Noiserip is a sludge/stoner/doom metal act from Ylöjärvi, Finland, delivering crushing, extended compositions that merge the suffocating weight of doom with grinding sludge and stoner grooves. Their self-titled 2020 release channels raw, unfiltered heaviness across two sprawling tracks.
NoNoYesNo is a Munich-based band that evolved from hardcore punk roots into industrial and sludge metal since 2011. The project's contradictory name reflects their shape-shifting approach to heavy music.
Northern Genocide is an industrial melodic death metal band from Lahti, Finland, releasing material through Inverse Records since their 2019 debut Genesis, vol. 666. Their catalog, including Harbingers of Genocide and The Point of No Return, blends mechanized industrial textures with the melodic aggression of Finnish death metal.
Portland's Nothing have been operating in the bleak territory between dark ambient and industrial metal since 2010, constructing soundscapes where oppressive machinery noise and electronic texture replace conventional guitar-driven metal. Their music is more atmosphere than assault, a slow corrosion that rewards listeners willing to sit inside its industrial gloom.
Nothing Has Changed is an industrial metal band from Tarnowskie Góry, Poland, active since 2020. Their pessimistic name drives the mechanical aggression of their industrial sound.
Minneapolis death metal outfit Nothingness formed in 2019 and have quickly carved out a place in Minnesota's thriving underground extreme metal scene with a sound that is unrelenting and purposefully unadorned. They favor the direct brutality of classic death metal — dense low-end, churning rhythms, and vocals dredged from somewhere beneath the frost line.
