"Latter-day harsh noise subgenres, such as harsh wall noise, which developed concurrently in the American and Japanese noise scenes of the 1990s with artists such as Monde Bruit and Incapacitants for the latter and Skin Crime and Black Leather Jesus for the former, are practiced by all sorts of artists, from K. K. Null to Werewolf Jerusalem, Kites, Hum of the Druid, and Wolf Eyes. These harsh noise genres sit alongside diffuse techniques and practices, from persisting power electronics (Genocide Organ); to DIY noise improv (Prick Decay, Sonic Catering Band, Morphogenesis); to the noisier ends of lo-fi, noise performance art (Justice Yeldham), concept-laden noise rock, and improvisation (Mattin); and to the wide genre(s) of post-noise music."
