In the 90s, there was Techno. Gabber was an even more extreme form of it. Then there was Speedcore - an even more extreme variant of Hardcore and Gabber.
And, well, there also was Noize Creator.
And he really took the hardest of 90s electronic music to an even more diabolical level.
There were hardly any other artists whose output was so violent, nasty, terrorizing.
The template for his tracks was "simple" enough - at least at first glance. No advanced technical trickery like some Acid- and / or Gear-based Hardcore producers. No musical theory for strings and chord progression like the Dance Gabber crowd.
Instead we get:
1. Drums, distorted and most bass heavy, as if the hardware itself was blown before producing them.
2. Sparse snares and other percussion, hammering on as if being operated by a gorilla on aggro.
3. Death, Trash, Black Metal guitars.
And, most importantly:
4. Screams, threats, whispers, pain, rantings of a lunatic, confessions in the face of death, rage, vengeance; sampled from a selection of cult and underground narrative movies.
Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Copkiller (with Johnny Rotten!), Cape Fear, Bodysnatcher, and a few other selections - with a dedicated focus on Robert de Niro.
The gritty realism and nihilism of 70s auteur cinema (and the influence on media in later decades) - with its excessive scenes of violence, torture, and fits of relentless rage.
And that's a pretty good description of Noize Creator's music as well.
Towards the end of the 90s he changed his style more towards Breakcore and early Electronics. He began running some labels himself, with some very good artists / releases.
After that, there were only sparse lifesigns by the man.
We want to look at 11 of his best early works now:
1. Noize Creator - Gangzta
2. Noize Creator - World Wide
3. Violent Aggression - Shizoid Fukd Soul

6. Noize Creator - Out of order Vol. 1 A1
7. Violent Aggression - King of the Kill
8. Noize Creator - Juncalor A3
9. Kings of Noize - If J*sus was the Devil
10. Noize Creator - Feeling Like de Niro
