This topic hasn't been updated in a while. I'm sure lots has happened since the last update that I'm not aware of, but here's some "news."
Lolita Slavinder published discography compilation CDs from Arseslaughter and A.N.H. Arseslaughter operated between Arse and YesMeansYes, and unsurprisingly they play short blasts of noisecore in the vein of Anal Cunt etc. So, good stuff in the classical vein. A.N.H. is way weirder with its drum machine beats and variance between short bursts and almost-music slower bits. No guitar, just drum machine, fuzzy bass and brute grunts. Possibly due to the project's line-up the slower bits remind me of Irritate, but either way, especially when compared with the more traditional material of Arseslaughter this one comes off as really odd. It's pretty damn good, though, once the initial shock passes. The label describes it better than me: "Blastbeats mixed with weird 80´s drum machine rhythms and very noncommercial attitude, this duo was originally influenced by the likes of Sore Throat and Godflesh and came up sounding like early Meat Shits, Audio Stench, Potabilizadora etc. drum machine driven noisecore bands from the golden era of the genre. "
Wasn't Rectal Machete's compilation tape mentioned here? Absolutely recommended! About 60 minutes' worth of nasty and screeching noisecore. Feedback-heavy, kinda punk-styled and sloppy, but easily tight, intense and noisy enough to not seem like some "noise for noise's sake"-style joke project. It can seem a bit goofy at times, and the screamed vocals may be too over the top for some, but I enjoyed the tape a lot. The tape shows clear intent at making damage. Released by Obsessive Fundamental Realism.
And while on topic of old stuff getting re-issued, Cadaverizer Records has just recently issued Aunt Mary's "Nicht In Den Gehörgang Einführen "-tape from 1992 and the split tape between Scab (Japan) and the Finnish V.M.S. (aka Vapaamelusaaste) from 1994. Haven't heard the AM-tape yet, but since it's an official reissue I'd assume the sound quality etc. should be ok. Luckily I've got the latter tape and it's very recommendable! I hope more "lost classics" will be reissued by the label.
As of actually new (non-reissue) stuff: Unpeace made a split with Morta Lenta and Musta Oksennus published a tape of their own, but sadly I've heard neither yet (comments are very welcome!). Fecal Fetal published a noisecore-style tape through Against Audio. 40 songs (with lyrics) in about 10 minutes. Raw, screeching stuff. That one can be streamed
on bandcamp. Beer Terror (
bandcamp link) just recently made a split with Ragebomb (which I'm awaiting in the mail, so I can't comment on that either hah...), and I think they have a couple of more split in the works. And... Is that it? Hopefully not!
Not 100% on topic, but Against Audio also released a split between Oksennus (Finnish obscure death metal) and Sedem Minút Strachu (Slovakian noisecore) at the same time as the FF-tape. The Oksennus-side is absolutely recommended, but SMS's side had a too damp and bassy sound for my liking.
