Bastard Noise- A Culture of Monsters LP

THE BASTARD NOISE follows a first quarter 2010 release of "THE RED LIST" (Split-issue alongside THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE) with a full-length "magnum opus" titled "A CULTURE OF MONSTERS". A paramount product of composition, sonic-rendering and package, this second volume of BASS/PERCUSSION/ELECTRONICS structured work realizes the full, true power of "THE SKULL" as a critical force in contemporary musical expression. Here "spun-steel-girder" virtuoso ERIC WOOD and Trogotronic "electronic-ace" W T NELSON are joined by original MAN IS THE BASTARD master-drummer JOEL CONNELL for what could become the most interesting T.B.N combination to date following the departure of DANNY WALKER (INTRONAUT/PHOBIA/MURDER CONSTRUCT) and his unmatched performance in the previous line-up.

'A Culture...' revives the depiction of "odyssey" via music and challenges the imagination in unprecedented manner. Arrangements for 'A Culture...' span a wide range of unrelenting, progressive and atmospheric expression without compromising potency or dynamic color. True to the "skull-tradition" of collaboration T.B.N. enlisted the efforts of many "trusted-skulls" to complete this endeavor, most noteworthy project guests: NATHAN MARTIN (CREATION IS CRUCIFIXTION) who performs the spoken-word title manifesto & MIKE REYNOLDS (LACK OF INTEREST) who deployed his own particular brand of mighty vocal havoc on a key track. Producer MICHAEL ROZON ("ROGUE ASTRONAUT" / "THE RED LIST") "serves the skull" anew, commanding his lethal battery of audio artillery to deliver this intricate and devastating assembly.
