Horror movies aren’t the only source of scares, thrills and large doses of gore. For years, music videos have presented visual depictions to help bring out the intended soul of a song. Some go far beyond the recording studio, as music videos have become more than just an option for artist to market their music, but the chance for them to project a vision. These videos are sure to raise the hairs on your necks, cause goose bumps to appear and for some, will force you to click the stop button. They are by no means for all tastes. There are those of you who will be greatly disturbed when viewing some of images from the list below. Some are from bands you may not know of, but this does not discredit their music or the director’s vision. It should be noted than several of these videos have been banned from MTV and rightfully so. The Creepiest of them all, The Nine Inch Nail’s “Gave up”, is the most disturbing slice of film, TV and / or movies included, this writer has ever seen. Parental advisory is strongly suggested and a genuine warning is issued to anyone who chooses to view it. Hohol struggled with the idea of actually including the video in the post, but in the end decided not to. With vivid depictions of bondage, torture, murder, necrophilia and cannibalism, it’s just too graphic and would offend too many. Yes, the multiplicity of perspective is what RELATIVITY OnLine is all about, even if that perspective is as disturbing as the video at the top of this list. I will allow you the reader, however, to seek it out on your own if you so choose.
