I'm a recent convert and can recommend the following, all of which are noisy:
Shabaka Hutchings -- bands include Sons of Kemet (really inventive jazz), Shabaka Hutchings & The Ancestors (more African influenced), and The Comet is Coming (sax and rave collaboration)
Peter Broetzmann (that 'e' is replaced with an umlaut) -- now in his 70s, ear-splittingly powerful but morphing into beauty too; he collaborates with many key figures in the avant-garde jazz world
Mats Gustafsson -- Broetmann's protege, in a lot of bands, the most interesting being Fire!, Fire! Orchestra and The Thing; similarly intense
Pete Wareham -- long-time member of Polar Bear where he duels on sax with Mark Lockheart; lead member of the brilliant, energy-infused Melt Yourself Down, inspired by Cairo in the late 60s (Shabaka was initially in this band)
