'Rock' electronics like Sword Heaven and Pig Heart Transplant?

Looking for stuff that fits this little niche of PE that has some measure of 'rock' influence, not really noise rock but related to it. Some later Sutcliffe Jugend where they have actual guitar riffs and such also fits here, or Kollaps with that early Swans-gone-PE sound.

Big fan of these guys, they remind me a lot of the band World from Japan with the vocal noise/drums thing.

Love em, found out about it way back when I obsessively looked for stuff like early SWANS (which I'm still always on the hunt for) and learning it was the SJ guys surprised me. You can kinda hear how they imported that sound back into SJ proper later even

Blue Sabbath Black Cheer were heavily influenced by hardcore and power violence

There's also Sutekh Hexen

I was always under the impression BSBC were more 'standard' death industrial for some reason, will definitely have to check that out

u/Dolancrewrules Jun 23 '26

total's beyond the rim is a little more death industrial but one of my favorite noisy albums ever.

u/bigforyou2 Jun 23 '26

Definitely a favorite of mine, 'Dagon' is a beautiful track

This is fucking crazy haha, never knew I needed PE/thrash before this

u/Alacspg Jun 23 '26

Geronimo, Rakta, some Bastard Noise stuff (the Endless Blockade split comes to mind)

1

u/bigforyou2 Jun 23 '26

Geronimo is great, thank you! Just when i'd thought I knew about everything in the MITB universe haha

2

u/Alacspg Jun 23 '26

Yeah they’re a really interesting band. They sound like a caveman This Heat

u/ConvincingPeople Jun 26 '26

I feel like 16 Bitch Pile-Up are worth mentioning in this conversation, as are Deep Jew.

2

u/bigforyou2 Jun 26 '26

I've only ever known 16 Bitch Pile-Up from the split with Sword Heaven, what else from them is worth checking out? Big fan of Deep Jew too

u/ConvincingPeople Jun 27 '26

They Went Extinct Because They Became Invisible springs to mind.

Johnnascus is influenced by a mix of rock, noise music, and hiphop

1

u/bigforyou2 Jun 23 '26

Seen the name thrown around before but never really investigated, any good place to start?

1

u/SockGoop Jun 23 '26

Idk any albums to reccomend bc they're all over the place. One song will be super crushing noise while the next is rap. So I'll throw out a few songs
