Headed by guitarist/bassist/drum programmer Scott Hull (besides of Pig Destroyer and once of A.C. as well), grindcore nut-cases Agoraphobic Nosebleed have existed in various forms since 1994. Their dim, punishing sound mixes together vitriolic vocals, harsh (and inhumanly fast) drum-machine beat generation, and Hull's Earache-schooled guitar riffing. Their songs are short and compress, in to the highest degree cases clocking in at less than a minute long. Their lyrics are often as unorthodox and/or mystifying as the band's appoint and song titles (e.g., "Chalking the Temporal God Module," "The Fatter You Fall Behind," "Lives Ruined Through Sex") would appear to paint a picture. Topics such as screwball revelation theories, homophobia and misogyny, drug conspiracies, thinker control, rampant capitalist economy and consumerism, and biological terrorism get all surfaced in their songs; and ar often addressed in ambiguous, free-associative shipway, interspersed with muckle of tasteless scatological outbursts, sometimes with a humorous slant and sometimes not.


Following a few split and EP releases and a couple of lineup shifts, Agoraphobic Nosebleed's first base "full-length" -- the 26-song, 19-minute Whitey Reduction -- came out in 1998 on Relapse Records and was recorded by the lineup of Hull and vocalist/electronics manipulator Jay Randall. The following yr proverb the release of a 6" EP entitled PCP Tornado as well as a split CD with the Boston, MA, hard-core band Converge entitled The Poacher Diaries. For The Poacher Diaries, Agoraphobic Nosebleed's lineup was expanded to admit a second singer, J.R. Hayes (besides the lead singer for Pig Destroyer). Agoraphobic Nosebleed's second full-length, the long-promised Frozen Corpse Stuffed With Dope, finally came prohibited in 2002, once once again on Relapse. This fourth dimension roughly, Hull and Randall were formally united by singer Carl Schultz and bassist/vocalist Richard Johnson (of Enemy Soil and the Index, and besides a member of Agoraphobic Nosebleed in their earlier years). The record album also featured guest vocal appearances by Hayes as well as members of Benumb, Necrophagia, Cephalic Carnage, and Brutal Truth.
