***There is refuge in sound. Especially when it collides with the critical human spirit. In desperate times (as the world is facing even more fervently) sound can truly be a weapon of awareness. Nothing makes this case more "black and white" and apparent than the most recent full length by BASTARD NOISE: Incineration Prayer - Self Righteous Suicide. Created exclusively with organic hand made ROARAFC caveman electronics (built BARNES of MAN IS THE BASTARD, BASTARD NOISE and AMPS FOR CHRIST), "Incineration Prayer" (Side A of the album) is a dire message to take heed that the earth mother is bleeding and turning into a furnace at the hands of "mancruel". Full blown cosmic attack and next level desperation-based vocals/lyrics that reflect the power of nature rebelling in the face of death.

Mantra Of Desperation is a must own for all who think and listen outside the "blood-soaked/blood-caked box". Includes a sticker, 7"x7" patch and insert.
