"SCARY",,,,,,,,,,Starship Africa by CREATION REBEL !
Often spoken of as being the perfect "Soundtrack" to a heavy movie.

To me definitely all the songs I know by the obscure UK group called Black Symbol.
Songs such as "Everything Has It's Time", "In The Name Of Jah Jah" and "Non A Jah Jah Children" are all heavy and obscure deep roots reggae tunes, all VERY dark, threatening, and also scary depending on when specifically you are listening to it.
Blessings,

Not my most favourite band, but Ku Klux Klan by Steel Pulse is a nasty piece of work.
@leggo
regarding 'Mid Yu Dis' - already tried it and it doesn't work (in my town anyway!)

Oh yes, def-i-nate-ly, seleta. Don't have to be loud or stepping to be a menace. And the singer don't have to be no big noisy shouter either as another keith hudson tune makes clear: Horace Andy, "Don't Think About Me (I'm Alright".
But if you DO want loud menace, Junior Delgado, "Broadwater Farm". Kaiser Chumps might say "I Predict A Riot" but Jux's tune was right there before the Farm burned. The people suffer so, and you can hear it in every doom-laden note. Tough times deliver tough tunes.

Junior Delgado - Storm is coming ... also Famine, Fort Augustus
Christel & Goldmasters all stars - Government man

Enforcers - Pay them

He's been mentioned a few times already---Keith Hudson.
"True, True, True to My Heart", "Sinners", "Black Heart."
There's a reason he was called "Dark Prince of Reggae."
Keith Rowe's "Groovy Situation" produced by Scratch is another strange, dark tune. The woman in the background sounds like she's moaning, crying and laughing throughout the song.
Fun thread. Peace and Love to all.
