The New Blockaders ... and related


"We are The New Blockaders. Blockade is resistance. It is our duty to blockade and induce others to Blockade. Anti-books, anti-art, anti-music, anti-clubs, anti-communications. We will make anti-statements about anything and everything. We will make a point of being pointless."

The New Blockaders combined a masked mythology with a militant anti-art/anti-music stance manifesting itself in a series of obliterating aural documents and a string of 'live offensives' that did violence to feeble concepts of musicianship and technique. They produced a barrage of pure noise that had only a very abstract connection to music: Masses of piled, scraping metals, multi-level drones and tense, swirling tape-loops fused into a symphony of massive noise. This was the very definition of nihilism through sound, proving that Noise music is in the domain of abstract art (though it may be an irony that although advocating anti-art they created superb abstract art in musical form). The metal-bashing of K2, the awkwardness of Runzelstirn & Gurgelstock, the density of Macronympha and the abrasiveness of Merzbow all owe something to the anti-music of TNB. A group who, more than any other, define the essence of true Noise music both in art and in act. Their influence on the current crop of "popular" crossover Noise artists such as Prurient and Wolf Eyes is immeasurable. They can truly be credited as pioneers of Noise music as we know it today.
