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!
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
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.
