Music Sound

Noise rock is a musical genre that developed in the 1980s as an experimental outgrowth of punk rock. Fusing punk rock's attitude with the atonal noise and unconventional song structures of early industrial and noise music, the noise rock introduced a new kind of avant-garde music to the alternative rock landscape. The style is sometimes referred to as "noisecore", though this term can also refer to a variety of fast, distorted hardcore techno music.

History

Some influences on the early breed of noise rockers were the stark rock and roll of The Velvet Underground (most notably their "White Light/White Heat" album), the bluster of the Stooges, the no wave movement of the late 1970s, and Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music. Later, Sonic Youth, for instance, propelled the No Wave aesthetic into the new direction of noise rock.

Later, the sound became associated with Japanese artists such as Boredoms and Melt-Banana, who incorporated the influences from Japanese noise music even further, and occasionally adopted completely chaotic structures creating extremely short, fast "songs" which were marked by blasts of rhythm, screaming, and extremely overloaded guitars.

At around the same time, grindcore bands such as Napalm Death and The Locust were developing a similar style which is also often referred to as "noisecore". In many cases, although the backgrounds of the bands are different, the "art" influenced noise rock bands and "heavy metal" grindcore bands both have similarly high levels of technical playing ability and have often collaborated on new music.
