A Disturbing Music Mystery Returns
In 2017, a series of conversations between an unknown music producer and a record label owner would lead to the upload of 6 disturbing albums... And now, 4 years since the last release, a 7th album has surfaced.
I have covered all 6 releases, and the disturbing stories behind them, on my channel in the past. Check out that video here if you are not fully up to date: • A Disturbing Online Mu...

Or there is no Begotten and Dennis made up the entire thing as a marketing ploy to promote his own music.
I've always assumed Begotten is Dennis considering that Ghost Bath also lied about being from China originally to drum up interest.
Yeah mate, either way though I can at least hella dig the story.
@@jeffersonbaker2904 this is what I think too. Self-promotion. It's fine though, considering the quality of the releases.
@@b0nkb0nkb0nk Yeah I don't mind it. I've just never bought it.
word, it's all so fucking transparent and manufactured
“all he knew, was that he had to do something.” *releases vinyl pressing*
I’ll admit though, you do a great job with these videos. You make them sound so much better sometimes than they actually are. I do want to thank you for introducing me to towers, nullobite, and hallmark 87!
Dennis is the dude behind Ghost Bath, a "black metal" act controversial for declaring they were a chinese band when they first came out. Dennis is known for creating fake and fantastical tales to get buzz around his music. Dennis is Geometric Lullaby & Begotten.
A group with a manifesto, commandments, and cult like behavior set to meet up in meat space in October...my mind immediately jumped to the Oct 7 attacks and i desperately hope that im wrong. It happening period is a tragedy, but id hate to think Begotten was roped into this tragedy.
An alleged cult on bandcamp sounds like a rabbit hole in an of itself. That is assuming it's real and not just a bunch of dumb young people being edgy.
I've assumed this entire project was dumb bandcamp edginess. It's fun to follow if you don't read into it too deeply as it updates
I suspect it's all a narrative, though it would be sad if all of this is true because the way its delivered just feels too much like the beginning of some online fictional story. EDIT: also something like 'Halloween Mixtape' states Mindspring Memories was involved in the making of that one, some other people must have known this group, unless it was remixed afterwards
I’m pretty sure it’s just a story
I think begotten is just the Geometric Lullaby's creator
@@Yuuu_mI’m 110% certain it is. Look up Ghostbath’s history.
"his band mates had no idea of the significance"
Guys, you don't get it!!! That was Begotten, a vaporwave guy that does edgy stuff on Bandcamp!
His band mates looked at each other then shrugged.
More like, he told his band mates, "I've got this great BS story to market my new album of vaguely spooky sleep noise!". And they said, "Great. Now can you carry some gear? We wanna get out of this shithole and get home tonight!".
dropping this in friday the 13th was a perfect move, I really love the niche and unique rabbit holes that you showcase, keep the great work Pad!
Thanks! Will do!! appreciate ya stopping by!
I still don't really think these stories are real but man are they fun spooky spooky story.
Begotten is literally just a Geometric Lullaby project
If you've followed Ghost Bath, it's pretty clear that Dennis enjoys making lore projects. Nothing wrong with that. It's pretty fun, I'd say
It's a cool way to get people to listen to your music that may otherwise get lost in the endless shuffle.
Ghost Bath sucks.
Same
This story would be so much more interesting if begotten's music was actually mysterious and unorthodox instead of like, slowed and reverb beattapes. Like all of the music videos are pretty basic stuff. Most of the images are pretty clearly taken from other parts of the internet and one of the albums samples fucking spooky scary skeletons.
My theory is that this is all Dennis. It’s too elaborate of a story. For an obscure unknown label as well as a fairly unknown band, doing something like this makes perfect sense to bring attention to your self. **** update on this. I’m pretty positive it’s Dennis. Hear me out.. The Chinese emailed on forgive and forget is the note left by Death from Mayhem , at least lines from it. and Dennis would of recognized this immediately as his band is categorized as “black metal” so I’m sure he knows the Mayhem history. His band also “ gained notoriety for marketing themselves as being from China”. The music is cool and the story behind it is interesting. Good marketing.
begotten is just Geometric Lullaby's owner and he wrote a very amateur thriller to hype up his project. The story writing is better this time but there's zero mystery to this artist.
I would love to see a sequel to 2019’s “13 disturbing albums” video
always wanted to make a sequel for that
@@PadChenningtonYES
@@PadChennington That vid forever changed my music taste with Sountracks for The Blind, I'd give you my lung for a sequel
I’ve listened to the original story video you made at least 4 times. Makes for a great tale, real or not.
Bro labeling every Geometric Lullaby release as "Disturbing" for clickbait while they're simply albums with a dark atmosphere.
Babe wake up, Pad just uploaded.
wake up tha whole house
Eh, Never mind....
You can go back to sleep.
🪰
Babe, im not your 'babe', im your mother. Come up with an original youtube comment
Hey Pad you have the best videos in the whole bizarre music community. Always enjoy your work, your harsh noise videos are the best!!
thanks so much for the kind words! Those are always some of my favorite videos to make.. appreciate ya stopping by, cheers!
What does this bizarre music community you speak of consist of?
I'm still quite surprised that dennis had a label
Since ghost bath is my favorite DSBM band and i was there in the mentioned concert
If these stories are all true, then can someone explain why Dennis' name is on the begotten discogs page?
There are several artist aliases attributed to me on Discogs that are not me. It seems anyone can add/edit anything they want to the pages.
@geometriclullaby Thanks for the response because I've always been curious about that. Normally I try not to dig too deep about vw artists back stories because I don't want to ruin the mystique, but that ones been bothering me.
@@geometriclullabyWe all know you're begotten, who creates this ARG to promote your music. Same with Ghost bath, where you claimed the band originated from China!
cool marketing scheme!! the music ain’t bad either.
is no one STILL going to mention that one of the album covers is from Jontron's "CLOCKTOWER" video?
You’ve got a bone to pick with everyone who overlooks that
@@BookofCommonTerror yeah, everyone is pretty cringe
I outright do not believe a lot of stories like this, it feels like exceptionally clever marketing. Mars Volta also invented narratives for their albums too.
Always a vibe when Pad drops some new heat
I gotchu dawg
@@PadChenningtonyou’re a real one 🫡
After four long years, an internet music mystery is revived
I did not know that one of the members of ghost bath, a black metal band I really enjoy, ran a label and was involved in this story. Well, the more you know!
right!?
that's because the story is more or less a fabrication
This is weird. I've liked Ghost Bath for years and last month I stumbled across Begotten and other bands on the Geometric Lullaby label on Bandcamp during a Friday and the whole catalog was incredibly affordable so I've been listening to loads of this music for a month or so now never the wiser about the metal band connection or any of this backstory.
yep! it's pretty awesome seeing all the comments of people who had no idea they were connected! it's pretty cool
Sounds like an ARG built for PR. Unlikely these meetings actually happened imo.
Its a brilliant marketing strategy. 😅
I know how this sounds through a TH-cam comment, but I was there that night at the Ghost Bath/Harakiri for the Sky show in Atlanta at Boggs Social that night and even got to hang out with the bands after the show. While I didn’t want to overstay my welcome and spent most of my time with them talking to one of the opening bands (Unreqvited), I don’t recall any conversation like this taking place, at least while I was out there on the patio with Dennis and the guys
You should do a video about Sun Ra 🛸 or Bruse Hacck 🎹 there music was so controversial, weird and disturbing at the same time but very advanced......
#Sunra #BruseHaack #AnalogBrothers
Now I hate Ghost Bath even more. What a giant waste of time.
I'm hoping for Begotten's sake that the cult stuff is all just an elaborate ARG that Begotten is in on. I don't know what we can do if that's not the case.
I didn't know there was a new Begotten drop. What a gift. I can't wait to give it a listen a couple hundred times.
I still have each album from begotten since the moment i watched your first video telling his story and inviting us to hear his music, man, what a ride
Bro, he literally just chops and screws emo songs. I feel like I was sold a bill of goods
I call BS on the help me story and all the other begotten lore. Cool lore tho.
BABY!! WAKE UP!!! PAD IS BACK!!
AND HE BROUGHT MORE STUFF ON BEGOTTEN
TELL EM BRING OUT THE WHOLE BEGOTTEN
'Disturbing'
😂
if you want a tough music mystery, the vocal sample from Static X’s “I’m with Stupid” seems to be completely lost. would love to see it found
The grabbed my shovel bit or the dialogue at the end of the song?
@@whiskeyhound the woman saying “so i grab my shovel…and i beat him in the skull and took him down…and then i grabbed a rope and i hog tied him”
side note- the bit at the end has already been found actually! it’s from a movie called “Sorority Babes in the Slime Bowl-O-Rama”
@@angellane1848Looked up that shovel quote, from the tiny bit of digging I found a post from 2008 saying that the lead singer of Static X said it's from some South Carolina news show, I'll do a bit more digging into it tomorrow, seems like a decent lead since there'd be an interview out with a music magazine or show of the singer saying it if he actually did.
Edit: found a website quoting him talking about it being on the news and happening somewhere in the backwoods of southern california, probably sometime between 1996-1999 based on when the album came out.
I am more and more convinced that this is just Dennis. Not saying it taints my enjoyment for it but lets be real here. His band Ghost Bath pretended to be from China back when it was just a solo project by Dennis - hence all the chinese text with Begotten releases. The black metal connection becomes clearer when keeping in mind that the chinese text for "Forgive and Forget" (that Pad didn't want to post in the last video) is literally a bungled translation of Deads suicide note (singer from Mayhem). This dude runs a label, of course he knows how to properly market stuff. Also the fact that no one seems to acknowledge Begotten when they're "nearby" makes no sense to me
Welcome back Pad, been a while and thank you for this video.
thank you my dude! happy to be back.. missed doing uploads!
This is an AD
I mean, given that Ghost Bath was originally an anonymous Black Metal that claimed to be from China and was just Dennis. I’d imagine this is also just an anonymous project from him as well. Really creative story though and great music to back it, he’s got an extremely creative brain!
ITS BACK!!!!!! OH MY GOD ITS BACK HELL YEAH!
the return of spooky season
@@PadChennington Spooky season means more begotten more but gotten means more amazing music in the world and I'm absolutely stoked about that
The return of the king!
Can’t wait to see what videos you make next, Pad!
More to come! thank you my dude
💀💀💀
This is surprising yet intriguing, thank you for your work!
Glad you enjoy it!
A video on boredoms would be lovely. I know you may have mentioned that in the Hanatarash video years ago but it would certainly be appreciated
A while back I actually started a script for a video on boredoms! ill try and see if I can return to it and what I can cook out of it :)
@@PadChenningtonthanks for the reply Pad, keep up the quality content
@@Juan-wo7zu you got it dude, and thanks so much for stopping by for the new upload.. much appreciated! have a great weekend
Begotten is Dennis.
Holy shit, pad
HOWDY!
@@PadChennington yo!
Pad is back, baby B)
we out here!!
Dennis is back...Sorry I mean Begotten is back :)
RETURN OF THE KING
"Allll the way back in 2017." Feels like 3 weeks ago
b e g o t t e n was my intro to vaporwave basically and theyre one of the greatest musicians ive ever heard. its great to see them back but i really hope theyre ok
Psst your pfp is showing a Buddhist symbol not a swastika, which is at a specific angle
@@piss7610 it’s was like the first result when i searched for “cross over swastika” you really think i was thinking about buddhism. i cant be anti buddhist if i don’t even know anything about it
Pfp is gehy
wonder if/when you'll return to vaporwave
Yoooooo lets gooooo been missing you Big Daddy Paddy
feels great to be back!! thanks for stopping by my dude and for all the support! have a great weekend
I recently listened to life cycle and I will be checking out other releases soon, can't wait to see what's in store for this story, also a lot of respect for you Pad, been rewatching a lot of your vids recently, can't wait for you to drop again my friend, love you bro
thanks so much for the kind words my friend! Yes, its definitely nice uploading again.. been such a busy year and never realized how much I miss friday uploads lol. had a blast making this one, love the begotten series... enjoy the music and have a great weekend!
TL;DW: Dennis IS begotten
Me thinks Dennis is Begotten
Thanks a lot pad! I made an hour iceberg video about vaporwave and mentioned about the Begotten story to the French vaporwave community, thanks to you again I'll make another video about this great mystery of internet music! Thank you for all your work, inspiring for all of us!
Oh wow that sounds awesome!! Feel free to comment the link here ! And thank you for the kind words and for stopping by!
th-cam.com/video/5F4xPDwIPm4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cWLq7bAN0dvOkcPX here is also my video about future funk! ❤
pad, could we collaborate? im trying to make a video on begotten and i need your help cause you know most of it
send me a message on twitter! pad_chennington
@@PadChennington just have
omg i just got the last available copy of the red vinyl
nice!!
I can’t thank you enough for this Pad!!!!! 😳☮️ Oh my gosh I can’t believe it!!!!
I gotchu!! Thanks so much for stopping by and watching . Have a great weekend!
I am intrigued
My opinion:
Not sure if b e g o t t e n 自杀 is serious about Bandcamp cult or if it's the alcohol talking (i.e. he's drunk and has no clue what he's talking about and there is no Bandcamp cult)
I bought the begotten discography like two years ago I think n Bandcamp sends me updates all the time that they posted new music I’m like ??
Hey Pad, you should dig into Boris and make a video on them. They are very fascinating band from Japan, and they've worked with Merzbow many times. I think you'll really enjoy them!
Hey Dude! I really like your videos. Just watched your crydamoure video where you talked about maybe making a Roulé video. I would really love to watch that. So if you still have interest for daft punk then it would be a really nice video you could make! Keep up the good work.
the story is obviously fake but i love this series
the return of the king !
Sounds like Dennis I mean ‘Begotten’ has come up with a creative way to sell records. And that ending with the dead show in Georgia that no-one came to except the character he thoughtfully came up with many years earlier... Very dramatic. People with dark mental illness aren’t going to meet people alone at random locations… And why didn’t he mention if Begotten had an accent, where he was actually from? I’m a filmmaker/ screenwriter and i found it very thoughtful even adding the strange oddities that didn’t make sense like the asian writing that usually didn’t make sense… Either way I’m a super fan of dark fiction. ❤
what's the name of the song playing in the background from about 1:30 to 2:45? it sounds super nice
geometriclullaby.bandcamp.com/track/vision
@@geometriclullaby thank you 🙏
Guess i cant blame them; it's harder than ever to sell even great music these days.
Yeah, let alone this boring bollox. LOL
o boi
Here comes dat begotten
YES!
As of me writing this comment, there are two neon blue vinyl left.
Now there is one. :3
Welcome back Pad, I've missed these!
Thank you dude! Feels great to be back , missed making these as well!
MADMADMAD
Begotten = Pad
Pad = Begotten
I thought this was common knowledge by now.
BEGOTTEN IS BONES!!!! Silicon came out the same year as Bones System preferences check it out!!!!!
Love your videos, you've gotten me into some music I thought I'd never listen too but really enjoy!
Thanks so much! enjoy my dude!
NEW PAD VIDEO YESS
glad to be back!!
For real, your videos always make my day. One of the first ones I watched was the strange & disturbing albums countdown, which introduced me to The Caretaker and EATEOT (now one of my all time favourite pieces of art, it deeply affected the way I view life). Even if the video is about a genre I don't listen to or know well, your love for it makes it a joy to watch. I think many of us feel this way - thank you for all you do!@@PadChennington
Every remix I see is different from what begotten offers...I changed that. I tried to stay as true to the original
th-cam.com/video/UNuXZl3Gi_Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2QREFWJtqsBw5HyO
good to see you back man
feels great to upload a new video!
Goblin Ghouls: I sleep
New Begotten Album: REAL SPOOK
The "disturbing albums" are slowed down XXXtentacion and Post Malone samples😂
I wouldn't really give much credence to anything someone from Ghost Bath says. They pretended to be from China and this story just sounds like some r/nosleep bait. Music's alright though
Okay, the original poems that accompanied the first six albums were sing-songy and a bit amateurish, like they came from a high school literary magazine. Suddenly, the poem that accompanies this release is an intense, death metal-esque lyric about dismembering a woman? I don't buy it.
Lmao yeah, 100% going to believe a bunch of over the top lore about an artist only coming from anecdotes from the dude mostly famous for pretending his band was from China.
Oh shit! Oh damn! Oh, here we go!
we back!
👀
Crazy how this wà sjust suggested in my yt feed and i just discovered the music about a week ago, awesome stuff. Too bad its all impossible to get physical format
As someone who grew up in the Witch House era and took to it hard, chances are Begotten is a fake promotion lore for the project. That was extremely common back in Witch House where artists weren’t commonly known many people had totally whacked out backstories just to keep their project sounding witchy.
Honestly, this could be made up but this is pretty similar to how real life cult members behave. Out of nowhere someone from a long time ago asks to meet up with you, usually they ask you to join the cult. That's the excuse they make to the other members for meeting up with a stranger. Some ask you for help out of nowhere because the person is not connected to the cult at all. The part that makes me doubt it is that he was allowed to meet him alone though.
As someone who lives in Georgia, this is the most Georgia shit to happen. Ofc we would house some cryptic producer.
Help me. Is a TH-camr that makes dark ambient music based in the US. Maybe it's related.
You pronounce the T in skeleton but not in begotten; it's just "begah-en". Why is that? Language is weird.
lol dennis needs to drop the act does he think we are like 12? that said i am surprised by geometric lullaby its a far cry from how bad ghost bath is but it could afford to be consistent
same with begotten's discog lmao
