Agoraphobic Nosebleed is an infamous grindcore band that originated in Springfield, Massachusetts, known for their relentless speed and brutal sound. The band was formed in 1994 by Scott Hull, who is also recognized for his role in the influential grindcore band Pig Destroyer. Agoraphobic Nosebleed is renowned for their use of a drum machine that contributes to their incredibly fast tempos and mechanical precision, which has become a defining characteristic of their music.

Over the years, Agoraphobic Nosebleed has developed a cult following within the grindcore and extreme metal communities, largely due to their intense and unorthodox approach to music. Albums like "Altered States of America" featuring 100 tracks in 20 minutes, and "Frozen Corpse Stuffed With Dope," have become landmarks in the genre for their abrasive soundscapes and darkly humorous song titles. The band has remained prolific and continues to push the boundaries of grindcore and metal with releases such as "Agorapocalypse," which showcased a more refined yet equally destructive sonic assault, and "Arc," which was a notable departure exploring sludge and doom influences. Agoraphobic Nosebleed's unconventional melding of extreme music styles and irreverent attitude toward conformity and tradition has secured their place as one of the most innovative and unyielding acts in the realm of extreme music.
