Slasher Risk.

Slasher Risk, from New York, are rapidly becoming my new avant/noise/improv/whatever crush band, combining some of the same elements that used to make Magik Markers and Charalambides so unmissable with plenty of the malevolent horror movie tension and sonic violence their name implies.

And like the reference points mentioned above, I suspect they're also the kind of band whose recordings are likely to capture only a mere shadow of what they're able to do live. Luckily though, we have the internet. So, until someone is foolhardy enough to bring Slasher Risk to your town/country/continent, I'd advise all unrepentant skronk fiends in the audience to dim the lights, put half an hour aside, curl up with a mug of cocoa, and put this on full screen:
