NOISM was formed in 1999 by Yoshiro Hamazaki (guitar) and Tomoyuki Akiyama (programming) in Tokyo, Japan, to pursue the ultimate brutality and complexity of music.
NOISM has consistently used programmed drums. The band initially had vocals and bass but eventually phased them out as they established their own musical style. NOISM released the first demo entitled Brutality and Complexity in 2000 and performed in live shows in Tokyo with other Japanese death metal bands for the next couple of years. They also released a number of songs online between 2001 and 2004.
After Tomoyuki moved to the United States in 2002, the band continued making songs remotely between Japan and the United States. NOISM contributed two songs to the compilation album Drummachinegun from Relapse Records in 2006.
Their new album ± was released from Crucial Blast Records on August 26, 2008.
The first real release from the Japanese glitch/shred duo Noism, following their appearance on the Relapse compilation Drummachinegun and a series of demos. Formed by guitarist Yoshiro Hamazaki and programmer Tomoyuki Akiyama in 1999 in Tokyo, Noism focuses on ridiculously complex and spastic death/grind instrumentals using programmed drums that are cut up and spliced back together into impossible rhythms, a million brain-melting riffs and dissonant shredding, all of which is chopped up and processed into abstract death blasts that defy physics. This twelve-song, twenty-one minute disc features a unique, glitched-out chop shop of Planet Mu-style beats delivered at truly meth'd levels of chaos fused with sweeping technical death metal. Insane. Highly recommended for fans of extreme, way-out avant-guitar spazz and absurdly technical deathgrind. - Crucial Blast Records

告知失礼致します。 BLUE tal YOKOHAMA curated 「blue line -The Heavenly Music Corporation From Hell-」 2009 6.07(Sun)シネマ・ジャック&ベティ1Fカフェ http://www.jackandbetty.net/
「ロフト・エクスペリメンタル/The Heavenly Music Corporation From Hell」
"The Heavenly Music Corporation"をひとつのルーツに掲げ、かつて黒澤明に"地獄"として描かれたことのある街"黄金町"の映画館カフェを解放し、ノイズを通過した2009年型「ロフト・アンビエント/ドローン」「ロフト・エクスペリメンタル」を実践する試みをBLUE tal YOKOHAMA -blue line-としてキュレーションし、その初回を6月7日に迎えます。 今からちょうど40年前の1969年、オーネットコールマンがソーホー地区にあった自宅の一室のスタジオをリハーサルやコンサート用として創造的ミュージシャンに開放したことを発端とし、やがてソーホー/ビレッジ地区に増殖した..にて数々のアンダーグラウンドジャズのイベントが催された「ロフト・ジャズ」の手法に習い、blue lineでは既存のライブハウスのシステムから脱却し、開かれた実験の場として2009年型「ロフト・エクスペリメンタル」の実践を試みます。 blue lineの..は、かつて黒澤明に"地獄"として描かれたことのある街"黄金町"の映画館カフェ。 音像に加えインディペンデントの短編映画とのクロスオーバーも試みます。 2010年代型の革新的な試みをイリーガルと準えての「青線=blue line」行為です。
