This week’s metal history show braves the poisonous air of heavy noise rock, a breed of rotten fruit fallen near the metal tree. Check out dissonant, angry originators Swans, Killdozer, and Melvins, plus aggressive offerings by Helmet, early Prong, Unsane, Today Is the Day, and Converge, leading up to current practitioners Ghold and Microwaves.
