A bit of background: every October I have a playlist of “Spooky” metal that I like to play, yknow, Halloween ‘n’ all. I’m always on the lookout for more to add, and I thought this could be a good discussion/opportunity to share some good music! It can include either Halloween-themed songs or songs with a genuinely creepy atmosphere.

Anyway, here’s my contribution of a few songs (there’s more where that came from, if you’re interested):

  • Metal Church - The Dark
  • Municipal Waste - Grave Dive
  • Onslaught - Witch Hunt
  • Overkill - Burn You Down To Ashes
  • Overkill - Overkill II
  • Overkill - Overkill III
  • Overkill - Playing with Spiders/Skullkrusher
  • Slayer - Chemical Warfare
  • Slayer - At Dawn They Sleep
  • Slayer - Crypts of Eternity
  • Slayer - Tormentor
  • Sodom - Outbreak of Evil
  • Sodom - Blasphemer
  • Tankard - Zombie Attack
  • Venom (most of their early songs XD e.g. Don’t Burn the Witch)
