Noxagt...

Not fully back yet, but I will do a slight update regardless. I didn’t have much trouble removing and replacing my old computer. This new computer really has shown me how far behind I was technologically with my old computer. It’s amazing really; I didn’t think it was THAT bad. Regardless, I am still importing music and such, which is taking more time than I would have liked. It will be nice to have a lot more on here than I was able to keep on the old computer.

I am just going to brief on an album I just recently encountered the past few days, that being the new album from the instrumental Norway trio of Noxagt. The group has a new album out on Load which is self-titled. I haven’t listened too much of them in the past, but I did read that this one was produced by Billy Anderson, who has worked with the Melvins and the Swans in the past to just name a couple. Anyway, if you can recall the slow weighty heaviness that Anderson produced with those bands then you can fully expect to hear more of the same on the new Noxagt record. It’s thick, noisy, and slow. The music is a bit different than a lot of the material on Load, aside from the noisy aspect; there isn’t as much quirkiness to this. A slightly altered form of sludge possibly, regardless of what it is, it’s fucking heavy and it's pretty good too.

As always, if you dig the tunes go pick this up over at Load, and while you’re at it snag the new USA is a Monster…it’s pretty nifty sounding as well.
