ENDON

ENDON is a chaotic force from Tokyo’s underground, blending ear-shattering noise, grindcore, and electronic mayhem into a sound that’s as confrontational as it is inventive. Formed in the early 2000s, this Japanese experimental collective—led by vocalist Taichi Nagura—has carved a niche with their unhinged live performances and genre-defying releases like *MAMA* (2018) and *Boy Meets Girl* (2021). Their tracks, including recent drops like *Fall of Spring* and *Love Amnesia*, feel like sonic panic attacks, merging distorted screams, glitchy synths, and pummeling rhythms into something weirdly cathartic.

Known for collaborations with noise icons like members of Melt-Banana, ENDON thrives on unpredictability, whether they’re soundtracking art installations or tearing through festivals. Albums like *Through the Mirror* and singles such as *Hit Me* showcase their knack for turning raw emotion into abrasive yet meticulously crafted chaos. If their music were a mood, it’d be “beautiful disaster”—a controlled explosion that’s equal parts terrifying and mesmerizing.
