Noxagt (like Lightening Bolt) are being whispered about in reverent circles as the saviours of Noisy Avant-Garde craziness. A scary Scandinavian outfit peddling dense repetition, dark grumbling blues, wild riffing, underpinned by heavy viola & violin, kind of like Kyuss covering Long Fin Killie after eating the singer or Killdozer gone to Norwegian art-school with Godspeed. Stunning sounding stuff indeed. Not many tunes but then again, you lot of stubborn sods DON'T really like tunes do ya? DO YA????!!! This intense collection of work is entitled 'The Iron Point' & is unleashed by Load recs!Norwegian three piece NOXAGT come at you with record #2. Bass, drums and viola configured for maximum damage to ear canals. After wowing audiences on their October 2003 US tour, they unleash a monster studio recording that has an amazing diversity of sounds. This record swings hard my friends, rocks like a demon and has some majestic dynamics. "The Iron Point" even has Nils Erga's (Noxagt's viola player) octogenarian grandfather singing on one track! NOXAGT is for fans of hard rock and swinging unconventional riffage, dirty crawl such as the MELVINS, and single minded pummel like label-mates/touring partners LIGHTNING BOLT. BILLY ANDERSON (SLEEP, MELVINS) produced this slab with an eye for skull- burning bass crunk, artery bursting drum hits, and full spectrum viola rake. The LP will feature deluxe gatefold action with a scenic picture so lush you can travel inside with your mind.
