I love old school rock/metal/punk with a chaotic sound. Raven is one of my fav examples:

I think Adultary, and some of Polkadot Cadaver(which is basically the exact same band) is pretty spastic.

I found Polkadot Cadaver a watered down version of Dog Fashion Disco myself which is not surprising since a couple of ex members make up the band.

For some odd reason, the majority of bands that fall in this category in my collection come from Japan.
Boredoms is great if you're into their brand of ruckus. (WARNING: Bizarre vocals ahead)

For anybody who hasn't heard the essential and infamous Melt-Banana:

The stuff of the album Charlie is even more erratic.

If you like jazz and/or grindcore influences then you have to check out John Zorn's work, especially Naked City.

Name are a pretty crazy, noisy, mathcore band. They sometimes break into the chug-chug-bree-bree territory, but I find that they keep it short and to the point when they do... they focus more on chaos and technicality than getting scene kids to mosh.

Genghis Tron





Board Up the House is such an awesome album, it's all I've been listening too basically for this whole month. The heavy parts in the songs are absolutely fantastic. The riffs just SHRED. But the parts that I really love are the synthy poppy parts like in Endless Teeth. The juxtaposition of that and the really heavy math-core parts are really interesting and in my opinion make the songs stand out a lot more. The vocals are really great, this guy is an awesome screamer. I really like the low in the mix clean vocals, they're really great too. Just an awesome band overall. It kind of sucks though, I read on Wikipedia that they're taking a break from the band, but when they will get together again and write songs in the not-to-distant future.

Well, the two members that made the band essentially where the only songwriters/consistent members. Really, it's the same band, just I think really cynical. As for being watered down, I quite like "Purgatory Dance Party" but unlike DFD, any videos I've seen of it live have been exceptionally weak.

I used to be really into DFD, but don't care for them much anymore. They're way too straight forward in comparison to bands like Estradasphere, Stolen Babies, and Unexpect. I like their morbid sense of humor, but they skate off of it well too much.

On that note, some of Unexpect is pretty psychotic at times:

Yes. Genghis Tron have found the perfect balance between metal and electronic. Board Up The House is one of the few albums that I consider perfect... I can't praise that album enough. Dead Mountain Mouth is spectacular too.

And yes, I want a new album from them more than any other band at the moment.

Yes they are pretty amazing. Definately my favourite "heavy" band at the moment.

This is my new favorite thread. I also recently discovered Deathspell Omega here on MB (Raust I think?) and love it. Here's one I already posted on the DEP thread but I think this kicks harder and more spastic than most music I've heard from today..

The Mullet Burden by Dillinger Escape Plan


I need to find some of the best early drowningman because they have a special noisy, spastic place in my heart as well.
