Review of Noise Against Racism Compilation on Blackened Death Records and HNM Records

It’s fair to say this is a monster of a compilation featuring 74 tracks and 9 hours of music with the clear intent that “The noise community will not harbour racism or fascism in our ranks”. I’m delighted to have contributed to this compilation.

There’s a whole range of sounds from dark ambient soundscapes, distorted guitar riffs, glitchy guitar beats and feedback to harsh noise. The album opens with Kill Pill Volume 2 – 100 Dead Nazis which has a film quote leading into a kind of lo-fi beat with distorted bass and white noise drone.
