Inseminoid - Old Blue Lass cdr

Disappointingly sexist cover, but no-nonsense harsh noise wall. The second track at least is live, ending with "Some Kind of Miracle" by girl group Girls Aloud and members of the audience going crazy. 2011 cdr on Finite Change (no, not the awesome Infinite Exchange label).

Inseminoid ‎– Northern Foot Fetish cdr

Not too fond of the cover here, as it's kinda too pornographic. Another slab of relentless epic drone/harsh noise wall combination running for 55 minutes, followed by mystical acoustic guitars and subterranean ritual drone. 2014 cdr on Turgid Animal.

Inseminoid ‎– Beauties Of Beltane CDR

Harsh noise wall it is, but near the end there's this vague, fleeting mournful melody that gives it a strange sense of beauty. 2009 cdr on Small Doses.

Inseminoid - A Mask For Jennifer cdr

Inseminoid is yet another project of Lee Stokoe of Culver, Witchblood, and Matching Head tapes, and yet another collaboration with George Proctor of Turgid Animal & Legion Blotan Records and Mutant Ape, with a more pronounced affinity from exploitation and porn that in their "daily" projects (which ain't a good thing imo). The sound is very close both to Culver and George Proctor's Karst, albeit somewhat more abstract, and a little bit closer to harsh noise and HNW. Here we get a very lo-fi wallish drone that qualifies very gloomy rainy days after a night of 3 hours of sleep. 2008 cdr on At War With False Noise.

Andreas Brandal & Flesh Coffin

Andreas Brandal is a Norwegian noise and experimental music artist, who plays both by his own name and under the moniker Flesh Coffin. The With Friends Like These cd compilation by Gold Soundz label I have posted here features some tracks of both of his acts. In the cdr Send In The Vultures he presents caustic and varied noise with dynamics and reminiscent of a swarm of insects coming to devour a whole town. 2009 cdr on Scrape Tapes.

It is worth mentioning that on his own Bandcamp he offers a number of his releases for free download. A lot of that stuff there is of top quality and not limited to harsh noise, as he also experiments with tonal ambient/drone, live improvisational music. I especially recommend Locks And Caves, Breaking A Mirror, Collected and Disturbance.




Under the Flesh Coffin name he it plays rougher. While containing the experimental mood, with instances of improvisation and field recordings, this is closer to harsh noise with a much darker tone, and in the case of the Respiratory Failure cdr he is doing two tracks of top-notch harsh noise wall. 2009 cdr on Kwark Records.

Now he also runs a Flesh Coffin bandcamp site in which he once again offers stuff for free, and I would particularly suggest listening to Crawling In Chaos.

Since he has uploaded so much stuff for free, I think that he deserves some support for doing such a good noise job.

Werewolf Jerusalem/Robert Ridley-Shackleton/She Walks Crooked - April Fools 3-way split CD-R (2014, Hissing Frames)

Werewolf Jerusalem's track is an exercise in HNW restraint and control, if there can be such a thing, whereas Robert Ridley-Shackleton is more untamed and bassy. As for She Walks Crooked's track it's a dense and grey slab of monotonous industrial noise. 2014 cdr on Hissing Frames.

Dead Body Collection & J.Adolphe ‎– Deep Into The Halls tape

Amazing droning/ambient harsh noise wall with textures, shifts, vocals and the unnerving voices of crows in the beginning by J. Adolphe (boss of Geräuschmanufaktur) and Dr. Alex, HNW master. Definitely one of the richest HNW releases of all time. 2014 tape on the top-notch Geräuschmanufaktur tape label.

Regler ‎– Regel #4 (HNW) cd

Regler is the project of Anders Bryngelsson of Brainbombs and Mattin. The idea of Regler is to play a variety of music genres just with rock instruments, particularly guitar and drums, and to deconstruct them at their basic core. Notable experiments include their amazing drone piece, a recent blues album, dbeat hardcore punk, and an outrageous take on classical music. The album here is a dissection of Harsh Noise Wall, without any walls of electronic distortion, but just with a truly punk-spirited savage noisecore annihilation of drums and guitar, albeit never going into grindcore mode. Arguably this is much more compulsive, unpleasant and unlistenable than almost all HNW works. As Vomir says in his liner notes this is Hardcore Wall. 2015 cd co-released by Pilgrim Talk, Decimation Sociale, Rapid Moment, and At War With False Noise.
