Apologies if there's already a thread of this nature/mods feel free to redirect and delete.
Current UK scene seems to have a lot of great projects but I feel I must be missing out on a few. Obviously I'm leaving aside all classic acts from the 80s/90s etc.
Contemporary artists that immediately spring to mind are: IFOTS, Knifedoutofexistence, Axnaar, Roases, Negative Midas Touch, Menacing 84, SCUM FC, Cremation Lily (older material now I guess), Prussian Walls, Zyklon SS, Mutant Ape, Shift, S.T.A.B. Electronics.
Who else is worth knowing about at the moment? Please feel free to use this as a shameless plug opportunity for your own project.

I believe that only Am Not is currently active in this list. Romance was a really special project and I enjoyed the one time I saw avfn live.
My own tastes veer off in different directions to what this topic is asking for so I've probably got very little to add but would be really keen to hear of any non hnw/industrial/ambient/concrete/collage/drone/PE tinged straight up harsh noise active in the uk right now. No problem with these styles in general but just don't know of any newish, active unadulterated noise going on anymore?
Only thing I can think of to recommend that fits the bill here is Depletion from the north east.

ah yes, I love Am Not! Yeah to clarify, any of the genres covered under the Special Interests banner are welcome in this thread. It'd be good to know who's active when it comes to putting on shows etc
Whereabouts are you based/looking to play or host shows? I'm currently experimenting with potential live setups for one or both of my industrial projects so I would be interested to know where opportunities are likely to be. There's a small but thriving experimental scene up here in Tyneside but I'm out of the loop further afield.
Related to Mutant Ape for many projects (and to Skullflower) and still active I think: Culver
Content Nullity (still active?)
and the absolut master of Uk noise in my heart: Filthy Turd - is he still active?
Content Nullity morphed into Mollusk King. Released a split tape with Mold Crevice in 2015 but not heard anything since.

Filthy Turd has been active recently as Dai Coelacanth and as the main (I think...) instigator of Vile Plumage & The Burselm Community Radio Players.
Not sure about physical release stuff though...

Darren/Filthy Turd was trying erase everything about the project and his implication into it because he was suspended at his job. They investigate about him and his activity and he had a lot of problems.

I think they'd have a hard job connecting him legally since he operates under so many aliases, Darren also being one. I can't recall him having done anything that would warrant dismissal but I don't know where he works - Filthy Turd was always great smutty fun!
Yes, Filthy Turd has been involved in what feels like countless projects that keep coming over recent years. Whether or not it's one or two things that keep mutating and changing names or brand new stuff each time is hard to tell and kind of irrelevant. Suffice to say, all worth a listen. FT has certainly evolved past those amazing harsh walls into a way more bizarre and lofi kind of sound collaging which is excellent. Still nothing beats peak, harsh Filthy Turd when you're in that mood.
I guess it's worth mentioning Paul Watson/BBBlood who still produces excellent work. Again, moved away from pure harsh blasting but still knows when and how to whip it out.
KEVLAR
Sorry to hear about Filthy Turd's problems. Great, fun live act, genuinely (literally) filthy. His recorded material is also great.
And yes, BBBlood and Cementimental are absolutely underrated and worth a mention. Lovely people and technically excellent noise. Tim's harsh noise live act is incredible.
Apologies for stirring the shit, but Wyngarde's issues re: work are news to me, and a little perplexing at that. No real clue why one would need to be "punished" in their professional life for a simple (if weird or "disturbing") musical project. The content seems tame compared to the deliberate provocateurs (you know who I mean), so this seems not only unfair but nonsensical to me. Why is he being picked on?

Don't know the details but, of course, it depends entirely on what his job is/was. I shouldn't imagine anyone at the job would be thinking 'well, it's not as bad as deathkey, we'll give him a break.' Maybe all it takes for some employers is to find out you've got a record called 'schoolgirls in chains' to be worried about you. Pathetic and wrong but sadly understandable when viewed from the profit/loss perspective of industry.
Recently caught the broadcast of this...

"Dai Coelacanth can't keep his trap shut. It brings him grief. He runs away. His little legs carry him to the Island. It's hot. Boiling. Spys are everywhere. Spells are cast. Insects rub their mandibles. The sea is calm. Hear life as it was. One million years ago."

Is it?
I know of Filthy Turd only peripherally, I'll have to delve deeper even if it's now posthumous!
good to hear about smaller scenes that are active even if they're cut off from the wider network. I actually made a group on facebook for UK PE/NOISE/INDUSTRIAL of all kinds for performers/promoters/consumers in the hopes of finding more active people to put on shows etc. Feel free to join:

Thanks people for the kind words about Cementimental :) still going strong tho i have been playing only rarely for the last year or two after years of ridiculously too often :D
Still always working on new gear and recordings (a 'real' release would be welcome after all these DIY ones if anyone's interested) but at the moment concentrating on my other project Isn'tses, which is not pure noise but also incorporates elements of music/PE/vocals and beats as well as audiovisual/performance. not for the 'costume-noise'-phobic sorry. http://isntses.co.uk
Lots of Isn'tses live stuff coming up, next known Cementimental show is at the Destroy all Artifacts Alladayer on the 12th Nov https://www.facebook.com/events/1847219582194378/ (https://www.facebook.com/events/1847219582194378/)

Hmmm well this post might not help don't you think? :-S
FT is the absolute greatest
It seems to me like the Uk Harsh Noise scene has kind of gone a bit quiet, but then again here in London at least there's often several events a week which contain at least a bit of it, and it's still possible to e.g. go, on a sunday night, to a full-on scrap metal smashing, PA-clipping noise squatparty in a Stalker-worthy ruined complex of car garages :D
Might list some current recommendations soon but maybe few are pure noise/PE enough for you guys (drone and HNW stuff seems more common right now) plus i don't want to forget anyone and i need to do stuff now

US not UK. But labelmates Seige Electronics are.
That's a relief cos it sounds shite.
Augure Concret
Filthy said he worked as a janitor in an all-girl's school, back in the troniks board days. I don't know how creative he was being with some of his writing on there though.
I loved the Burselm Crypt stuff, although there doesn't seem to be much trace of that for a year or so either.
Kylie Minoise
Does anyone know what's up with IFOTS lately? Could do with some new material as far as I'm concerned...
I see guy of the project has posted in this topic too, but not mentioned his own works:
Natural Orthodoxy "Legacies of Rust" tape is one of the very best "where did this came from" -type of tapes I have listened lately. As many things happen in such a fast pace, it is possibly I have seen or heard it before, but also possibly this was first exposure. Just can't remember.
Got bunch of tapes from New Forces, and when pushed play of "Legacies of Rust", in first few minutes of thought - ah ok, contemporary power electronics. Semi melodic backing tones, scream as loud as possible, some racket on top. But not so fast conclusions! 8 track long tape stands out as proper album. There is more to it than one can judge by first couple of minutes. Some variation in vocal performance. Not one effect, and totally uniform style. Songs themselves has diversity. From short pieces of noisy and ripping stuff to deep heavy electronic pulsations. Needless to say, tape version sounds way better. While bandcamp version feels like "unmastered", tape feels like it's now sounding as it should. Saturated, punching sound, where some peaks are evened a bit and digital feel is less dominant. I'd recommend tape - and I'd also urge to hurry. It's ltd 75 only! In Europe, at least Freak Animal carries some at the moment, in USA of course label directly is way to go.

I may do a self-release CD reissue of this once it seems to be sold out from Phage and distros (Nil By Mouth also has a couple), and include some extra tracks, possibly live recordings from my shows with Svartvit or Pharmakon.
Those interested in new projects of this kind may wish to investigate the inaugural release from Active Denial.

This is a quality UK pe release that deserves recognition.
Broader reissue deserved
Natural Orthodoxy - Legacies of Rust is really good and for sure deserves recognition and a broader reissue. I got my tape from NBM this week, maybe there's still one left. Edition of only 75 is surely not enough for quality like this.
I really like the already mentioned 'variation in vocal performance'.
Cheers for the kind words everyone!
There will be a new Natural Orthodoxy tape on Phage Tapes later this year. Currently just waiting for the final masters and Sam Phage is doing the artwork.
You can hear one track here: https://soundcloud.com/naturalorthodoxy/new-british-empires-from-industrial-action/s-OOAK8
I've leaned into some older industrial influences on this release, which will be apparent when the full thing is released. Unlike Legacies, this one was recorded at home but I'm very pleased with the outcome. Lyrical themes are similar- postwar Britain up to the modern day, in all its cannibalistic, self destructive glory.
New album streaming here https://naturalorthodoxy.bandcamp.com/album/industrial-action
To purchase the tape (UK/EU) email hatecof@gmail.com
US folks buy directly from Phage Tapes.
Knifedoutofexistence played here in Notts UK very recently and were great, they played with Nacht und Nebel and I felt the project had matured loads since they last played with Cremation Lily, bought some bits and reviewed them. 2nd time I had seen them here.

Got that record and a few tapes from KOOE, great stuff. I do (occasionally) find the vocals a little cringy though.
Aside from Iron Fist of the Sun< Cremation Lily, Nacht un Nebel, Knifed Out of Existence, ACL and Shift, any good current or old projects to recommend?
Natural orthodoxy is definitely one to listen to. And ZSS as well are superb.

I am currently playing the Active Denial tape a lot. I received it today and reviewed it on my blog. http://researchlaboratories.tumblr.com/post/173742084208/active-denial-active-denial
Through Facebook I discovered S..T.A.B. Electronics and Bought Day of the Male and Born For Righteous Abuse... off Unrest and really love the Day of the Male cd, not played the other one yet as I can't get past Day as it's fucking intense.

This is awesome, and is made better by the fact it appears to be filmed in their place of work after-hours
If you look around, there's a vid of him in Scotland, speeding, after drinking giving a live noise concert too.
From the website: https://antisocialkulturengland.net/
Video of an intimate Scum F.C. show in a car. This was filmed in Scotland where the drinking and driving laws are absurd so the throttle wasn't getting hammered as much as desired as some tipples had been enjoyed before hand. However this is just a first in a series of videos being made so consider it just a sniff of much more engine noise mischief to come.

Knifedoutofexistence's label Outsider Art https://outsiderart.bigcartel.com/category/cassettes has some exciting UK stuff coming out. The reason I mention it is the new Active Denial tape is on there, I got my pants in a twist over the debut on my blog and am excited to hear this. They are playing with S.T.A.B. too in March. Kuebiko's debut is in there too, obscure project, one guy, done a few shows, I saw him open a three artist show, go mental and destroy his shit - it was the highlight of the night.
I still haven't got over the Natural Orthodoxy tape either, that's glued on the playlist.

Only a couple of youtube videos. 'Chav culture' seems severely under explored in PE though- next Natural Orthodoxy full length for Total Black will concentrate on this though, particularly the 2011 riots being turned from protest into opportunism by neds wanting to loot JD Sports

Looking forward to it, any release date, loved the last one?
Those riots were seen as the death of BlackBerry phones in the UK, it seemed all the communicating for those riots was done on BBM, so sadly it's all touch screens and no keypads to type on phone wisein the UK. On the otherhand who can compete with IPhones or Samsaung. So as a Blackberry lover, the legacy of those riots stings me.
I belive SCUM FC kinda takes over from Chav Stabber in terms of its perspective. I get that impression from the tapes I bought off him.

I have never heard of this project before, thanks for sharing. I think that the material on bandcamp presented a wide range of tones and atmospheres, which is really cool. I thought that "Empty Chair//Death'sWhite Face" was especially excellent, and reminiscent of Ramleh.

^^^^ really wanted to like these guys more than I did when I saw them in Brighton. I liked the crude, upfront sound of some of their recordings and it was disappointing that live it felt like a dynamic free, washed out mess with badly mixed levels. Will definitely give them another shot sometime if the opportunity arises though.

That's a pity. I really like the album on Opal Tapes, its an intense trip. I would try and see them live given the opportunity.

^^^^ really wanted to like these guys more than I did when I saw them in Brighton. I liked the crude, upfront sound of some of their recordings and it was disappointing that live it felt like a dynamic free, washed out mess with badly mixed levels. Will definitely give them another shot sometime if the opportunity arises though.

Saw them live with Cremation Lily before ever hearing recorded stuff, it was really really good. Possibly a crap sound system or an off night when you saw them? I think there can be a really thin line between PE sounding raw and aggressive live and just sounding messy.
Am Not posted a couple live videos on his youtube channel.

Just listened to new album by æþel electronics. They have LP version out on Hospital now. It's a very interesting album, love the medieval themes to it.

This is the Cremation Lily guy I believe. Will Black Psychosis have copies of this in by any chance?
Ah ok thanks, couldn't find any information about it.
No sorry, not planning on stocking Hospital releases. If it's Cremation Lily guy he might have some at Strange Rules in the near future.

I saw something floating around FB that said so, may have been Zen himself.
It's Natural Assembly + Cremation Lily, I'm sure plenty of copies will be in the UK quite soon.

There's a decent thread on him here. You'll find it easily if you have a search.
Highly recommend earlier stuff. Picked up 'The Difficulty In Crossing A Field' direct from Al recently and it's a great album.
Caught him live years ago and don't remember much besides him making satisfied faces every time a horrible noise from a dodgy lead out of his laptop would totally fuck the sound of his otherwise quite monotonous, dirgey set. Doubt any of that was intentional but it was a great bit of submission/indifference to some genuine 'noise'
all this talk of live shows in making me itchy. Who's organising gigs in London these days? (Paul Sate dead and Gaia inactive?)
Have been talking tentatively about Mlehst shows in USA next year.........
lots happening albeit in little stylistic shards in London. Drop me an email/private message if you want to talk and we can see what's what.
Thanks Duncan, I got 3 releases recently to review on blog and I liked them a lot.
Any Territorial Gobbing fans here? I guess it's not quite PE or HN, but it blends a lot of daft sounds, junk noise, tape abuse etc and might appeal to some:
https://territorialgobbing.bandcamp.com/
Also; this album by Chlorine has some pretty nice moments of harsh noise:
https://invisiblecityrecords.bandcamp.com/album/blume
Also also my most recent 'album' of AM radio sounds whilst driving around in my car might appeal to some as well. Mostly smeared voices, static and fuzz, some spoken word and incidental sounds too:
https://danieljgregory.bandcamp.com/album/troubling-existences
Also also also, might be worth mention yol here too. Imagine PE style vocals over field recordings, metal object sounds and other similar things:

Intersting, I have the "Gallooner" album by Chlorine and I rather enjoyed it, will check out Blume.
