# Extreme Noise Terror

**Extreme Noise Terror** is a death metal band, from United Kingdom, active 1985 to present.

Extreme Noise Terror are a British extreme metal band formed in Ipswich, England in 1985. They are considered to be one of the earliest and most influential crust bands. Noted for one of the earliest uses of dual vocalists in hardcore, and for recording a number of sessions for BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, the band started as crust punks and helped characterise the early, archetypal grindcore sound with highly political lyrics, fast guitars and tempos, and often very short songs.
