The Beast of Noisenibor is a compilation of the noisiest and nastiest bits of Noisenibors output over the last five years, from this Noise project of writer and artist Christopher Nosnibor, who also writes reviews for Whisperin and Hollerin and well as Aural Aggravation, he also runs Clinicality Press and has written several books, all while caring for his wife who sadly lost her battle with cancer, leaving Christopher to raise his daughter alone. Some of this noise is catharsis and some just the total frustration at 21st century living. This is not for the faint of hearing.
From the opening cacophony of The Drill Part 3 that sounds like a jackhammer and assembly of drills pounding your brain with Noisenibor ranting away, blow the noise infesting your brain into the stratosphere. Last Days Part 2-III is low sub fusc interference and murmurs, industrial noises rise, vocals ask what are you doing? Do you really want to know the answer, of course not, this is bound in pain of loss and rudderless feelings, that life has gone to pot and you can never really be okay again.
Make It Stop isn't a Ross Johnson cover, opening with what sounds like recordings of an air conditioning unit on the fritz, those tones that won't shut up, gnawing away at you underneath everything else, while the pleas to Make It Stop and let us have some silence are interspersed with interference, amplified computer buzzing and squalling sounds.
On Brand (ER Version) opens with a slow thumping bass drum and encroaching noise storm, full of static and howling wind, while the rant to make sure you are always On Brand, never erring from your brands own MO, while all the management speak is twisted into feelings of isolation and despair, but you better be on call 24/7 or this noise will truly fry your brain.
Extraction 1 feels really calm to start with just a low humming noise that feels like respite after the previous tunes, just odd pulses like a steamer being opened in your favourite coffee shop, or more likely the air gun being used by a dentist while drilling your teeth.
Live At Emom 06.11.2024 is in three parts On Mute features a really angry Christopher heckling an soundman who needs to turn his microphone off of Mute onto full sound, this manic rant against the squalls of noise is kind of a 21st century update of the Troggs Tapes, of course his microphone is actually on, that mutates into Weighted Vest with weird machine gun drum machine noises and echo laden rantings, encouraging you to check his side hustle and how just having one changes his life, its keeping him alive, is yours.
The noise shifts into Cunts In Suits with feedback pummelling your mind, tonal nastiness having a real go at how we are all bullied by the Cunts in Suits in ways that never make any real sense.
A Psychological Spasm is the first real tune on the album, at least the opening drum pattern is, before clocks and other assundered noise breaks through and the vocals tell us about the dread of what happened at the start of the pandemic lockdowns, how it destroyed minds and lives, while trying to cope with the isolation and despair it caused. Stuck in a loop of endless doom scrolling that needs more and more intense screeds of noise to try to keep the bile and consternation at bay, from all the mad things Boris and co spouted.
Pedal To The Metal 5 opens with a long annoying tone that gets mauled and sampled into a buzz kill grinding at your mind as knobs get twisted and the sound flutters distorting your already distorted reality further, wave forms distort things even further.
The album closes with Thought For The Day replete with bird song fluttering around you speakers Christopher reads his own thoughts for how he hopes the world might improve, or will it just stab you in the arse, noise takes over from the birds, go on get on teams and solve the world's problems, let that sailors whistle blow your mind as the Hoffman press noises blow you out of your delusions. Now go take some pills to deal with the headache you now have.
