I was unfamiliar with this Austin-based project before I got the album, so I pretty much went into it blind. Once I was done, I came out of it deaf. From the opening feedback blast of “Cemetery Without Crosses” to the last bit of “Sky Full of Stars for a Ceiling,” you're in for a lot of rumbling, low-end grinding noise. This is absolutely fantastic. It's heavy and crunchy, just like Grandma used to make, with a generous helping of feedback on the side. This is not all completely in your face wall of noise, however. For example, “The Hearse part 2” is almost subdued, with its high-pitched squeal and subtle rumbling. Of course, “The Hearse part 1” is a lot harsher, but still maintains the heavy high-pitched squealing as well.

What makes No Visitors so good, however, is that it isn't just static harsh noise wall. There’s a lot going on here with a lot of variety, with bits of silence that add to the tension of the pieces. They also skillfully use dynamics to draw you in, where it will suddenly quiet down only to turn around and unload with both barrels. For example, “Cemetery Without Crosses,” kicks into a quiet interlude in the middle that was actually incredibly low bass drone only to then disintegrate into a heavy cacophony of noise. In short, the cover image of a police car on fire is fitting in its imagery and an excellent counterpoint to the music. When I find myself thinking that I'd like to do a split with the band I'm listening to, that’s when I know that I am listening to something really good. It's been a while since I enjoyed an album of noise this much. If you like harsh noise, you need to get this. This album weighs in at around 125 minutes.
