Extreme Noise Terror (often abbreviated to ENT) are a British Crust Punk / Grindcore band originally formed in Ipswich, England in 1985. The band are widely considered one of the earliest and most influential European grindcore bands,[1][2] and particularly the forefathers of the crustgrind subgenre.[3]
Notable for one of the earliest uses of dual vocalists in hardcore punk,[3] and for recording a number of sessions for BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, Extreme Noise Terror started as a crust punk band and helped characterise the early, archetypal grindcore sound with fiercely political lyrics, grinding guitars, extremely fast tempo and often very short songs.
