I think this double tape covers most of the names suggested here, and i think it's still easy to find.
Not everything is noise/noisy but it's good.
Side A of my copy has something else dubbed on (still pretty good though) - not sure if the problem persists on the whole batch

Good suggestion Tisbor!

I just remembered Maskinanlegg: a guy playing harsh noise a few years back; i met him in Oslo years ago and we worked on a split that never came out.
I'm not sure if he's still active. I think his name is Bjørn?

[FreakAnimalFinland]

Mind + Flesh mentioned? Pretty good CD out on Force Majeure. Solid death industrial meets contemporary PE sound.

Maskinanlegg, yes Tisbor, good band. You are thinking of Bjørn Hatterud (http://www.discogs.com/artist/Bjørn+Hatterud. Medtioned him previously. Know him, pat me on the back if you want to reinstall the work on the split. Can forward contact info.

Mind + Flesh mentioned? Pretty good CD out on Force Majeure. Solid death industrial meets contemporary PE sound.

Thanx FreakAnimalFinland, no they are not listed. I presume you are talking about Mind & Flesh. If I am not mistaking Kim Sølve is involved in this project. Great guy. He is also involved in Blitzkrieg Baby and numerous other constellations and co-running the design venture Trine + Kim design studio (check below for link). Think M & F released an album this year as well. Its on my listening list.
