• Hail to the skull, because Bastard Noise is back! W.T. Nelson and Eric Wood deliver six tracks of oscillator screeches, squeals, and squeaks that soundtrack a movie about a space mission gone horribly wrong. Possible taglines for this plot? Take a glance at the liner notes for album closer "Radioactive Sunrise" ("The worst sunrise of all") or one of the "four vivid color ultra-gloss mission report documents" (their wording) - "The Final Chapter In Space Imprisonment". Bobby Bray (The Locust) and Justin Pearson (The Locust, Some Girls, Head Wound City) provide dueling vocals on this cut.
