NEWS:

may 2009

-Finally some news! Database updates have been finally processed. Sorry for those who waited probably 6+ months for their contributions to be uploaded. I may have to re-arrange the site for easier structure for updates.

-Lolita Slavinder Records released two noisecore releases

most abusive experience to hear. Hundreds of tracks of blasting noisecore explosions. Including demo 2002, demo 2005, demo 2006, compilation tracks (with unreleased recordings) and live 2008. Sore Throat, AC, 7MON, etc taken into new levels of 2000īs cold cynicism. Lolita Slavinder Records

*YESMEANSYES / SEVEN MINUTES OF NAUSEA "split" cd
filthy blow of the 90īs noisecore chaos, bringing the traditional blasting hell (Sore Throat, AC, Tumor, Arse,..) with professional studio sound, together into disc with the latest noise turd of legendary 7MON. Lolita Slavinder Records

-There is being received once in a while e-mails from people, who want to be included in the list of bands or they know some project what should be included. However, there is no point sending me e-mail saying "I play in project called Sodomized Lassie Anal, can you include me??". Simply, look at the "how to contribute" section few lines down. What is needed is: name, country, description/bio, discography (+contact if possible). There is no point listing only names (those mere names who are listed currenltly on site, are under work). Also, if you do not have official releases = band doesn't exists. As simple as that. No point listing to-be-forgotten jokes who managed to upload few mp3's online once in their "career". Anyone who can contribute database info, reviews, information, even interviews, feel free to get in touch. But don't waste time on bullshit. Messages will be simply deleted.

-Noisecore internet forums... Where?  For example here: http://swampfootuk.proboards62.com/index.cgi?board=noise
Those who are looking for old noisecore online, can find topics of people uploading files to be listened, which is option you can't find on this site.

Noisecore & Rough Grindcore Website

This is still just rough version of site. So much to update and write. Expect updates sooner or later. Now there is some images included, but there is tons of covers to scan. Review section has been included for deeper review of specific records and there is opened interview section too!
It was decided that who will be included goes through more strict selection than before. Projects who did only one tape or seem not to be much involved with the scene, but being merely short humor project of some musicians, those will be either ignored or listed on bottom page of each country. Same place is for bands which I don't have information of, or have not heard yet.

Internet is full of information of any music style. But if you look information of noisecore and dirty old school grind, there is not too much. This scene is small, noncommercial, unwanted, often underestimated and disrespected, and hidden deep into underground. It's worshipped by handful of fanatical listeners. And so be it ! This site is for noisecore maniacs. There has been included selection of raw sounding or otherwise special grindcore classics as well. If you look for something else, hit back button.

This is noisecore site, not joke site, so those bands who perform nothing but for sake of joke, can be ignored. Naturally several bands were and are humorous, yet in case of creating something good, it's reason to include them.

NOTE: There is no politics included in this site. It is not concern whatever band represents in their noise. None of the bands are boycotted due "dubious" content like some would like it to happen. This site is historical restoration of facts, not about cleaning the ugly stuff away.

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE:

This site does not offer complete discography of noisecore. It would be impossible to make.
BUT, If you have additions of bands, or records, feel free to contribute info/review: fanimal@cfprod.com
Just send it same way as it is listed on site:

-BAND NAME
-short description
-discography
-contact info if band is active

Making this site is side thing. Made when/if have free time and energy, so don't expect frequent updates! Design and navigation has been intended to keep very simple. Black/white design and no animations or other unnecessary things is to celebrate good old underground 'zine feeling.

NOTE!!!! Do not send all these "I have mp3 uploaded on myspace.com" type of things. RELEASE is a concrete tape/cd/vinyl/etc, available from band or label with intent to be spread around. I'm not interested in inside jokes of internet chatroom scenes, ok?

At the moment there is more of just discographies and band names presented.  There will be later bigger review section with reviews!

What is noisecore / grind-noise ?

Definations vary, depending from who you ask. Noisecore for me, and most of people I know, is the style created with blast beat or chaotic drums, chaotic guitar/bass noise and vocals. Often hardly at all riffs and length of tracks remains in couple of seconds explosions where maximum amount of energy is included in minimum amount of time. Tracks can go to even couple dozen of seconds, but hardly ever reaches length of 1 minute or so. Before this also very noisy Hardcore/punk bands such as Disorder, Kuolema and others used "noise not music"slogans, but still remaing more hardcore than noise.
But noisecore as explained before has been use as a term since mid/late 80's and stabilized itself as a own genre. After that noisecore term has been during the years adopted by different people to describe also other forms of music. Some consider dull grunge with feedback to be "noisecore". Maybe as answer to "noiserock". More recently some semi-mainstream music what is actually technical metallic hardcore, has get stamp of "noisecore" from mainstream metal magazines like Terrorizer. But simply, if it's music, it's not noisecore! Those people probably never heard of noisecore. Journalists and fans who claim Isis, Burnt by the Sun and the Luddite Clone etc to be noisecore can just fuck off and find term for the music what doesn't exists yet. I have been told bands themselves have not used this to describe themselves.
Very often noisecore includes some musical elements, but they serve as mere "intro"before actual blasting insanity. Some of the bands play noisecore because of lack of skill, but it is important to notice that the genre is not only a joke or field for "untalented", but also serious form of.... "music"?

Grind-noise is pretty much the same thing, but goes closer to grindcore, including some grinding riffs, sometimes song structures, but still closer to noisecore than "musical" grind.

These days grindcore is not what it used to be. Before grindcore term was know, there was fast hardcore and metal bands doing recordings and they were dirty and rough. When term grindcore was better known, bands like Repulsion, Napalm Death, Blood, Unseen Terror, Agathocles and countless others played music what remained harsh, noisy and brutal. Mince riffs, blasting drums, brutal vocals and usually short and to-the-point tracks.
These days many of the grind bands are over-produced and technical. Some, including the music press, seems to accept music as "grindcore" if there is fast blasting drums. Fast drums alone doesn't make music grind! Sometimes you get talented guitar leads, amazingly fast blast beats, technical riffing and melodies and surely it is good for those who just switched from Slipknot to the semi-underground. But for those who desperately crave for good old grind atmosphere, many of todays offerings remain disappointment - if not even disgrace to the term grindcore! This site is not interested to involve in such type of "grind".

Noisecore / grindcore doesn't have standard imagery, ideology or lyrical content. Underground attitude and noncommercial way might be one of the very few standards of the genre. In ideology or expression, each form of life and death is represented. Some for bigger, some for smaller extent. Noisecore and grind is melting pot of people from metal, punk, industrial, experimental, (etc) scenes. This lack of universal image can be seen as a good thing. Within most music styles, there is stereotype way of life or thinking and therefore, to be "accepted", people make articifial images what fits in it. With noisecore/grind there is no need for that, and this makes bands more honest. You see easier who is politically motivated to certain direction, who is peace lover, who praises war and violence, who celebrates the gory orgies in excrement and who is there just for fun. Just pick the directions you enjoy and leave the rest.

It is slap in the face of people like those. Very good article in deed mr. Panteradude. But maybe you should tell people it's not written by you, but taken from  website: www.cfprod.com/noisecore/
