Any Venetian Snares album except Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett. Any and all Nero's Day at Disneyland albums. Probably most Throbbing Gristle albums. Most people would consider Skinny Puppy on a thread like this too. All of Coil's albums. Necro Facility...I think we can just stick all old (and in rare cases, new), true industrial music in here. (not the repetitive electro industrial crap we get today. You know, the kind with the chugging, static 4-on-the-floor beats, chirpy synths that have no depth, and 1 dimensional hyper distorted whispery vocals. Yeah. Not that. [/ENDRANT])
This is the kind of thing I'm always hesitant to tell other people I like...but I really really do. It reminds me of how I felt when listening to the weirder more noise influenced Skinny Puppy songs, it just sort of makes sense to me, even though to most people, it's disgusting, and "not music". It's not as powerful and majestic and sweeping as something like Scrapyard or Knowhere?, but it's still quite good.
PIL - Metal Box. came in a metal tin when released in the UK, four 12" singles, later released in lp format called Second Edition.
The music is wild reggae/dub influenced art-music with Lydon's vocals singing what appears to be free verse in a very monotone but obnoxious voice.
Complete punk freak out. Had the pleasure of seeing the band play this live, back in the day. Quite the treat.
Great thread! Thank you for introducing me to Killing Joke and Yggdrasil. Not surprised to hear so many Finnish bands; here's one more: Eläkeläiset's (Pensioners) cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit. The music style is traditional Finnish folk music. Kinda like Finnish Hayseed Dixie.
Japanese Torture... leads the pack in bizareness, though - sounds like they should be on a Miike movie soundtrack.
My favorite bizarre artist is The Young Gods. Heard their Skinflowers on a movie soundtrack, loved it, bought the album. Was like What is this crap. It started growing on me, and they are now one of my all-time favorites. They have some mainstream songs, some bizarre ones, and pure art. This is a representative example of the midde ground:
Let's get serious here, and go into the truly Bizarre.
I'm talking Laibach.
They had quite a few albums, but none as bizarre as their take on two rock icons,
The Beatles Let It Be
and this nugget by the Stones:
and a track not on the above albums but worth playing (really don't take these guys seriously!!)
