Y'all need noise

All from 2018, all full releases not songs but I ain't adding all this to the database sry so get Googling
1Worth
Neanderthal Camera
2Blood Possessed
3The Steps

Literally everything this guy puts out is masterful
4Legless
Screws You Up

your brain isn't the only thing Legless damages
5Rusalka
Revisualizations

Talent come to perfect fruition, tape is amazing
6Koufar
My Name Is My Name

Anything Mackenzie Chami is worthwhile and there's a ton, this isn't even the only Koufar tape from this year
7Sarin Snow
Natural Architecture

listening to this while making this list, real good abyssal power electronics
8Being
Hydrocracker
9Peter J Woods
Objects

raperies (like draperies)

not many folks can do with 15 minutes what Petey can
10Deterge
Superannuated

again, anything Jim Haras touches is gold, and packaged like it
11Facialmess
Eastern View

American Noisehead In Tokyo
12Andrea Pensado
As Within So Without

just discovered a few days ago, definitely not your average anything

odd vocal gestures augmented by synth noise that occasionally bursts, pretty fantastic
13VMS Elit
Pissing Methanol

junk noise for the new kids, short discography all thumbs up
14Rotat
Grease District

sick squalling Finnoise textures for the Road Warrior in you

another solid discog, nice guy too
15Kjostad
Frost Cracking Trees
16Bear Baiting
17Environment Electronics
18Breaking the Will
Rushing Wires
19Affinities

both Kjostad and Breaking the Will are projects of one Stefan Aune, he also runs an amazing label

dude is the best kind of straight nutso
20Primordial Wound
Pure Blight

sstatic entrapment
21Swollen Organs
Rotten Surrogate

who knew a covers album could be so dank
22Blood Burning
Stung In Coma

collabo project between Justin Lakes (see immediately below) and Jim Haras (see #10)

recipe for nothing but gooooooood shit
23Shredded Nerve
Milking the Predator Nest

good luck finding this particular tape, but this is one of my favorite projects currently (Justin Lakes from above, also of Pusdrainer and Discretion)
24Pissoir Rouge
Pissoir Rouge

tainted toilet trash talk tape
25Alba Cell
National Anthem

distant

obscured

not minimal
26Body Stress + Yasuhito Fujinami
Her Weeping Echoes

Body Stress probably IS my favorite project but didn't release anything solo this year so I'm kinda cheating with this super-dank split
27Pleasure Island
Drina Wolves

i don't know where i am but i know i don't want to be here
28Stroker
Jump Street

lady noise always good
29Striations
Vietnamization

early AOTY contender for a lot of people
30Straight Panic
Male Submission
31Disgust
Intimidate All Witnesses

speaking of Mackenzie Chami...
32Purity of Essence
3 Studies For a Crucifixion

nails. so many nails. millions of nails. the nails won't stop flowing, they are everywhere. everything has become a churning mass of nails.
33Wince
Bullets For German Radio

zap zap zap, the hype for Wince is large but I think this is just solid
34Grunt
Castrate the Illusionist

still haven't listened to this for some reason but it's Mikko so...
