Old Tower

Draconic Synthesis

Hospital Productions

***A sinister blend of past, present and future old tower atmospheres, instrumentation and some seductively destructive surprises secure a place in the canon of dark music. The travels of the dragon's disciples have taken them to vast forests of mystery and somber castles hidden away between the stars and celestial mysteries. There was much to unravel that which was learned during these excursions into the dark and the first of veils has been lifted, giving an entrance into the complex mind of the horned serpent. "It rears its scaly head around a black granite column, its eyes penetrating the dust that coats the remnants of a forgotten dungeon. Its scales are adorned with ancient writings and strange symbolism, carefully inscripted by the architects that built the connection between firmament and souls. Its spirit is one of knowledge and arrogance, letting its dreams woefully tear into the fabrics of reality...." Expansive presentation on black vinyl in deluxe jacket with insert. Digital download code included.

Raspberry Bulbs

The World Is Empty, The Heart Is Full

Hospital Productions

***12 years after Hospital Productions released the first Raspberry Bulbs album, the band returns to the label with their most focused offering to date. Gone are the interludes found on their last two albums. This time RB has distilled all their strengths into 11 concise songs. Listeners may be tempted to mention "noise rock" or "post punk" in describing the sound, but RB thinks outside the limits of any genre, and stands in contrast to those whose approach amounts to failed exercises in style. The band spent two years boiling each song down to its essence, while sacrificing none of the power and dynamics found on previous records. Somehow the results are both more metallic and more melodic. The vocals, in particular, are fittingly more venomous this time, with their vitriol aimed at the current narrow-minded, oppressive "underground" landscape. Prepare yourself. Recorded among the ruins of the Belvedere Inn, Stamford New York, in 2023. Digital download code included.

Masonna / Prurient

Annihilationism

Hospital Productions

***Years in the making, Annihilationism is a split full-length of brand new material of "harshtronics and exclamation" from Japan's Masonna and "doom electronics" by America's Prurient. Arranged in alternating sequence with one track from each artist until burning annihilation. Mastered by Kris Lapke. Includes two-sided poster and download code.

Old Tower

The Old King Of Witches

Hospital Productions

***The masterful new album from Old Tower. Traditional and yet alien, the deconstruction of regression as transformation from man to beast, which conceptually was felt throughout the project's wanderings but steps forth fully from the shadows on The Old King of Witches. Shaving down to the bone and trimming the fat of the carcass to incant without rest and without resolution, Old Tower resurrects the dying breed of dark ambient with '90s deep electronics to conceive of a new breed of dark music. The most pure form of Old Tower always reaches for fictional reality and time stasis. Conceptually on The Old King of Witches you follow "a stranger" who enters a derelict domain, full of old and rotten pine trees, scattered rocks overgrown with dark green moss and strange reclusive inhabitants. Some of these inhabitants are witches who worship the ancient evil that roams this place. Through the use of forbidden magic, they slowly pull the "stranger" deeper into their forest world and we follow him on this journey through the woods, caverns, fields, and groves of this mysterious land. The Old King is the ruler of this land. Not a physical manifestation, but a symbol for the attraction of the mysterious and the dark. A place where the new comes to die, and the old tends to thrive. If you are lost, fall back on what is old and familiar, to find that new energy in places you have not visited in a while or never visited at...

Old Tower

Grim Alchemy

Hospital Productions

***The alchemic trilogy has finally been concluded. The cauldron is frothing in full force. These recordings were originally presented on three separate EPs, each showing a different side from the project. From lo-fi dungeon explorations to medieval astral projections, this collection offers a wide variety of sounds and stories for your nightly inner explorations or journeys into the vast, cold unknown. To complete the full experience, additional unreleased recordings have been added to this collection under the name of Waldgeistär , delivering all the ingredients needed for this intoxicating potion. The blood of the dragon, the black streams, the ashes of souls, and the ghosts from the woods. Drink the darkness, and listen to dark music.

Old Tower

Plague Harvest

Hospital Productions

***Originally issued as a cassette EP, Plague Harvest encrypts the further transformation into pure dark ambience. Field recordings yanked from the trees like dead leaves mix with streams of electronics running beneath the soil. Included also is a bonus 10" of Ruination, The New Dawn Cometh , which was previously only available digitally, exposing again a precursor and foreshadowing of this cautionary tale that what sustains life can easily grow to smother it. Yellow paper jacket invokes the spirit of the original dead cassette.

Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement

Jellyfish Reproduce Black Magic

Hospital Productions

***Jellyfish Reproduce Black Magic is the companion EP to the Flying Fish Ambience album by Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement. The nature of a "permanent record" whether digital or encrypted in the fossilized remains of evolutionary anthropomorphic species or "economic DNA" left behind only further supersedes "artificial reality" of environmental imprints. The alternative "occult economy" is both reproducing and perpetuating a lethal lifeforce. The essential premise of rainforest remains "artificial spaces" and "synthetic nature" where superstition and fantasy meet, collide, and decay. The moment one discovers that they themselves are the monuments and ruins at the journey's end destination.

Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement

Flying Fish Ambience

Hospital Productions

***The Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement environs conceived by Dominick Fernow and Philippe Hallais complement "artificial spaces" and "synthetic nature" through the decay of "digital rain storms" and "falling comet bass drops". Flying Fish Ambience is the duo's first studio album together after a series of tours, and builds the RSE sound into a deep hypnotic synthetic topography and guided meditation into perpetual stress. The follow-up to the acclaimed Ambient Black Magic, Flying Fish Ambience is a treatise in anti-exotica—a purpose-built artificial ambient wilderness rooted in wobbling sub-bass, watered wastefully with glossy digital FX. Meticulously assembled over a series of trips, tours and sessions in various cities (Berlin, Paris, New York), Flying Fish Ambience crystallizes the expansive perpetual motion of salt vessels and water basins repopulating with ecological imbalance, this evolution—as an expression of the live blue entity.

Painjerk

Mission Invisible - Kill The Poor

Hospital Productions

Hospital Productions announce the unreleased, would-be-classic from Japanese noise hero Painjerk. Originally recorded immediately after the canonical Gallon Gravy classic, this is pure-—definitive—loop-heavy noise energy and dynamism that would become the signature of Kohei Gomi's electronic studies having influenced two generations of underground electronics since. Hailing from a background of Japanese punk, Kohei Gomi stayed true to the fierce ethos of independence and experimentation that reached its peak in Japan in the late '90s. But make no mistake, Mr. Gomi never stagnated into a single platform, having worked with such diverse labels as Alternative Tentacles, Relapse, Editions Mego, and so on. Composed with a mysterious configuration of constantly flowing noise hardware—always recorded live without overdubs, Gomi went on to risk taking computer explorations into the roots of avant-garde compositions inspired by the likes of Pan Sonic and David Tudor. Having reached cult status and maintaining an air of mystery after an onslaught of now classic and highly collectible tape-only releases, such as the monstrous Cacophony Of A Thousand Pleasures 3xCS which was been cited as an influence for Mika Vainio. Never settling for stale genre collaborations, Kohei Gomi further went on to such divergent ends as the insane collaboration with Russell Haswell, psychedelic commune pioneers Smegma, and power violence royalty Bastard Noise. Hospital Productions now unleash this critical document onto the world, one that 20 years on can easily sit alongside the classics of its day. Raise a fist in solidarity for the inimitable punk noise of Painjerk. Double-LP wide...

Moran, Kelly / Prurient

Chain Reaction At Dusk

Hospital Productions

Originally initiated for the Merzbow, Kelly Moran, Prurient USA tour (representing three generations of heavy electronics), this archival recording is finally released as 'Chain Reaction At Dusk'.  Moran and Prurient first met in 2018 in support of electronic music luminary Oneohtrix Point Never at his legendary debut of 'Myriad' at the Park Avenue Armory. The two bonded over an unlikely composite of piano, drone and noise synthesis (Moran from John Cage, while early Prurient tapes cut-up Erik Satie). A leader in the realm of prepared piano, Kelly Moran quickly drew attention for her massive and seamlessly complex juxtapositions of plucked icy melodic sequences and deep sub bass compositions, culminating in a stunning 2018 LP, 'Ultraviolet' for Warp Records.  With 3-tracks of continuous intertwining melodic tension, Moran continues her juxtaposition of crystalline single note attacks upon a bed of massive low end prepared drones.  Shattering genre, Moran culls from a broad palate of classical, post-minimalism, ambient and other forms to free the piano from convention pushing high and low frequencies through electronic pairing and coupling. Recorded at her home in fall 2018, Moran’s split side showcases the composer’s prepared piano treated with delays and granular synthesis over a heavy wash of droning, arpeggiating synthesizers. Similarly, Prurient returns with a side parallax-view vocal barrage complimentary to Moran’s fractal modes. Composed at Guy Brewer's (Shifted) former Berlin studio, Fernow accessed a cache of pristine analog synthesizers and sequencers while finishing the process with Kris Lapke in New York with layers...

E-Saggila

Corporate Cross

Hospital Productions

E-Saggila - an enigmatic cult producer in electronics constructing soaring calm from dynamic turbulence as the era of domesticated destruction and creation arrives. Conceived by Iraqi-born, Canadian sound artist Rita Mikhael, E-Saggila has quickly established itself as an unapologetic presence in superseding divisionism in underground music. With prior crucial releases on Northern Electronics and BANK Records, the project quickly gained attention among the disparate factions of noise, breakcore, and infrastructure rising outside of the traditional european club superstructure. After delivering a commanding and highlight performance at the 2019 Hospital Fest, E-Saggila forged an alliance with Hospital Productions and now presents her label debut Corporate Cross, an intricate multifaceted double album that requires introspection with its wide spectrum of emotion, coldness and light that defies definition. Combining elements of breakcore, ambient, contemporary composition and twisted rhythms, the album provides a deep headphone listen that can function both as elemental elevation or wreck any club system. Heavy cut-up bass is immediate and but never overrides detailed abstract melodic hooks. E-Saggila creates music that coexists on the dance-floor, the car stereo and the bedroom bookshelf speakers, simultaneously and seamlessly. Written and produced by E-Saggila, the composer took inspiration from social anthropologist Mary Douglas, particularly in regards to her concepts of “dirt” which associates dirt as a form of disruption to order. E-Saggila takes this concept in compressed surreal washes of melodic noise and merciless drum building hierarchy deconstruction.

Female

Pleasures That Kill

Hospital Productions

a key component of the 1990s birmingham techno sound, and co-founder of the downwards label, female's music is as important for everything it doesn't tell you as it is for the pummeling rhythms it forces you to engage with. one of the few remaining examples of an artist with a palpable sense of mystique, female conjures a world that evokes film noir, or even something out of a Burroughs story. the language of this music will be familiar to those who listen to "dance music", but the bare building blocks are often all we get. development within these tracks is subtle, and it's the sense that something is being held back that gives the music its power. the forceful minimalism of these tracks creates a narrative that, when combined with their titles and the visual imagery of the sleeves, is at once immediate and yet feels almost impenetrable. this tension is what makes the music so invigorating. It's as if we're hearing blocks of sound carved out from larger monoliths that have no beginning or end. This music is an aural equivalent to an act of voyeurism, or the fear of seeing something horrific we shouldn't have seen. brutal and repetitive, it recalls a distant time and place, yet somehow escapes the confines of linear time and sounds fresh today. this comprehensive box set places female in the same spotlight as luminary figures regis and surgeon. these sides are no less important and their simplicity is deceptive. female, with all...

Orphx

Fragmentation

Hospital Productions

Fragmentation was the third full-length album from Orphx, originally released in 1996 on the legendary Malignant Records label. Rich Oddie, Christina Sealey, and Aron West had founded the project three years earlier, creating pitch black noisescapes inspired by early industrial music and the extreme fringes of metal. By 1996, West had departed to focus on his absurdist noise project Tropism, while Oddie and Sealey began to push Orphx in a more rhythmic direction. Cassette releases on their own Xcreteria imprint (reissued by Hospital Productions and Mannequin Records in 2017) quickly attracted the attention of Malignant Records, who offered to release the next album. Fragmentation was made using the same basic tools as the early cassettes: contact microphones, scrap metal, effects pedals, feedback circuits, a drum machine, a couple of synths, and location recordings and found sounds manipulated by Sealey on reel to reel machines and an 8-bit sampler. While early Orphx recordings were primarily improvised direct to tape, this album places much greater emphasis on carefully constructed layers of sound, shaping their improvisational energy into powerful compositions that combines death industrial atmospheres and brutal power electronics with relentless, hypnotic percussion. Themes of illness, infection, and psychopathology dominate the album but are intertwined with references to transcendence, suggesting a desperate search for salvation in the midst of social / psychological disintegration. The Fragmentation reissue on Hospital Productions includes the original album, now remastered by Joshua Eustis (Telefon Tel Aviv), and over an hour of additional rarities and previously unreleased recordings.

Industrialized Criminals History

Hospital Productions

Linekraft creates a stunning and surprising twist of ultra minimal and cinematic japanese 80’s metal-man machine music with superb and memorable programmed sequences and barrel and iron bar percussion. dealing with the controversial tokyo war crimes tribunals as the artist reflects (‘a turning point of humans trying to control history, life and death and fork in the road industrialized cold war world -or- human animal kingdom.’). Epic and contemplative compositions with the strange and down trodden vibe of kurosawa blended with the tetsuo soundtrack mangled with the violence of metal junk hell that the artist has centered his actions around. a truly standout release of industrial chaos.

Guilt Attendant

Suburban Scum

Hospital Productions

***NATHANIEL YOUNG, aka GUILT ATTENDANT, lives and works in NYC, where he also produces music under the monikers HOFMANN, KOHL, MORAL EXTRICATION, and RICHARD P., and runs the Severed Mercies and Blankstairs platforms for art and music alongside his design duties for Dais and Hospital Productions among many other publications and labels. Suburban Scum is his devilishly detailed debut of girder-strength techno for Hospital Productions, forged in the image of late '90s hard techno and reverberating strongly with prevailing trends. It's inspired and informed by the artist's deeply held urge to undo the dogma instilled by his religious Christian upbringing. and, as such, it expresses a sense of free will within the context of Satan's fall from grace, fully grasping techno's repetitive excess as a potential path to hedonism, freedom and other ungodly matters. Recorded between 2016-2019, the eight tracks of Suburban Scum find Guilt Attendant in cold control of his agency. While they may possibly make crowds consider their own relationship to god, especially in his use of sampled sermons by his former preacher that crop up throughout, and most strikingly on the closing "Severe Mercy," the majority are more likely to make dancers slam the walls and trample a hole in the 'floor. Firmly modeled in the image of classic Regis, Silent Servant, Steve Bicknell, Adam X, Ancient Methods.

Cortini, Alessandro

Risveglio

Hospital Productions

***2020 repress; gatefold double-LP version. Though known as a touring and recording musician associated with NINE INCH NAILS, ALESSANDRO CORTINI has really come into his own via his Forse trilogy, and his 2014 Hospital Productions debut, Sonno. For his Hospital follow-up, he maintains the grittiness and intimacy introduced on his debut, but expands on it, offering a wider spectrum of emotion and depth. Like Sonno, Risveglio was written and recorded while on tour. The drive to create intimate works during late-night downtime reveals Cortini to be committed to a personal vision beyond the call of duty. While Sonno was created using only a 202 and delay, Risveglio adds a TB303, synced to the 202. In Cortini's words, "The 303 can be such a haunting instrument used in a certain way, and I felt it completely fit the mood of the previous work I have done on the 202, especially when given a specific location in space... it's such a living instrument." The addition of TR606 gives one of the pieces a rhythmic pulse that separates it from the preceding synthscapes and renders Risveglio an altogether more dynamic affair than Sonno. With Risveglio, Cortini emphasizes the imperfections and visceral textures of electronics absent from so much contemporary solo synthesizer music. He carves out a similar space to that formed by Kevin Drumm's releases for Hospital in the worlds of drone and noise by finding the emotional and, ultimately, human voice within synthesis.

Cortini, Alessandro

Sonno

Hospital Productions

***2020 repress; gatefold double LP version. ALESSANDRO CORTINI is best known as the lead electronics performer in NINE INCH NAILS' live unit. His recordings under his own name have gained prominence in recent years and he has become known as one of the pre-eminent Buchla masters in North America. Cortini makes a surprising departure into the 202 on his debut album for Hospital Productions—Sonno . Sonno was recorded in hotel rooms, using a Roland MC 202 through a delay pedal, recorded direct, sometimes into a small portable speaker system. "I liked to walk around the room with a handheld recorder to hear where the sequence would sound better, turn on faucets, open doors or windows to see how the ambient sounds would interact with the MC 202/delay/speaker sound. It was very relaxing and liberating to make music this way." The result is a beautifully restrained yet oddly emotive album that's quite distinct from the overly academic approach so often undertaken by hardware-driven devotees. Mastered by MATT COLTON.

Incapacitants

Stupid Is Stupid

Hospital Productions

***Hospital Productions present a reissue of INCAPACITANTS'' Stupid Is Stupid, originally released in 1993. In 1993, founding fathers of Japan noise T. MIKAWA and F. KOSOKAI revealed Stupid Is Stupid, one of the most classic titles to emerge from the criminally underrated and revered Incapacitants. A seminal document already over a decade into the duo's unrelenting path of pure chaos after their formation in 1981, Stupid Is Stupid was released as a double cassette on the equally influential Sounds For Consciousness Rape label from France. Divided into studio materials and live materials oddly from two performances at the same venue on two different years. Beyond the massive frequency exploration and freedom of the sounds this set revealed dramatic documentation of the projects history, performances, and influence as shown in the form of color live photos pasted into the metal wire and mesh encased booklet where one can feel the physical energy just from the ravaged and ecstatic face and contorted bodies of the two doing the business. Presented in a wide spine slipcase cover with obi strip; includes large format two-sided color poster that no incapacitants worshipper's home can continue without, alongside full-size comic book and insert card.

Slogun

The Pleasures Of Death

Hospital Productions

***Hospital Productions present a reissue of SLOGUN's The Pleasures of Death, originally released in 1997. From the austere and frightening cover with the name of forgotten killers to the monolithic washes of analog synthesized grit and dust cloud vocals of the id, this legendary album first released as a limited cassette of 100 on the cult Labyrinth Recordings from NYC (one of the all-time great NYC cassette imprints) and then famously reissued to wide distribution via cold meat industry sublabel Death Factory, The Pleasures of Death came to prominence in the minds of the same era of release entertainment and descent magazine and Alchemy Records and Bloodlust. Never has there been such an in-depth, caustic, intelligent and evil exploration of true crime violence. Slogun has managed to take familiar stories, untangle them and create deep profiles that leave the listener with unsettling conclusions that do not provide the answers we are commonly forced to accept. Set against the decline of America, the abstraction of the victim landscape is shattered with the brutal and disturbing lyrics faithfully reprinted. A classic of NYC radical art and true crime electronics. Wide spine sleeve; includes large-format booklet and poster taken from the original cassette version.

Masonna

Shinsen Na Clitoris

Hospital Productions

***Hospital Prodcutions present a reissue of MASONNA's first full-length CD from 1990, Shinsen Na Clitoris, originally on Vanilla Records. The supreme voice of Japanese noise here on vinyl for the first time with audio preparation by KRIS LAPKE. What would become an inimitable explosion of energy and vision from Japan heralded in the glory days of '90s alternative rock, death metal, and psychedelic synth music, Masonna surpassed all extremes with a full frequency violence that was as fast as it was psychedelic. Not once has any artist emerged with more intensity and focus in the history of noise. It was said onstage that Masonna has reduced the pure elements of classic rock, the guitar stack, the feedback, and the lead singer to an explosive few seconds of visceral feedback, metallic noise from the physical shaking and pressure of his fist around the shaker, processed through the self-described "harshtronics" and indeed ending in "exclamation!" If you have wondered where to start in the vast and increasingly difficult to find discography of this legend look no further. Presented in immaculate sleeve recreated original art with poster and insert.

Smell & Quim

Cosmic Bondage

Hospital Productions

***Hospital Productions present a reissue of SMELL & QUIM's Cosmic Bandage, originally released in 1995 on their notorious Stinky Horse Fuck imprint. Cosmic Bondage stands as a monument to the universal perversion inside us all. Birthed into the world with an auto-asphyxiated doll complete with toy packaging and overgrown pubic hair in an edition of 100, despite its limitation the material within has become a staple of the groups live performances to this day. The dark humor enforced by truly masterful concrete noise and arrangements that sit alongside the best of the English electronic and avant-garde visionaries serves as a cautionary tale to the misinterpreted dualist literalism of where we are today. Enormous textures are turned inside out, to the howl and psychosis of British voices that can only be from the north of England and a cacophony of intricate and present adult loops that never let you relax into them and are always cut to engage one out of their lethargy. After Cosmic Bondage, we are all from the North of England. Packaged in wide spine sleeve with deluxe starry slipcase.

we are proud to present the debut album from anjilla who is one half of autoerotichrist. a startling and confrontational document of sheer noise textures from the immortal corpse or the corpse you can’t get rid of. the unstable and disturbing currents of riverbed noise clattering across the rocks of silt cliffs bubble up before receding again down the reverse side of the waterfall. super crushing heavy electronics - ophelia has risen from the creek and will bring shame to her admirers. be sure not to miss moonbeam terror this year at hospital fest 12/7 in nyc!

Ramirez, Richard

Amplified Tactics

Hospital Productions

Amplified Tactics collects four segments of live performances from Texas and Mexico in 1999, rolling back to an era when live noise shows were isolated mysterious affairs or opportunities to infiltrate mundane society via bars, tea shops, art galleries, youth centers, and goth clubs. RICHARD RAMIREZ is one of the first and last standing harsh noise originators from the Texan deserts and humid turf that would spawn some of the most influential and dirtiest units to ever grace the Xeroxed pages of zines ranging from industrial to grindcore. Having touched all the most essential noise imprints of his time (Tesco Organization, Praxis Dr. Bearmann, Release, Membrum Debile Propaganda, MSBR, Self Abuse Records, Mother Savage, etc.), Ramirez continues to define "fetish" in noise. Since the application of live recordings was a cornerstone of the artist's studio process these live sessions are as wide ranging, fluid and climactic as any proper "studio" releases from the vast library of SM noise that Mr. Ramirez has explored on the eve of 30 years of existence. If you're looking for an entry point to probe the inner working of Ramirez's most iconic visions of noise, Amplified Tactics is essential with its saturated ripping and wild envelopes. Edited from the original 2xCDr originally released in an edition of 50. Housed in a deluxe wide spine foil block jacket with large format newsprint poster; Edition of 300.

Skin Crime

Traveller On The Road

Hospital Productions

****Regarded by Dominik Fernow as the "best US noise project in terms of texture and composition", SKIN CRIME return to Hospital Productions with an immanent inversion of noise convention exploring ideas of tense, slow-burn patience instead of aggressive intensity. Brutally active between the early '90s and mid '00s, Skin Crime took a 12-year hiatus until 2016 and the bloodshed of their instantly sold-out, 20xCD boxset of archival material. That same year they also issued Ghosts I Have Been, a crushingly bleak album inspired by Japanese mythology and ghost stories which have paved the way for this new one, where the band's PATRICK O'NEIL and MARK JAMESON continue to refine their instincts into the dankest brand of organic ambient noise. In key with their ghostly Japanese muse, specifically the Bakaneko (1968) or Ghost Cat movies of the '50s and '60s, as well as the writing of Lafcadio Hearn, aka Koizumi Yakumo, the author of Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things (1904)—Skin Crime's music in Traveller on the Road is all about presence and the suggestibility of hypnagogic and half-awake states. Their cold-fingered sleight of hand is applied to exceedingly fine layers of textural enigma in long, unbroken tracts that hold the listener's gaze with frightening power. Pressed on clear vinyl.

Vatican Shadow

Kuwaiti Airforce

Hospital Productions

“Back at the start of this decade the underground conversation between noise, techno and ambient music manifested definitively thru Vatican Shadow’s eerily evocative glut of tape releases for Hospital Productions in a manner that resonated with the subversive post-industrial music of Muslimgauze and Whitehouse - who were both key touchstones for Dominick Fernow (Prurient, Vatican Shadow, Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement).  The ‘Kuwaiti Airforce’ tape which lends this set its title was only available in an edition of 25 copies at Vatican Shadow’s September 29, 2012 show in LA with Silent Servant, Demdike Stare, Andy Stott, and Kangding Ray. Its two bombed-out blasts of rhythmic noise are now available on the first disc here for the first time, backed with two previously unreleased works written in 2012: a deep, rolling techno collaboration with Juan Mendez, lodged somewhere between his Silent Servant output styles for Sandwell District and the seminal ‘Negative Fascination’ LP; and a more messed-up, subbass-mired rework by Demdike Stare, who were still clearly in the mood surrounding their classic ‘Elemental’ LP.  The second disc however highlights cuts from earlier and more obscure releases, rounding up two powerful, even darkly romantic pieces of sturm und drang from 2010’s ‘Around The Dragon’s Broken Neck…’ 2 x cassette, plus his opiated half of a split with Contrepoison, and a cranky grinder that was only found on the ‘White Eye Of Winter Watching’ compilation, both issued by Hospital Productions in 2011.”—Boomkat

Washington Buries Al Qaeda Leader At Sea

Hospital Productions

***An exclusive and outstanding Regis collaboration appears on the third volume of vinyl premieres for VATICAN SHADOW's early and highly sought-after tapes, as originally dispensed in 2011 during the peak years of the War On Terror. Holding all six sides from 3x hard-to-find tape "deck" issues of Washington Buries Al Qaeda Leader At Sea, plus the previously digital-only track "He Ambled Down The Dirt Road For Visits To A Market" and the aforementioned Regis exclusive; the third installment of the series definitively compiles Vatican Shadow's impressionistic take on a turning point in 21st century U.S. geopolitics.
