New Hampshire's Razorgate emerged in 2021 operating at the fringe where black metal collides with noise, constructing abrasive and disorienting sonic worlds from the rural New England dark. The project's noise-tinged approach lends it a hermetic, underground quality that distinguishes it from cleaner BM acts.
