Thread: Any prog Halloween songs?

  1. #1

    Any prog Halloween songs?

    I like making compilations, and would love to put together a progressive Halloween comp. Rules are pretty relaxed; if the title of the song is scary, or the band name is scary, or even if the song just sounds ominous, I'm in.

    Ideas?

    Thanks!

    Hmmm . . .

    Bob Drake's - "The Skull Mailbox (And Other Horrors) seems like it would be perfect for Halloween

    "Severed Moon" by Djam Karet
    "Xenantaya" by Univers Zero

    Not totally proggy, but not totally unproggy either (still great) -

    "The Insect God" by The Monks of Doom
    "The Mariner's Revenge Song" by The Decemberists
    "The Shankill Butchers" by The Decemberists

    I always think of metal as being more in the halloween vein, rather than prog. Still, the most recent Steven Wilson album is all ghost storoies, so you should find something there.

    "The White Ship" & "At The Mountains Of Madness" by HP Lovecraft (the band, not the horror author)

    This album and band is more or less officially recognized as the premium conveyor and messenger of obtuse chaos force in progressive rock music, so enjoy.

    Jeeez you're easily scared, Frankie. No, let's get real! You get into the mood with some incense and mescaline underneath an orange blanket that's gone cold in the freezer for a couple of hours, your left big toe embalmed in formaline anal cream and the right testicle attached to a knotted piece of piano string right out of the deepfryer, 'Collected quotes from S. Palin' the only written word at hand and donning a lowfat weisswurst, and crank up THIS fucker:

    Fantômas - Delìrium Còrdia

    Also, "D.O.A." by Bloodrock isn't necessarily prog, but it's a great Halloween song.
