A grand-master of Harsh Noise worship from Vancouver, Canada.
Might be safe to say one of the pioneers for HNW (Harsh Noise Wall): No one had never called the dense/static/minimal harsh noise style and the substance as 'HNW' before he has described the term on "Total Slitting Of Throats" released in 2005.
