Agoraphobic Nosebleed Biography
As with many legendary endeavors, what eventually grew into an inimitable legacy began as a
decision motivated by sheer frustration: On one fateful day in 1994, lamenting the lack of
drummers in the Massachusetts area, Scott Hull and friends formed AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED (ANb) with the help of a drum machine. The rest, as they say, is history. In 1998, after releasing a number of split EPs and seven-inch LPs, ANb (now featuring J. Randall of Japanese Torture Comedy Hour, ex-ISIS) put themselves on the map when they unleashed their Relapse Records debut, Honkey Reduction. Featuring 26 tracks of unbelievably manic grindcore, Honkey Reductionm sizzled flesh and tenderized minds; Hull made guitar strings swarm like pissed off hornets while his torrential drum programming rained down on the listener like AK47 rounds gutting a pumpkin.
In late 1999, AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED unleashed PCP Torpedo (Hydra Head), a scathing barrage of derangement nicely done up as a six-inch slab o' wax. The following year, Relapse issued a split release (The
Poacher Diaries) featuring ANb facing off against Boston metallic hardcore predecessors
Converge. As writing commenced for the next ANb recording, additional members were deemed
necessary: the band doubled in size, adding grindcore alums Richard Johnson and Carl Schultz.
In 2002, after an almost three-and-a-half-year wait, ANb unveiled their second full-length,
Frozen Corpse Stuffed with Dope. A surprise live appearance at the 2003 New England Metal
and Hardcore Festival, the first in the band’s history, caught everyone off guard.
ANb then set to work on a concept beyond bizarre: with a focused mindset, and a plethora of
mind-confounding ideas, the band wrote and recorded Altered States of America, a 100-track 3
CD. Released on April Fools Day, 2003, Altered States of America delivered the most ambitious
ANb album yet and delivered completely inhuman music with a consummate disregard for its
listener. After several more split releases, both 7” and CD, AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED
updated their lineup with Kat (Salome) replacing Schultz. ANb then unleashed the full-length
Agorapocalypse in 2009 via Relapse Records. The album was even more in-your-face and
aggressive than its predecessors, featuring a quantum leap forward in programming and material
in comparison to older material; the album found widespread praise from publications including
Rolling Stone, Alternative Press, and Terrorizer, among others.
Beginning in 2015, AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED began venturing further out into the
world of live performance, playing at Maryland Deathfest & Housecore Horror Fest in 2015; the
band has also been confirmed for the first-ever Netherlands Deathfest in February 2016. ANb is
now currently writing and recording a series of four EPs, each written in the preferred style of
each member. After a four-year break from the studio, the infamous extreme metal instigators
have returned with the first in the series designed to decimate your total being. Led by the
banshee-like howl of vocalist Kat Katz, ANb have unleashed a crushing, three-song onslaught of
misanthropic, musical violence. Simply titled Arc, the 25+ minute sludgefueled feast is ANb
sounding heavier, doomier and more destructive than ever before.
