Biography
The band is known for the brevity of its songs. Their album Altered States of America features 100 songs (including one hidden) in just under 22 minutes, with many songs of 5 seconds or less, and the longest song only 1:45.
Agoraphobic Nosebleed played their first live set at the 2003 New England Metal and Hardcore Festival . As their appearance was unscheduled, Pig Destroyer cut their set short so they could play two songs and an intro.
In 2006, Hydra Head Records reissued Agoraphobic Nosebleed's 6" PCP Torpedo as a double disc set entitled PCP Torpedo/ANbRX . The first disc consisted of the 10-song, 6-minute original EP. The second disc is over an hour's worth of remixes of songs from PCP Torpedo by breakcore and noise music artists such as Xanopticon , James Plotkin , Merzbow , and Justin Broadrick .
In 2009, the band released the album Agorapocalypse on Relapse, available as a CD, LP, and longbox CD. The split 7" with Crom was released a month later on Regurgitated Semen Records. In 2010, the band released a split 7" with The Endless Blockade for Relapse Records and a split 5" with A.N.S. for Tankcrimes Records. A split CD/LP with Despise You was released on Relapse in 2011. The December 2011 issue of Decibel Magazine included a flexi disc titled Make a Joyful Noise . http://www.decibelmagazine.com/flexi-series/
