Flatbush Zombies have been incorporating horror themes into their music for years, but this unnerving short is one of the most daunting. “Maybe I should have killed four-five hundred people, then I would have felt better,” the infamous cult leader is heard saying, before Meechy Darko’s unique growl manoeuvres its way through a sea of screeching synths. The most recent track on this list, ’Death 2’ opens with an excerpt from a 1987 interview with Charles Manson. Killer lines: “You and your husband have a fight, one of you tries to grab a knife / And during the struggle he accidentally gets his Adam’s apple sliced” Flatbush Zombies, ‘Death 2’ (2013)
A prequel to 1997’s ‘’97 Bonnie & Clyde’, the Led Zeppelin-sampled track hears Slim Shady indulge in a fantasy where he murders his wife Kim Scott, her boyfriend and a child the pair share. His catalogue is littered with twisted tales and deranged fantasies that are often disguised with humour, but ‘Kim is easily the most disturbing. On 1999’s ‘Still Don’t Give A Fuck’, Eminem proclaimed he was a cross between Marilyn Manson, Ozzy Osbourne and horrorcore godfather Esham. Killer lines: “I dug between the chair, and whipped out the machete / She screamed, I sliced her up until her guts were like spaghetti” Eminem, ‘Kim’ (2000) The track also touches on sex and the supernatural, as well as the rejecting of religion in favour of a more theatrical Satanic belief. and Sire Jukebox share disturbing accounts of torturous, cold-blooded murder. Taken from the Geto Boys‘ 1988 debut album ‘Making Trouble’ – before Scarface and Willie D joined the group – it sees Prince Johnny C. Widely regarded as the record that kickstarted the horrorcore genre, ‘Assassins’ is as terrifying as it gets.
Killer lines: “666, I’m sick, so sick, your body’s on the crucifix / Or chopped up and buried inside of a grave” Geto Boys, ‘Assassins’ (1988)
