Rotat - Disfigured Onanist (something about this one really engaged me in a year where my interests and listening habits were pretty disconnected from my noise habit, somehow a classic work of Finnish filth harsh noise that also has some of the surrealisms and degenerate weirdness of your junk noise classics, Smell and Quim and Slicing Grandpa and the likes - good)
Grunt - Hekhu (love how the track o-rengas sounds like two noise tracks at two different frequencies played over one another, like a tug of war between sheer chaos and something more meditative and strange)
Golden Purifier - Walpurgisopfer (ketamine atmospherics, hypnotic, saw Paul play a couple times this year and he ripped)
Network Glass and Jason Crumer - Prerequisite (randomly ordered this off bandcamp after being struck by the odd pairing of artists and was very pleasantly surprised, tons going on sonically and nothing sounds too jarring, it's well edited and at times skull numbing heavy)
Green Lawnmower Blood - The Peace of a Virtual Reality (my favorite dom release this year, love the lawnmower man, loved the cybernetic heaviness of this, weird shit, don't know what to say)
Masonna/Prurient - Anhilationism (annihilating indeed)
Star - Yutris (came out last year but fuck it Sam is my homie and his recent show sort of reinvigorated my enthusiasm for this thing as an art form, truly weird idiosyncratic and expressionistic stuff)
Slacking - Cycling through Bother and Bliss (hallucinatory noise)
