battle milk - [first section]

Another triumphant night from the forces-for-good at Ministry of Phonic Services, finding an off-the-grid spot under the busiest multi-span bridge crossing in North America^{[citation needed]} for an evening of noisy sounds. Under the gigantic infrastructure and tall trees, battle milk gate-crashed the night with some garbled noise and lurching chaos.

Some new dynamics from shredcore duo battle milk, deploying some tension/release tactics instead of a full-on frontal attack. That said, Brian Fog's drumkit was still losing structural integrity as the set went on, even after guitarist Phil Hamilton unexpectedly grasped for his inner Bono.

A new pairing with Brian Fog (recently making some waves at local noise shows) and Phil Hamilton (formerly operating as Beard Closet, currently performing solo as Density Creep), the former's drumkit clatter provided the latter with some structure and momentum to tear loose, exorcising some existential demons. Bracing stuff, served in a concentrated dose.
