a total surpriser is schlager singer ville leinonen and his non-music album "camp crystal lake"

https://www.discogs.com/Ville-Leinonen-Camp-Crystal-Lake/master/503205

dude makes mega slimy and annoying finnish soap pop but this album is totally different since it has mostly creepy field / stalker recordings and lofi hums and crackles of emptiness, really hard to find anything wrong with this, even in the light of his other stuff 

gotta add: has some stelzer / pbk flavors of contemplative recording/manipulization

I really can't stand most music by the band Ween (aside from some older and more experimental material) but this track right here is too good. It's full of feedback and tape distortion, heavily effected and angry ranting vocals. Almost sounds like an indie bands playful attempt at making power electronics (there's even jokes about this in the comments)

There's also a great lo-fi pop / art rock group named Cindy Lee who have some songs that are just all out noise tantrums. Here's one of my favorite tracks by them.

GISM's incorporation of noise on M.A.N. is something that always stuck out when I was younger. Great album and the noise elements are utilized in a way that adds substance to the inhuman character of the music rather than just used for filler.

In genuflection to my younger self, I just got hold of the recently released double vinyl re-issue of Hilt / The Flu, Patsy: A Collection Of Absolute Insanity, early cEvin Key / Alan Nelson project. Hilt at their most experimental were capable of just about anything, some of it quite noisy, but good part of the more widely available material is very radio friendly, even danceable. So I'd still call them, at heart, non-noise artists with a fan-base more inclined toward industrial disco. Still I was surprised at just how noisy the above collection of insanity gets. Call it over-the-top shambolic layered garage rock with heaps of hefty distortion and random weirdness, straight up rocking tracks quickly devolving into phone-sex digression.

There are no samples online, yet, but here's an early example of Hilt / The Flu. Starts off almost garage rock-y, then is blasted through with layers of harsh distortion. I like that it gets noisier as the track progresses. I'd read once that the recording itself dates from the late 70s Key / Nelson punk band, so actually a pre-Hilt, pre-Flu-

The overdriven fuzz textures used on the guitar and organ tracks in the Velvet Underground's "Sister Ray" and "I Heard Her Call My Name" off White Light/White Heat were essential in shifting my preferences from notes and tones to pure sound. They still sound impressively crunchy and saturated even since finding The Rita, M.O., and Dead Body Love. I know there are likely "better" examples but that's more or less where it started for me.

I always had a soft spot for Ween and now I know why.  Good to know Ween can knock out a more interesting PE track than a lot of PE artists.

a couple that had an influence on me when first heard many years ago as it was disharmonious and at the time was basically 'noise' to me... until i got used to it anyways. these stuck out to me...

Chrome █ Half Machine Lips Move (album) ▬ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZfGrdRcTyc

Rudimentary Peni █ Cacophony (album)  ▬ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL-sX36SJvc

Guitar Wolf █ Jet Generation (album) ▬ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUabO1cZ1zo

Velvet Underground - Black Angel Of Death Song ▬ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU4G_8VYlOQ

Legendary Stardust Cowboy - Paralyzed ▬ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viK3i0fRDRs

Hasil Adkins - She Said ▬ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLka7gxpivw

Cows (anything live from these guys goes into chaos usually) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4mKRm9rSLU

I will stop now as this will go on forever. The term 'noise' being relative may make you scoff at these but either way they are all good stuff, 'noise' or not. This counts as making an effort. ☻

Guess you are not looking for anything Black Metal related?

I suppose there are probably a fair amount of black metal bands which have proper noise tracks. generally when I think black metal I think dark ambient interludes rather than full on noise, but thinking on it I could come up with the following bands:

Akitsa
Aryan Kampf 88
Flooded Church of Asmodeus (at least the demo cassette)
Ildjarn (depends on what you see as noise)
Reptile Womb
Ride for Revenge

There are probably a few other bands related to Hospital Productions and Bestial Burst that would fit into this category although it almost feels like cheating since a lot of the artists are actively involved in the noise and black metal camps.


Also some Abruptum albums!
