With abrasive grindcore colliding with avant-garde jazz, the group’s latest album Subnormal Dives is a challenging yet exhilarating experience.

You know that feeling you get, when you discover something criminally underrated?
Yeah, thats where I’m at, rn…
I never heard of ByoNoiseGenerator before in my life, I just saw this batshit insane cover, the genres on RYM having shit like Deathgrind, Avant-Garde Metal, and fucking Free Jazz, and thought to myself…
“Yeah… this is one of those albums…”
And yes it was, boys… we got a classic on our hands.

You know, I’ve been getting into metal music for quite a while now, specifically grindcore, yet I’ve struggled to find anything as intense as this album. The combinations of free jazz and deathgrind blend together perfectly, leaning into avant-garde metal, a genre that requires great skill to pull it off effectively. This band has a great understanding of what works within the genre, creating this chaotic, Frankenstein monster of unhinged sounds that clash together perfectly. In my ... read more

not nearly as wild as i was hoping from the genre tags. if you're looking for crazy brutal/tech-death/free jazz fusion, check out effluence

Rather tiring to the point of being bored by this spastic mess. It's incredibly fast and unorthodox while at the same time being drawn out and stale. It has some cool moments but is ultimately a record that doesn't mark much for me as I've been quite drained out by this well-produced, Car Bomb-esque, Mathy Tech-Death with Jazz thrown in for the hell of it. Nothing bad, but nothing I found notable either.
