In parallel to his Vatican Shadow project, Christian Cosmos has emerged as one of Dominick Fernow's most compelling monikers. The third transmission from his Bed Of Nails imprint yields four intensely gloomy stations in this mode, revolving around a cryptic, as-yet-unresolved agenda borrowing from industrial techno, petrifying synth soundtrack elements and meditative noise clangour with a rudimentary but deeply affective gnosticism. He engages with glowering clarity on 'The Angular Positions of His Father' where sorrowful strings sweep a desolate, martial drum trill and bass drones that liquify at our feet. 'The Angular Positions Of His Ghost' follows, engaging a dread-filled atmosphere with stone-cutting drum machine patterns and guilty synth noise. 'The Angular Positions of His Crown' is possibly the most potent, cold striking the same nerve left raw by his most chilling Vatican Shadow moments, while 'The Angular Positions of His Cross' leaves us hanging in looped torpor, sounding like Muslimgauze having a crisis of faith.

"Another 'soundtrack for the judgement of souls' as Dominick Fernow puts it. The men behind the Prurient/Vatican Shadow projects is making some uncomfortably affective releases as Christian Cosmos with a sort of baroque machine noise like beacons of oncoming doom spread across the curent musical landscape. On this issue, pulverized machine rhythms crawl under plangent, near-black metal guitars until a resolution of redemptive meditation on 'The Old Creation Has Been Imbued With A New Dimension Of Spirit'. But it's the incredibly dank chamber atmospheres of 'And A New Creation Has Begun', or the marrow-freezing ambience of 'God Has Entered So Fully Into The Human Experience That Everything Has Changed' which most grab our attentions partly thanks to that petrified mastering finish. So good."--Boomkat

"Dominick Fernow's (Prurient/Vatican Shadow) Christian Cosmos project is quickly establishing itself as a vital concern for darker tastes. The third release under this alias in less than six months 'Which Echo Again and Again' returns us to a bleak scene with a "soundtrack for judgement of souls", as he puts it. Brittle, minimal drum machine rhythms ricochet against sepulchral surfaces in a mystic ambient synth gloom, creating the perfect atmosphere for personal rituals of undisclosed and esoteric nature. This is music for end times - so damn good."--Boomkat
