Transient are a band from Portland, Oregon that plays a very fast, heavy and brutal form of crust/grind and this is a review of their self titled 2013 album which was released by Six Weeks Records.
"Bottom Feeder" starts off with heavy blast beats, brutal guitar riffs and high pitched screams which speed up after awhile while also slowing down towards the end.
"Goad" starts off with a powerful bass line, before the blast beats, fast grindcore riffs and screams kick in going into a faster direction while also utilizing a brief use of slow breakdowns.
"False Philanthropy" starts off with a slow grindcore riff and powerful drumming before getting faster and brutal with a mixture of deep death metal growls and high pitched screams while also slowing down for only a few seconds.
"Narcissus Nemesis" starts off with blast beats, fast grindcore riffs, and high pitched screams while also mixing in hardcore break downs and slow parts at times.
"Sustain The Yoke" starts off with slow drums, guitar riffs and high pitched screams before speeding up and adding in blast beats as w ell as the switches back and forth between the slow and fast parts.and towards the end a powerful bass line makes its presence known.
