Formed in 2004, Noisecult rose from the ashes of several years of musical wreckage and determination. Pieced together by the nucleus of Bo Heyward (Lead vocals) and Don Carr (Guitar & vocals), Noisecult is the product of a 10-year-old musical collaboration. Beginning in 1993, Carr and Heyward began forming various bands throughout the years combining their love of 1970s and underground metal, aggressive punk and the classic wall of sound hammered out by Black Sabbath.

"It is our shared passion for the sound and raw energy bands like Motorhead, COC, Black Flag and AC/DC created that have kept Don and I doing this for so long," Heyward continues, "it doesn't matter what style is the it deal at the moment, we play what we like and that has really become who we are. Adds Carr, Our friendship grew from this music, so playing it was pretty much just a normal step".

Spring 2004, after a few year hiatus the two set out to finally bring together the band they had always strived to build. Planets aligned and there seemed no better time to form Noisecult. In late 2005, following the release of group’s first length CD, End Of Days, the band played all the shows they could to get the material out there. "We strive to be a great band period, but delivering it on stage is what we set out to do to get our music heard" continues Heyward.

2006 found Noisecult releasing their second CD, titled "One From None". Recorded at Hilltop studios in Nashville with long time band friend (and occasional drummer) Producer Matt McElroy at the helm. "Matt is a cool guy and a truly great engineer who I've known for a long long time" Carr states "He knows what we are looking for in our sound and is invaluable to us, he’s forever considered a member of Noisecult".

After signing up with Stik Man Records Noisecult’s "Volume 3: Vociferous" (2007) picks up where the others left off, as a collection of hard hitting rock and metal songs aimed at the true heavy rock listener. "I think anyone who likes good old style stoner rock, metal, punk, whatever, with good grooves, great lyrics, intense riffing and a raw in your face vocals will be able to get into what we've done on these CDs" - Bo Heyward.

2009 sees Noisecult welcome the power house drumming of Will Logan into the fold. Logan has made a name for himself by manning the skins for Nashville area metal demons Voodoo Prophet. Writing, recording and playing live shows garnered him a 2008 nomination as best metal drummer from 102.9’s the Buzz annual Buzz Awards. “We are pretty excited to have Will join the Noisecult lineup. We needed someone who could step up and be able to unleash some fury be it on some full on metal or a 70’s punk groove, and he is a perfect addition” states Heyward

“Playing our songs live and feeding off the energy you get from a crowd is what this is all about” says bassist Sean Kay. This past year saw Noisecult get some great exposure playing with some of metal’s classic underground heroes like: thrash legends OverKill, Doro Pesch, Joey Belladonna of Anthrax, Warbringer, Skeletonwitch and doom metal pioneers Trouble. Sean adds “our goal is to take our music as far as we can push it and get it out there to as many people we can by playing live”. “Great bands have to pay their dues and build a fan base by playing live and winning them over with great songs and a high energy show, that to me is where all the immortal bands made their mark and that is what Noisecult intends to do” – Carr

You can bring home some of that energy on their new concert DVD entitled Live Raw Noise. And coming in spring/summer 2009 two new Noisecult releases. A Stik Man Records re-release of Noisecult’s second album One From None. This version will include 2 new songs and re-recorded slammin’ versions of some One From None favorites. Also a 12 song as of yet untitled pure rock album is set to hit the scene as well.

Whether it is the raw classic strength of "End of Days", the aural assault of their second release “One From None", or the blitzkrieg of power on the new CD "Volume 3: Vociferous", as a hard rock and metal fan you wont be disappointed.
