If you haven't heard of Destroy All Monsters, then that may be a band to check out. They're a noise/punk band with some heavy metal influences. They're also a bit arty, too (which is a bonus). I suppose Silver Wedding Anniversary (1996) would be a good album to start out with.

Sorry that I can't add a Youtube video - there aren't really any good ones on D.A.M.

I don't like embedded videos anyway. I can search Youtube myself if need be.

Anaal Nathrakh were the first band I thought of when I saw the title of the thread. They pretty much sum up the 'wall of sound' type style, that has somewhat decent production anyway. If you venture into Black Metal there are some bands that would also have the wall of sound, Anaal Nathrakh may have even been mentioned as Black Metal before...

Anyway, here you go.

Yeah, I was gonna mention DEP but figured it might be a bit too obvious. They shred regardless, one of my all-time favorite bands.

I guess Sleepytime Gorilla Museum would be a good suggestion, but I'm sure most (if not all) of you have heard of them. They're pretty famous on this site after all.

Holy Molar, Antioch Arrow, Swing Kids, Heroin, Murder of Rosa Luxemburg, Arab on Radar, XBXRX, The Crimson Curse...

Fuck it, just check out the THREE ONE G label.

SGM I wouldn't consider noisy nor spastic. I think they're quite mellow in their composition style.

Ruins has their spastic moments



and Koenji is pretty freaking nuts during their second album phase:

Yea, I saw you mention Koenji in the Prog album club. I guess you're right about SGM not being very "noisy or spastic" but I see them transition from mellow to loud frequently. 1/3 of the requirements... Eh, they may have some spastic or noisy elements (I haven't listened to their complete discography so I can't really say anything quite yet).

Growing impatient for the next installment from Pig Destoyer, I decided to to see what Scott Hull has been up to with Agoraphobic Noisebleed. In the past, I've veered away from ANb because of the inhumane, overly spastic cyber-grind drum machine patterns which were way too over the top for me. But the their last album, "Agorapocalypse" has more organic sounding samples and programming, which I found slightly easier to get into.

That's a terrific album! Katherine Katz's vocals on it are so amazing that it lead me to check out her band Salome who are also pretty good, though in a slower, sludgier way.
