Backed by screaming guitars and monstrous lyrics, Stigmata is not like most of this list. It isn't freaky in any sense of the word, it's just downright brutally scary. There's no underlying creepiness to it, it's out in the fucking open. Just screeching at you. With only the intensity of a goth industrial metal band like Ministry.
Barreling down the drumline, singer Al Jourgensen starts silently singing with this weird accent (Jourgensen was born in Cuba and raised in America) about truth. It's "stronger than reason, stronger than lies," too bad the only truth he knows is "the look in your eyes." At that look Jourgensen's voice just begin to blasts into the stratosphere. Screaming about how you've run out of lies. This isn't normal metal screaming, either. This is gothic pain from fucking hell.
Then it gets weird. He starts screaming about how he's "chewing on glass" and that it's "in his fingers" (in his fingers? eating his fingers? shrug). Then back to screaming about your lack of lies.
This whole thing goes on for six minutes, constantly screaming about your eyes. They're truthful. They're empty. They're dead.
