TRANSIENT WITH BASTARD NOISE: Decibel Magazine Streams Entire Sources Of Human Satisfaction Album

Decibel Magazine issues of the record, “Noise and grindcore go together like cheese and fine wine… I think.

BASTARD NOISE’s Eric Wood contributes blasts of harsh noise that serve as vicious enhancements to the faster parts of Source Of Human Satisfaction and ups the harshness on the album’s slower sections.”
