MAJOR CUNT

So, it's been a little slow here lately. With that in mind I picked something awesome to post for my return. MAJOR CUNT are an awesome noisecore band hailing from Scotland. One of the members runs VILENOISE RECORDINGS, a lot of great noise coming out there these days, go check it out if you haven't already. Scotland seems to be the UK center for noise at the moment, with great acts like DEATHWANK, ANAL A GO GO GEDDON, and ASAHARA making the rounds up there. Maybe I should move there! Haha. MAJOR CUNT play a kind of raw grind/noise that isn't the harshest or most extreme noise going, but it's got it's own interesting style. Rarely for a noisecore band, you can usually make out the riffs being played quite well, which helps to define the unique sound that these guys are producing. It's kind of hard to describe, really. It's almost melodic, ALMOST. As melodic as noise can get anyway. Some riffs are even quite catchy. For these reasons some tracks don't sound as harsh as you might like, but some tracks are definitely harsher than a lot of noisecore coming out now, and taking most of the releases as a whole, they almost always flow from harsh noisy savage stuff to slightly less harsh, maybe-a-little melodic but still noisy stuff well. It never sounds out of place, and definitely makes for interesting listening. They don't usually play extremely fast, which is a shame, but definitely enough fast bits and each release is pretty powerful. Their sound doesn't change too much from release to release, which is great. Sometimes they put out live/rehearsal recordings, sometimes it sounds like a studio live recording. Almost always distorted, noisy, sometimes they even break out some solos hahaha. Definitely an interesting band, and one of my favourites from the UK at the moment for sure. Get their 100CANDAN release here, for the rest, get your ass over to Vilenoise!

DECHE-CHARGE

So, the legendary DECHE-CHARGE. What can I really say about these guys, that hasn't already been said? and probably better than I can? Well I can tell you that they have released a LOT of material! A lot of it is great, some of it is not so great, but it's all noisy as hell and quite varied. They have a huge collection of almost all their recordings on their blogspot site (some of it is missing however). A lot of it is pretty badly tagged too. I'm not going to bother reviewing their stuff here, it's all been done before many times over, and if you're into noise then you probably know all about these guys anyway. What I will do though is provide you fine people with their first ever demo, "Metal Deche Cores", the "Tremblement De Noise" demo, and their 1024 song EP from 1995.

ONANY BOYS

This is another band that nobody really seems to know anything about. What I do know is that ONANY BOYS were from the Czech Republic, they played pretty straightforward noisecore, and they only had two releases; a demo cassette, released in 1992, called "Grindy Noisecore" and a split 7" from 1996 with GROSSMEMBER (In 2002 these releases were compiled on the CD "Re-Animation of Tittilating Booby Hullaballoo).

The title of the demo sums up ONANY BOYS' sound quite well - straight forward no-shit grindy noisecore. They may not have the most brutal sound, or even be as lo-fi as you might hope, but this is definitely essential early 90's noisecore. Anyone with more info on this band contact us!

ANAL FIST

In 1989 this two man noise-freak madness put out a E.P. that was total musical destruction. Little did they know at the time over 20 years later that silly little 7" would be selling for so much money. I doubt they expected to even get rid of all 250 copies let alone watch it become a staple in any true noisecore maniacs collection. I found out about these dudes from the original noisecore site years and years ago. Luckily I found a copy of this online pretty cheap. It was in great shape too! Instead of a side A and B they did a side ANAL and side ORAL.

Unfortunately Anal Fist used a drum machine. Yeah I know one of the few bands I listen to that uses one. I would have love to hear how insane this band could have gotten with "real" drums, even with a makeshift set. Usually this machine gun drum loop pisses me off and I'll never listen to them again. For some reason this worked in ANAL FIST's favor. They didn't release anything after this and faded into obscurity. I swear some day I'll have a band up here that isn't so obscure and I actually have more information on.

This is everything you'd want in a noisecore band. Hundreds of tracks packed into one 7", lo-fi, raw, intense, distorted, growling/screaming vocals. It's almost indecipherable at certain parts that instruments are really playing with how powerful the vocals are.They claimed to be the fastest band of all the world on the cover. Even in 1989 I don't think they were the fastest, possibly the most ferocious at the time.

I have never seen anyone discuss the subject matter of their tracks. The Anal side has English & German song titles. That range from "Suck My Dick" to "shut up" and various other German phrases that I don't understand. The Oral side interested me the most(that's what she said, hahaha), it seems like most of this side has Russian song titles, and 604-607 are what looks like Arabic or some other middle eastern language. Very strange I know. All that is left to say really is in ANAL FIST's own words..."PLAY IT VERY LOUD!"

ANEMIC NOISE HORROR

Most of you probably know this 2 member band as just A.N.H. a swedish noisecore band. This was kind of short lived I suppose. If you have the demo or split with grunt contact us! There are people that probably have more info than I do. That's all I have. There's a little bit more information on them online at total noisecore.

I hate drum machine noisecore/grind with a passion. Yeah I'm aiming that shit at you Agoraphobic Nosebleed! I can't believe I actually typed that shitty bands names. If you like them too bad, you can fuck off with your trendy/overly produced grindcore bullshit. With that being said there are very few bands I actually like that use one, A.N.H. is one of them.Well based off the one rehearsal I have listened to. Like I said there wasn't much of an output by this band.

A.N.H. kept it pretty lo-fi on the rehearsal. It kind of reminds me of really shitty acoustic black metal at certain parts, although very few. The guitar is kinda bassy sounding, no real feedback and minimal distortion. I'm sure the demo and split with grunt are way better than this. This wasn't the most chaotic rehearsal to come out of Finland but it kept the noisecore attitude. It remained lo-fi, raw, gritty, and anti-music.

I downloaded this off a 4shared a while ago, and listen to it periodically. There's no information of there being a released rehearsal online. So if this really is, it was probably just recorded to tape and passed about amongst friends or something like that. That's just speculation though. I doubt it is the demo, being that this is only 3:28. If you know more please comment or e-mail us! Otherwise you can enjoy this beast here.

COCKEYED

I think there's an ongoing theme here with obscure noisecore and this blog. COCKEYED is a Canadian, self proclaimed ultra violent noisecore. I guess that's a fairly accurate description. Pierre-Marc Tremblay the mastermind behind COCKEYED has a couple of other projects. None of them interest me as much as this. I tried to e-mail him in an attempt to gain more information about the project. But the e-mail daemon returned it saying the e-mail wasn't valid anymore. SO I'm guessing this is pretty obscure and rare. The website is unfinished and is crappier than The music isn't that insane for a noisecore band. I think it's really the drums that throw me off. The vocals are blood curdling screams, not the typical grunt or growl. The guitar is a wall of buzzing. It almost sounds like a giant fart. Listening to this makes me really peaceful for some reason. There are some musical elements but not much. In case you're one of these tl;dr people just download the demo.
