Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement
Jungle Black Magic And Highlands Green Sorcery
Hospital Productions
***Released on vinyl for the time, Jungle Black Magic And Highlands Green Sorcery is the most substantial and disorientating release in the RAINFOREST SPIRITUAL ENSLAVEMENT vinyl series yet, clocking in at 40 minutes and deploying some of the most uncomfortably humid productions in DOMINCK FERNOW's arsenal. Jungle Black Magic marks the third in a series of first-time vinyl editions of early RSE material. It was originally released as a double cassette release in 2012 in an edition of 49. Stalking phantom apparitions and infrasonic illusions from the dankest sectors of his imagination, Fernow plays voodoo tricks on charred opener "The Case Of The Male Witch From Goroka"— a tropical downer underpinned by larger than life sub-bass rumblings and what sound like field recordings of YouTube rainforest nightscapes rendered in abstract, digital form. "The Verdict Handed Down By A Kangaroo Court" furthers trance induction with a more tribal alignment of drums, before "For The Next Three Days There Was An Eerie Silence In The Village" ends the set with a completely bewildering alignment of synthetic sounds designed to play tricks on your senses; somewhere between a dark meditation aid and a reworked soundtrack to Predator (1987)—the vibe exceptionally heatsick and paranoid. These pieces operate in paradoxical dimensions where the calls of exotic birds convey a denseness that's at odds with acres of negative space. It feels like standing in a deforested land at the edge of thick jungle, the effect is uncannily transportive; your mind constantly grappling with contrasting sensory triggers....

Negative Fascination is the first official full-length album from SILENT SERVANT. JUAN MENDEZ has achieved international acclaim as a DJ and is one of the founding producers of the infamous and highly-influential Sandwell District label. Long-time followers will feel the effects of a die cast over a decade of precision and dedication to underground minimalist electronic music. Mendez blends his previously-stated interpretations of early post-punk, filtered through the monolithic works of Basic Channel with his own progressively nihilistic vision of industrial music. He utilizes a relentless and uncompromising mastery of hard-as-nails sequencer techno combined with dystopian atmospherics filling the void. Negative Fascination bridges disparate factions on ideological grounds, regardless of sound in the age of mutation. Mastered and cut by MATT COLTON at Air Studios, London.

"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

"Compiling all three volumes of Lussuria's 'American Babylon', Hospital Productions have just unleashed one of the most terrifying pieces of dark ambient you'll hear all year. In fact, the ambient tag maybe sells this a little short; it's heavily atmospheric, in the most literal sense, but there's also encounters with industrial rhythms and sadistic black metal voices to anticipate from the comfort of your puddle of piss in the corner of the basement. Strong recommendation."--Boomkat

Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement
Fallen Leaves Camouflaged Behind Tropical Flowers
Hospital Productions
***Marking six years of RAINFOREST SPIRITUAL ENSLAVEMENT's cultish, elemental output, DOMINICK FERNOW gives the project's first ever release a vinyl pressing for the first time, coiling up two extended tracts of impure, unnatural gloom ranking amongst his most cherished works. Fallen Leaves Camouflaged Behind Tropical Flowers was originally released on tape in 2011 in an edition of 59. When RSE was first conceived with Fallen Leaves Camouflaged Behind Tropical Flowers in 2011, the project was shrouded in a veil of mystery which left many fiends guessing to its provenance—it seemed too far reduced to be identified as Fernow's work, but also didn't easily resonate with anyone of Hospital Productions' usual suspects, instead holding a unique line of stygian slow techno that sounded like some our bleakest, febrile fantasies come to life. Soon enough RSE's creator and navigator was indeed revealed to be Fernow, and the project became regarded among his most prized golems by those in the know, not least because it was starkly defined in contrast to his myriad other pseudonyms—VATICAN SHADOW, PRURIENT, CHRISTIAN COSMOS, FORCE PUBLIQUE CONGO, etc.—by dint of its perceived restraint and glowering minimalism. Perhaps because of that stringent, meditative asceticism, the hypnotic grip of RSE has remained undiminished and perhaps as strong as ever on this new vinyl edition, where the predator heartbeat and keening tonal groans of "Life Would Transform" sound more pensive and narcotically effective than ever, and the borderland industrial chug and clag of "Skull Covered In Moss" seems to be seated...

"With his stream of releases as Vatican Shadow, Dominick Fernow (aka Prurient) has isolated a sense of bruised technoid dystopia that's been largely missing in action in electronic music since the the early '90s releases of Aphex Twin. Since militarizing his sound on the 'Byzantine Private CIA' tape in 2010 (imminently due a 12" reissue thru Blackest Ever Black) with stark machine rhythms and cryptic FM synth camouflage, he's produced some of the most acutely evocative material in his decade-long recording history. By resorting to largely minimal, conservative means, accompanied by war-on-terror imagery and track titles seemingly sourced from a secret dossier, his bunkered sound has encapsulated the underlying fear and darkness of our epoch in a way few others have managed. One of the best releases in this phase, 'Kneel Before Religious Icons' was just begging for a vinyl pressing and Type Records have commendably responded to the call of duty. It's practically essential for the breathtaking, cinematic centrepiece 'Worshippers At The Same Mosque' alone, but factor in the bellicose, code red Techno of 'Church Of All Images' (due a Regis remix for BEB) and the unshakeable, shell-shocked sound-sphere of 'Chopper Crash Marines' Names Released', or the Terminator-esque 'Harbingers Of Things To Come' and it's no less than a must have for any serious followers of electronic music. So so good…"--Boomkat

Released first as a limited-edition quadruple-cassette box set, now condemned to vinyl. As part of the trinity of electronic projects where DOMINICK FERNOW of PRURIENT, examines anxiety and fear, lightning drums pound the rhythms for lost souls, trumpets of the heavens command the threshold, ancient notes and structures are scrambled and returned with information loss. Soundtrack for judgement of souls. Edition of 500.

***This is the second in a reissue series of DONICK FERNOW's early work as RAINFOREST SPIRITUAL ENSLAVEMENT, casting spells from the Green Amulet Crafts Supernatural Qualities (2011) tape onto vinyl for the first time and steadily closing the gap in your Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement collection. Something like the soundtrack to one of Ballard's prophetic visions of sunken cities, this second RSE incursion was initially released in an edition of 63 tapes in 2011 and found Fernow dwelling in a dread-fueled, paranoid headspace. Aesthetically, it forms an oblique inversion of PRURIENT's saturated noise assaults or a sort of chopped-and-screwed adjunct to VATICAN SHADOW, perhaps best located closest to his FORCE PUBLIQUE CONGO, but with fathoms more negative space and those full sunken sub base charges. Thsi is some of the dankest, most precious work in Fernow's sprawling catalog. Edition of 500.
