"Scary music actually excites me, but the piece that most sends shivers down my spine is the music in the shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's film, Psycho. I've seen it numerous times and even though I know what's coming, the stabbing knife synched with Bernard Herrmann's score always freaks me out. More recently, I went through a phase of watching Japanese and Korean horror films."
"I bought this infamous seven-inch from my friend Odin in 1992 he was one of the first people to have DIY living room black-metal distros in the States. We didn't know what this was or which speed to play it, 33rpm or 45rpm. It's really messed up, demented, improvised doom/black metal saturated with agony and torture. There were lots of rumours and stories about their now deceased leader Tony Sarkka, known as IT, some of which have since been validated by Dan Swano, the engineer."
Bernard Herrmann's score for Psycho, especially the shower-scene music, produces repeated shivers even with repeated viewing, with the stabbing-knife synchronization intensifying fear. An obscure Abruptum seven-inch from 1992 exemplifies demented, improvised doom/black metal saturated with agony and torture, and rumors circulated about leader Tony Sarkka and alleged torture during vocal sessions, later partially validated by engineer Dan Swano. Critics challenge black metal's exposure to wider audiences, while some claim darkness appears deeper when exposed to light and that the mainstream can be more disturbed. Sloppy Jane's album Madison attracted attention for being recorded in a cave.
