ES: Volume 3 Discography (2.1 GB)
Release date: 2023-2024
Genre: Noise, harsh noise, plunderphonics
Notes: Largely fandom- and internet-inspired noise and experimental. Quite an odd project, and very prone to self-deletion (I don't how much, if any, remains online elsewhere.)
My Lovely Figment - Lost Rehearsal June 4th 2010
Release date: 2010
Genre: Drone noise
Notes: Very distinctly non-harsh, almost organic noise session. It feels like a heavy blanket on a cold day, or like mushroom and lichen growing in rainy underbrush in the woods. (At least to me; who knows what associations it might conjure up for you.)

oh, the burden of living. - please love me, i crave your affection.

Release date: February 1st, 2016
Genre: Power electronics
Notes: "The CELEBRITY APPRECIATION SOCIETY (C.A.S.) is interested in exploring the obsession developed by large groups of people for public characters. Actors and actresses, models and singers, starlets and porn stars, historical characters and victims of heinous crimes: whenever a human being reaches the limelight, hordes of fans will develop questionable urges that can turn admiration into sexual obsession that often leads to trolling and stalking activities."
Wall Riders - Documents 1, 2
Release date: 2007
Genre: HNW
Notes: One of my favorite covers to date and a fine example of early(ish) limited-edition tape exclusive walls. The second part of side A is wall perfection IMO.
GIGA DRILL BREAKER - DELIRIUM
Release date: 2017
Genre: Harsh noise
Notes: I wish I knew what molecule that was. Side project of mashcore artist THM. Heavy use of panning, like each ear is listening to a half of a longer session doubled over itself.
GIGA DRILL BREAKER - TENSION

Genre: Harsh noise
Notes: SCREEEEEECHING. A machine that won't stop screaming.

Genre: HNW
Notes: Harsh noise wall from gorenoise freak Bobby Maggard
Terror Cell Unit - Death to Oakland
Release date: May 13th, 2022

Release date: December 29th, 2018
Genre: Harsh noise, VGM
Notes: The power of harsh noise is making your ears bleed.
Hearse Fetish - Cannibals of Winter Winds
Release date: February 25th, 2011
Genre: Drone noise

ltmrs - Suspension of Disbelief
Release date: November 8th, 2019
Genre: Noise, dark ambient
Notes: Between the masked cover and some faints sounds behind the noise, part of me wants to imagine this as the soundtrack to the most ominous ballet or play of all time.
SEKAI - 「It's no use...」
Release date: April 15th, 2015
Genre: Kawaii noizu
Notes: Depressive harsh noise alternating with happy J-pop samples.
ltmrs - Shrill
Release date: August 13th, 2019
Genre: Field recordings, dark ambient, experimental
Notes: Voice memo recordings, physical drum jams, screeching hard noise, and dark ambient form a claustrophobic, anxiety-inducing whole. Quite dark.

Genre: Power Electronics, Harsh Noise Wall
Notes: Screams and samples punctuating walls of cold-eyed static noise.

Taint - Houston / Bellmead

tabby cat diaries - ☆★☆★☆~Habet Nyal Maganin~☆★☆★☆
Release date: November 8th, 2022

tabby cat diaries - DIARY ENTRY 1
Release date: November 8th, 2022
Genre: Glitch, noise, harsh noise
Notes: tabby cat diaries' work is almost voyeuristic sometimes. This isn't the kind of thing you usually get to see. Essentially a diary entry, as the title implies.
Begonia - Welcome Home
Release date: 2013
Genre: Wall-ish harsh noise
Notes: Yule trodden saps, swept low
Propagate the proper, or dissertate
Formally of course, we were never proud of you
propanus - inviting a girl over to watch me play minecraft and try to kill myself

Notes: Lolicore-adjacent shitpost noise, dozens of tiny tracks. Probably a distorted sample, blasted into smithereens in Audacity or something.
Insurgent - The 99 Names of God
Release date: 2011
Genre: Noise
Notes: For as usually terrorist-y as this project usually is, this was... a quite comfy listen. Basically ambient noise wall, with a bit of change, like a kind of incredibly lo-fi recording where almost nothing gets through but a soft blanket of noise. Part of me wonders if this was actually a sick power electronics album, but the guy ripping it forgot to change the batteries in his tape deck or something.
SEKAI - If My Heart Had Noizu 01

Genre: Harsh noise, J-pop
Notes: More kawaii noizu. J-pop sampling intermixed with harsh noise assaults.
Mavis - FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY ROTTED HEART, BABY!
Release date: June 7th, 2019
Genre: Harsh noise
Notes: Hyperaggressive digital harsh noise assaults. I think I overuse that word here, but this is an album that really deserves it. It wants to hurt itself or you, either or.
Nocturnus - Gakken EP
Release date: 2019
Genre: Noise
Notes: Minimal, lo-fi noise improvs on the A side, lo-fi obliterated samples on side B; heavy radio interference, all you can hear is split-second pieces of media lost before any fragment of a message is conveyed.
Noisyphilia - agscwfdcfvggrvviz
Release date: 2022
Genre: Harsh noise
Notes: J-pop and harsh noise, basically goes together like PB&J at this point. Than a short track of feedback and friction, and four minutes of pleasantly lo-fi noise that sounds like degraded damaged footage of some kind of underwater creature.
Akuma Daikon & Grim Kirby - Split
Release date:
Genre: Harsh noise, lolicore
Notes: Many short, sample-infused bite sized harsh noise tracks, topping off at just over a minute.
Nocturnus - Instarved Lag Tunes
Release date: March 28th, 2019
Genre: Harsh noise, experimental, glitch
Notes: I wish I could find the blog post he made to go along with this album, it was basically an antire written documentary on how he made it. Or was it another album? Stll wish I could find it. Very unique sound, unsure how to describe it.
propanus - scraping off my decaying penile growth with a cheese grater
Release date: 2015

Mavis - TEENAGE MUTILATION FANTASY
Release date: June 18th, 2019
Genre: Harsh noise
Notes: Hyperaggressive digital harsh noise assaults. I think I overuse that word here, but this is an album that really deserves it. It wants to hurt itself or you, either or.
SEKAI - The SEKAI Complex Guide To Blackened Skies & Hostile Behavior
Release date: July 2015
Genre: Harsh noise, J-pop
Notes: Ten tracks of bouncy, glitched-out (scratched CD style) J-pop interspliced with harsh noise that sounds like it would crawl out of the headphones and attack you if it could.
Hearse Fetish - La notte che Evelyn usci dalla tomba
Release date: November 24th, 2010
Genre: Drone noise
Notes: I can't think of a better descriptor than "basement noise."

AcePhoenix - 22:27
Release date: March 17th, 2015

Genre: Lolinoise
Notes: Absolutely nothing more needs to be said.
⇩LOAD - Unreleased Works
Release date: 2023
Genre: Noise, glitch, ambient
Notes: Lapfox's noise works are like nothing else on this earth. Their extensive experience in normal music gives their experimental pieces a deeply cimematic, professional sound you might expect from maybe Aphex Twin, still with a very DIY ethos. This is a bootleg of their work compiled by SatanicPaws, whose music you can find below as ES: Volume 3.
mold singles
Release date: 2018?
Genre: Dark ambient, noise
Notes: Someone going wild on the percussion, partially backed by someone manning the noise pedals, and two tracks of curious ghostly dark ambient.

Notes: Not Deuteronomy / ⇩LOAD, just a fan doing a sort of tribute project on a deleted bandcamp page.
The Barracks Of Afghanistan - Color

Genre: Noise
Notes: Power electronics style screaming and analog squelches, like battle between machine and human that the human is rapidly and obviously losing.
i love 98 - 98 is a cool number

Genre: Noise
Notes: Experiments from an artist usually known for their lo-fi acoustic emo under "pony necklaces" and "skrillex is god." Dedicated to their love of the numver 98.
Noisyphilia - 2021-12-05_noise
Release date: January 17th, 2022

SHITNOISE - UNREAL LOVE TERROR FEELINGS #4

Notes: Subtle bitcrushed dirges.
Fort Thunder(?)
Release date: 2006
Genre: Experimental, noise
Notes: MP3s recovered from Fort Thunder, and possibly affiliated with the artist behind skeleton jelly, which is *always* a good sign. If you don't like skeleton jelly we can't be friends.
tell me something good - say, I wanna hold yr side (single)
Release date: 2019
Genre: Noise rock
Notes: Rock music, frayed at the edges to the point of complete disintegration in audible pain but still proclaiming something incomprehensible and lost to time at this point with whatever strength it has left.
『Acid Lemons💊🍋』 - Blue Tack Girl
Release date: 2022
Genre: Harsh noise
Notes: Amateur audacity bedroom noise. I don't mean that in a bad way, either.
腐那 funa - お まえに
Release date: 2019
Genre: Noise
Notes: Minimal rhythmic noise jams. It will never blow my mind how simple of a concept noise is, but how none of these releases sound alike, and how often I completely fail to find a basis for comparison or even an accurate way to describe them.
tabby cat diaries - 銀河鉄道の夜
Release date: November 14th, 2022
Genre: Harsh noise wall
Notes: HNW dedicated to Night on the Galactic Railroad (銀河鉄道の夜)
DJ meow-meow menstruation - DJ meow-meow menstruation
Release date: March 11th, 2023

Notes: Nobody does it like tabby cat diaries. Pop music obliterated, strange shadows cast by the shards. Good shit.
Rob - Stalling

Genre: Harsh noise
Notes: More mutated rock music. Pretty fun and even kinda funky once you get into it.
Sefy - Slaughterhouse
Release date: 2022

Scuzz Mutt - きたない! Vol. 1
Release date: 2019?
Genre: Harsh noise
Notes: Noise and experimental compositions for physical instruments and digital distortion. I'm not totally sure what word means but it sure sounds scuzzy.
NCPSD - [rz426] NCPSD - Doom 2019
Release date: 2019
Genre: Harsh noise
Notes: Presumably the audio of a Doom playthough being fucked into noise in real time. I wouldn't know as I haven't played it, but it seems reasonable. Badass background music, but also Merzbow is sitting in the room with you twiddling knobs.
Pentagram - Noise Machine
Release date: 2019
Genre: Noise, experimental
Notes: I feel like this person just found out what noise is and is having a blast with it. Naive as it is, they managed to get some sounds out of whatever software they're using that I've never heard anywhere before, which is just why I love this genre; someone can come into it with nothing but a vision and manifest it, and leave me wondering, how the hell did he do that?
Kotaks - Delas
Release date: 2018
Genre: Harsh noise
Notes: Three short, fun blasts. Not a single moment is wasted, nothing but action and chaos and flailing. A solid way to spend 111 seconds.

Release date: 2022
Genre: Noise
Notes: Amateur audacity bedroom noise.
orchardgrl - the depthless
Release date: 2019

Genre: Power Electronics, Death Industrial, Sound Collage, Spoken Word, Dark Ambient, Noise
Notes: Sotos-dedicated power electronics compilation.
Big City Orchestra & Nux Vomica - Tryst 6
Release date: Unknown
Genre: Sound collage
Notes: BCO did some housecleaning and in order to get rid of hundreds of old tapes of random recordings, sessions, and detritus, they just released it like this. Since there's so many unique tapes the likelihood of a full archive is almost nihil, but at least we have this one from a rip on YouTube.
ノコギ子 nokogiko - nokogiko Live
Release date: 2019
Genre: Noise
Notes: I hear vocals, I hear drums. It seems to be the very verge of noise rock turning into pure noise.
Olioueoiaui - Noise Pieces
Release date: November 22nd, 2012
Genre: Noise, ambient, experiment, plunderphonics
Notes: Probably a /mu/ find. Soft at moments, experimental at others, and sometimes approaching vaporwave, which in 2012 was still in it's heyday.
Unknown Artist - Ninja McTits McTime SpyBlasters Ook Hiau Acta Crusher Horizon Paperboy
Release date: 2022?

Notes: Digital noise single released via Discord (by a deleted user, no less.) Not by Ninja McTits.
unknown artist - k. yong mix
Release date: 2020
Genre: Experimental, noise
Notes: I think I got this from /mu/, but who knows. Interesting selection of tracks from the noise and experimental underground. Ryoji Ikeda, Whitehouse, Gerogerigegege; it hits a lot of the big names and a bunch of smaller artists too.
TEMMA - MIDWEST ASSFUCK MIXTAPE
Release date: November 13th, 2021
Genre: Midwest emo, noise
Notes: Midwest emo mixtape, blasted with distortion and releases exclusively via a link dropped in a live chat at a URL show (IIRC)
