man eats, Sleeps, and breaths Gothic Americana. Dark, depraved, and desperate vocals paint the picture on a canvas of banjo, and guitar. Every time Munly comes out with a new project, I am blown away. This is his newest band The Lupercalians (who's new full length album "Petr and The Wulf" has just come out, I will post it when i find a mediafire link.But its only 8 buck on ITunes and i really suggest you buy it if you like this album.) the band adorns robes and hoods reminiscent of the KKK but in realty it is traditional pagan ceremonial garb, so needless to say these guys would be a trip to see. The band is made up of two church organs two percussionists and munly on banjo at the center, giving them the sound of a backwoods pagan group dancing in the moonlight.

I Don't Feel at Home in This world Anymore-V/A


There is one thing that i will always truly love no matter where my music journey takes me and that is primitive and roots music. i love anything primitive anything old timey anything that sound like they were cooking bacon over the recording because of how the pops and cracks of the old, vinyl or acetate on the recording, hearing the needle pressing into the record, there is nothing in the world that sounds better. This record is a great example of these things "I Don't feel at home in this world anymore" is a collection of various artists recordings from 1927-1948 and it is beautiful ,immigrants, natives and travelers sing their songs for you in this masterpiece collection. HIGHLY RECOMENDED

The Tallest Man On Earth-Sometimes the Blues is Just a Passing Bird (EP)


Here at robin williams knuckles we like this guy, weve posted his music before , this is his new E.P. . Mostly the same great folk you'd expect but this time he throws in some electric guitar and organ in one track(and im thinking really little sound effects here and there through out). But enough technical mumbo jumbo. I have noticed that that this guy seems to put out new albums or i discover his new albums just when i need them. He keeps finding new ways to make me remember old things, both in his music and in my life.

One of my favorite bands. I posted their stuff before and now freddy ruppert is back with the same brand of sad synthy post-punk we all love. This is a remix,covers, and outakes album(all from the new album that hasnt come out yet but is comming out soon.) This is more than a good snack to hold you over this is a meal.
