New good harsh noise?

Was listening to Encephalophonic "beauty/death" tape today. Very good stuff. I think tape format, and C-20 length, compliments this release. Presentation of tape brings little connection to MSNP aesthetic, but without utter copycat behavior.
So what it is? It's something what mixing together Macronympha/Sickness/K2 and so on would deliver. It has the fast paced edits of metal junk and pedal noises of Sickness/K2 without being so fast, but with Macro kind of blown-out sound (although cleaner/sharper) with tasty mono-to-stereo transitions happening once in a while. In every way appears to be "typical" elements of harsh noise, yet what is the good dynamic harsh noise of today. I mean:

1) no lazy walls
2) no crackle studies
3) no keyboard melodies thrown in mix
4) no improv jams
5) no lo-fi feedback drone
6) no computer cyber noise

Just the heavy duty and ENERGY filled harsh noise? From Finland I think about some works of Umpio and some works of Keränen. But then when I start to think some good harsh noise things, even from many known artists, suddenly my mind wanders few years back?

You seemed pretty enthused by Mixturizer's "Siete Patologies". Nearly everything I've heard of this project so far could only be described as Harsh Noise.

Edit - my apologies, I misread the initials in the SI review.

They don't release very frequently but I really like everything I've heard by the duo Age Of Enlightenment on Hospital Productions. Their first tape was nice and long. Their sound is dynamic rumble and crumble accentuated by sharp feedback attacks and metal screeching

The Virgin Spring 12" and tape on Gods of Tundra last year were also quite good. Nice blown out sound bust still very violent.

To be honest I really miss the scathing harsh noise days of Pedestrian Deposit. The new PD stuff is good but primarily entirely removed from harsh noise.

I don't know if AODL and esp. Ahlzagailzehguh qualify as recent enough but everything I have heard by them have been really exciting harsh noise.

yeah, qualifies, but while I was writing opening message, checked out discogs if Ahlzagailzehguh has something new, and seems like most recent longer release is... 2008?

Seconding this. In general the Dayton scene has the whole dynamic harsh noise thing pretty nailed.

I don't know if I'd qualify AODL and Ahlzagailzehguh as "new," but both are extremely great.

I second Custodian and Developer.

Where the midwest lacks PE, we make up for it with great Harsh Noise.

New I would mean freshly released. I don't need lists of bands who are "new" in terms of being formed 2005 and having released something back then. I mean new releases as 2010, 2011, which has been good years for raw PE for example and possibly vast availability of HWN, but less of great harsh noise of type described in opening message.
