I had this phase where I would constantly try to find the edgiest, hardest hitting, and most brutal music I could find. Here's basically my compendium of edgy music.

Allegedly the screams of mental patients. I feel like it's faked, but, still, pretty edgy.

Allegedly music, also allegedly produced by instruments made from human bones.

Allegedly, the vocalist for this track is claustrophobic and was locked in a coffin for the recording of this.
Honorable mentions -
Buyers Market, for actually just being the most uncomfortable hour of 'music' I've ever experienced to the point where I can't call it edgy.

This, for honestly being just funny.
And, of course, Japanoise artists The Gerogerigegegege and Hanatarash, for being completely fucking nuts to the core, with stunts including public vacuum cleaner masturbation, crossdressing, selling albums that were just octopus tentacles put into a box, having a track that's just 10 minutes of someone taking a shit, having a track that's just the Japanese national anthem dubbed over two people having (what sounds like) unfulfilling sex, being restrained after trying to throw a molotov cocktail onto the stage, throwing a dead cat into the audience, doing some sort of stunt with circular saws that almost ended with (I believe) the frontman for the Boredoms almost losing his fucking legs, and of course, driving a construction vehicle through a venue.
Noise is an... Acquired taste, yeah. I honestly can't stand the vast majority of either of those Japanoise bands. I stick to Merzbow's more relaxed releases and collaborations, as well as Masonna. Whitehouse had more disruptive, but less destructive public fuckery, while being infinitely more musical (as in, there's elements of actual rhythm in their music. Woooow.). Like, they billed themselves as a synthpop act, and attracted the Peter Gabriel crowd, did their thing, started riots, and then got kicked out of whatever club they were playing in.I'm digging these. Edgy as hell. The problem with that Japanese band is they mostly just sound like complete shit. The general concept and overall motherfuckery is pretty sound as a public schtick, though.
Also that first one. Wow.
It's even actually good for certain values of "good."
As sort of a palate cleanser, this old Adult Swim bump that was notoriously creepy enough to inspire a creepypasta.

This one wins 'edgiest lyrics' by far.
Glenn Beck recently called it "Anti-American."I love when Republicans use "Born in the U.S.A." in their campaign material. First because Bruce always calls them out on their shit and tells them to go fuck themselves, but second, because have they even fucking listened to the song? It doesn't mean what they think it does.
(Democrats shouldn't use that song either. For the same reasons.)
if memory serves, it was about and directed at Tracey Emin
Anaal Nathrakh are also amazing and some of the darkest music I've heard.
