The Hardcore Overdogs: Noisecore Techno: A look at one of the most abrasive genres in all the world of music

Do you like the sound of a dentist drilling into your teeth while you are stuck in their chair and can't get away?
Or being pushed into an oldschool CT Scanner, having to endure the deafening noise it makes?
The sounds of jackhammers while you have to pass a construction site?
Or that of a jet engine during lift off?

If you said "yes" to all of the above, we got just the right music genre for you:
Noisecore Techno.

It consists of noises that sound similar to the above mentioned, and many more things that bite the human ear.
It also adds techno drums to the blend.
But these drums then get distorted and / or sped up, until they sound like an ongoing train derailment themselves (and not so much like club beats anymore).

But in all seriousness:

Noisecore is a sub-genre of Hardcore Techno that started in the 1990s. As the name implies, it fuses elements of Japanese Noise / Harsh Noise with Gabber productions - and just like the Noise genre, it also profoundly draws on early Industrial music.
Unlike most Noise artists, producers in this genre often rely heavily on sampling. The samples, usually related to industrial machinery, gunshots, explosions, screams, then get "distorted beyond recognition" to get the desired noise effect.

The genre had it's heyday in the 90s and early post-millennium years. nowadays, it has somewhat fused with the ultra-speedcore genres.
But dedicated Noisecore producers are still around, lurking in the underground.

Together with Death / Black Metal infused Gabber, this is likely one of the most extreme, vitriolic, and nihilist form of Hardcore Techno - of any type of music, really.

Only for the (extremely) Headstrong!
