Agoraphobic Nosebleed is a metal/grindcore band formed in 1994 in Massachusetts, United States. Its line-up has changed often during the years, leaving the only permanent member Scott Hull (guitars, bass, drum programming), who also plays guitar in Pig Destroyer. The current line-up includes vocalist Jay Randall in addition to Hull.

Agoraphobic Nosebleed's music is often described as cybergrind, i.e. grindcore utilizing drum machines and other electronic sounds. The use of drum machines has enabled the band to play songs with tempos of thousands of BPM. The lyrics usually revolve around politically very incorrect subjects, such as drugs and violence.

The band is renowned for the shortness of its songs: Their album Altered States Of America features 100 songs in just under 20 minutes, many songs clocking in just a few seconds or less.
