Child Abuse is a band that is renowned for pushing the boundaries of extreme music, merging the elements of noise, death metal, and free jazz to create a sound that is as intriguing as it is challenging. Their roots trace back to New York City's cauldron of the experimental music scene, where the need to stand out amidst the city's myriad of avant-garde acts forged their unique and abrasive sound. With a discography that revels in dissonance, their compositions are characterized by a chaotic blend of frenzied keyboards, aggressive bass lines, complex rhythms, and an overall intensity that can be both unnerving and exhilarating.

Over the span of their career, Child Abuse has carved out a niche for themselves among aficionados of the underground music scene. Their most recent releases, such as "Imaginary Enemy" and "Trouble in Paradise," showcase their continued evolution in the realm of harsh, unapologetic noise-rock. Their album, "Cut and Run," stands as a testament to their ever-morphing approach to song construction, brimming with confrontational energy and technical prowess. With every record, including their self-titled "Child Abuse" and their provocative collaborations like "In My Dream I Shot a Monk / Hat and Beard," they confront listeners with an auditory experience that is as intellectually compelling as it is visceral. The "Split" release also highlights their ability to collaborate and explore new territories within the experimental music landscape. Child Abuse's work is not for the faint of heart, but for those seeking music on the edge, their relentless inventiveness and undeniable skill offer a singular journey.
