Like that Sickness presentation in which a guy uses Death Metal growls to perform a song and it ends up being the most boring "metalhead-trying-to-make-noise-harsher-by-incorporating-extreme-metal-elements-into-music" act ever. That being said, WH's Halogen has to be one of the best songs ever, not least because of its incorporation of that eldritch unknown japanese music into layers of it.
Is noise transcendental? For me, noise always felt like a lowering of everything, like trash, waste, filth, formlessness, etc.
yes if you consider transcend meaning to climb across. horizontal not vertical. e.g. transcend a barrier, moral, limit. not a case of a lowering or raising (vertical).
I guess the implicit "climbing" involved with the word and its traditional association of spirituality bring to mind specifically upward movement for me.
