There are a few Merzbow tracks with more or less of a rhythm.  For
example, the first track on _Music for Bondage Performance_, much of
_Music for Bondage Performance 2_, a track on a noise comp from Charnel
House (the title of which I forget), a handful of 7" sides incl. a couple
on _Metalvelodrome_ disc 2.  Some of _Pulse Demon_ does have some sense of
pulse.  Finally, the first track on a new release, _New Takagebara_
(something like that anyway) has some rhythm.
