Golden Sores – a Peaceable Kingdom
finneyerkes – Gather and Sing
Chord – Flora
Prurient – Cocaine Death
Hospitals – Hairdryer Peace (it was released on CD this year so I’m counting it!)
Locrian – Rain of Ashes
Health – Get Color
Aaron Dilloway – Chain Shot
Merzbow – Fukurou: 13 Japanese Birds Pt.2
Merzbow – Camouflage
Oneohtrix Point Never – Rifts
Sunn 0))) – Monoliths and Dimensions

What did I miss?

That’s a really good list. I enjoyed Black Boned Angel, Merzbow, Sunn O))), Melvins and need to check out a bunch more (recently ordered the Emeralds and Oneohtrix CDs from No Fun).
Here’s my rundown of the year, much less noise-centered but maybe you’ll find something of interest there:

wasn’t that impressed by the latest 0))) album – haven’t checked out KTL’s latest one yet.
