At long last... the return of OLDEST, the NYC duo of MICK BARR & BROOKS HEADLEY, in the form of a split 12" with one of their greatest inspirations, the legendary BASTARD NOISE. Ol dest manage to combine the avant metal execution that Barr has pioneered in projects like KRALLIKCE, ORTHRELM, CROM-TECH and OCRILIM, to name but a few, with the contrarian hardcore approach of Headley's past bands, which include BORN AGAINST, UNIVERSAL ORDER OF ARMAGEDDON, SKULL KONTROL and WRANGLER BRUTES. Bastard Noise need no introduction, as the long running vehicle for ERIC WOOD's extreme electronics exploration, active since the early 90s and originally serving as a more experimental sister band to his groundbreaking hardcore outfit MAN IS THE BASTARD AKA CHARRED REMAINS. Having established powerviolence as perhaps the most potent strain of hardcore in his past work with MITB, CROSSED OUT, and NEANDERTHAL, it comes as no surprise that Wood continues to compose the most uncompromising extreme music being made today. Whether operating in isolation or in collaboration, the power and integrity of Bastard Noise remain undiluted, with a legion of "skull servants" worldwide, sharing the urgency of the message and welcoming the brutality of the sonics.
