Bardo

Released on February 27, 2015, Bardo is a nine-track album by the rock band BEAST. The album is a definitive showcase of the band's signature dual-bass attack, a structural choice that sets them apart from typical garage rock and noise rock acts. By eschewing traditional guitar-dominant arrangements in favor of two interlocking, heavily distorted bass guitars, the band crafts a unique sonic profile characterized by a massive, rumbling low-end and a raw, visceral atmosphere. The track listing, opening with Healer and closing with Down, maps out a relentless, high-energy arc that maintains a live, unpolished basement-show aesthetic throughout. Musically, the album balances the aggressive, fast-paced energy of tracks like Are We Alive? with the darker, more atmospheric weight of pieces like Vesica Piscis and Black Hole, demonstrating a cohesive but dynamic approach to noise-textured rock.
