Extreme Noise Terror, often abbreviated ENT, are pioneers in the crust punk genre, emerging in the early 1980s from Ipswich, England. Fusing the anarchic energy of punk with the brutal assault of metal, they helped forge the sound that would come to be known as grindcore. Their lyrical content, filled with vehement critiques of the political landscape, societal ills, and environmental disregard, often reflects their strong anarchistic stance and a deep concern for animal rights.

The band has undergone several lineup changes since their inception, but founding members Dean Jones and Phil Vane (until his death in 2011) remained at the vocal forefront for most of the band's tenure, creating a dual-vocal attack that became a staple of their sound. Noteworthy releases like "A Holocaust In Your Head" have become seminal in extreme music circles, influencing countless bands within the grindcore and extreme metal scenes. Albums such as "Damage 381" and "Being and Nothing" showcase the band's relentless drive to push the boundaries of sonic aggression, while "The Earache Peel Sessions" capture the raw energy of their early years. Extreme Noise Terror continues to be a formidable presence in the underground music scene, revered for their unwavering commitment to their craft and their influential role in shaping the sound of extreme music.
