Merzbeat is a studio album by the Japanese noise musician, Merzbow. This album showcases Merzbow's noise music with different rock and hip-hop inspired drum beats and loops. Although Merzbeat is not part of the Minazo tribute releases, Minazo Vol. 1 and Minazo Vol. 2, it is the first album to mention Minazo as well as feature a caricature of him on the cover. The first pressing of the album has a hidden track which is a Jack Dangers remix of "Amlux" from Amlux.
