ratfolktopia Incredibly technical & spastic, riffs scarcely play for more than a couple of seconds, and the speed they run through them creates the appearance of pure unmitigated chaos. It is impossible to recognize every detail in a single listen, and once in a blue moon you'll realize they've repeated a riff. Favorite track: Computer Illiterate.

Ryan Daley I love this album because I have no idea how it was made. But it *was* made, and it drives and chugs through track after track just as brutal as the one before. Favorite track: BPM.

Christian Molenaar Noism’s sole full-length is a testament to the duo’s unwavering originality, combining a wide range of elements from disparate genres (breakcore, technical death metal, harsh noise and more) into a riveting, driving whole. The lone constant here is punishment, as the band fuses many sounds into one obstreperous mass.

einardavidson Some absolutely off-the-wall and surprisingly, actually enjoyable noise-cyber-grind. Fantastic listen and frequently revisited. Favorite track: Man-I-C.

about

The first real release from the Japanese glitch/shred duo Noism, following their appearance on the Relapse compilation Drummachinegun and a series of demos. Formed by guitarist Yoshiro Hamazaki and programmer Tomoyuki Akiyama in 1999 in Tokyo, Noism focuses on ridiculously complex and spastic death/grind instrumentals using programmed drums that are cut up and spliced back together into impossible rhythms, a million brain-melting riffs and dissonant shredding, all of which is chopped up and processed into abstract death blasts that defy physics. This twelve-song, twenty-one minute disc features a unique, glitched-out chop shop of Planet Mu-style beats delivered at truly meth'd levels of chaos fused with sweeping technical death metal. Insane. Highly recommended for fans of extreme, way-out avant-guitar spazz and absurdly technical deathgrind.
