Body Horror
Organic & disturbing.
Body horror is organic and disturbing. It wants the listener to feel it physically, not just hear it.
The sounds that work are wet, fleshy and close: gore foley, breaths, groans, and acoustic instruments recorded so close you can hear the bow grinding on the string. Used as percussion, a squelch or a crunch on the downbeat says more than another drum hit.
Layer these under your music rather than on top of it. You want the listener to sense something physical is happening without quite being able to tell what.
