UNSANE

UNSANE assisted in pioneering a more aggressive, less studied version of noise rock, one that blended the scum/art industrial music of Swans or Sonic Youth with the decidedly more straightforward hardcore idiom favoured by acts like Sick of It All. While developing the blueprint for noise-metal bands to follow, UNSANE cut a swath through underground music, inspiring a devoted, cult-like following. As a power trio, UNSANE relied upon a hammering rhythm section, a searing guitar howl, and distorted vocals that resembled the sound of a man trapped in the New York Subway system.
