Having a hard time embedding videos today, so I'll just leave behind names and artists for later.

Deathwish - Red Sun Rising. (I really love these guys, to be honest!) Apocalyptic.

Bloodfeather - Highly Suspect (again, love this band.) A bloodfeather is someone who will hurt you/is hurting you, but you still refuse to hate.
Lydia - Highly Suspect - Drugs, murder, and whatnot.

I thought 'la petite mort' was a slang term for an orgasm?  Like, Victorian era slang?

It is. The song is definitely a play on word for that though the topic is creepy.

starts sounding like a kid left home alone misbehaving, turn out it's about a dumped gf who destroys her ex's home, this cover is better than the original imho and also darker (incl self harm and gun stuff)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCEHgzwd8Ks

Somehow, the idea that Traci Lords had an album is kind of disturbing in itself...

Yes! I discovered her 'other' interests (?) googling for more songs… I first thought it was someone else with the same name.

Based on the true-life story of sixteen year old Brenda Ann Spencer, who on being asked 'why?' after shooting dead two adults and injuring six children at a local school from the window of her house, replied with;

"I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day."

Sooo Chester Bennington wrote and sang this song exactly 8 years before he committed suicide.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZIummTz9mM


and this one a few months beforehand...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY9v147BZuE

Those who are fans of Linkin Park will know that Chester had been battling depression on and off for most of his life. Therefore it is believed that he was apologising for his own death in both songs. With this in mind, it makes the songs more haunting when you listen to the lyrics. It is clear that he had thought about it long enough that he left behind the songs like this.

Rest in peace Chester. You will be remembered for your profound lyrics and powerful voice that touched people who suffered like you. Thank you.

Some more than others (number 7 is about Star wars and really cool, 3 5 9 16 are really gloomy, 14 is VERY disturbing). Basically about life in the poor areas in Marseille. Violence, prostitution, forced veiling, islamization, drug, dowries, everything.

Lilias

Trees of Eternity, Hour of the Nightingale

There's nothing inherently disturbing about this album; it is, in fact, heartbreakingly beautiful gothic/doom metal of the fine Finnish school, perfect for building atmosphere this time of year. Everyone will probably have a favourite track (mine is 'Eye Of Night'). What just cranks up the eerie factor is knowing that the singer, who is primarily responsible for the atmosphere, had died several months before the album's release - had likely been, knowingly or not, desperately ill during its creation. A textbook haunting experience.
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

TheLionKing

Maxwell's Silver Hammer- The Beatles. It's rather catchy and upbeat for a song about a serial killer

Lyron

There aren't YouTube videos for either of these, probably because BadFlower is fairly new and their debut album was released only recently, but the songs are available on Spotify:

"Daddy", which is a song about a girl who grew up with a sexually abusive father and kills him at the end.

"Girlfriend", where a guy is stalking a girl on social media and eventually wants to take the "relationship" to the next level by meeting her in real life.

(I already mentioned "Ghost", about suicide, up thread.)

Munnin

Hollywood Undead - Bullet

(Heard that song in some baby care advertisement)
I'm still on my feet, so everything is not lost.
Life always teaches arrogant surrender first.
Not for the sake of trophies and awards. For the sake of triumph over evil and meanness! For the purpose of good!

No doubt! No worries! I know the price of victory and the bitterness of defeat.
In the moment of truth, on the path to enlightenment, I am ready to fight my shadow.

Aaand I've discovered I NEVER saw the real clip before now. It's still banned on YouTube and others. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5i6340

That one was 'georestricted' for me - but I actually did find one on YouTube, just by searching the name of the song.  And if the real one was banned, I've got some words for YouTube's algorithm. O_O

No - it wasn't live.  It was labelled 'Official Video'.  Guy keeps getting caught by his wife with one (or more) other women.

Thumbnail is SFW, video gets - oof.  Warnings for nudity and violence.

If it pleases the jury I would like to throw a couple of cents into the musical fountain.

I love that so many 90's bands showed up, and then I saw the prog of Marillion get mentioned and I figured I would have to chime in. So without further ado I offer:



Trigger Happy Jack - Poe
No dysfunction in this relationship.

Fall Down - Toad the Wet Sprocket
I believe that this was written regarding the sexual assault of a friend or girlfriend of the lead singer. Also, isolation, depression and withdraw

Intruder - Peter Gabriel
Just a creepy all around song. Maybe not popular but Peter Gabriel was hitting on all cylinders mid 80's.

These songs jumped to my mind regarding the topic.
