Noise and grindcore go together like cheese and fine wine… I think. What I’m getting at is that the two genres enhance each other when employed in tandem; such is the case with Source of Human Satisfaction, the new collaborative album from Transient and Bastard Noise. 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.
Like all good grind albums, Sources of Human Satisfaction is over as quickly as it begins; Transient and Bastard Noise rip through 10 songs in less than 20 minutes.
