"Originally dropping on a sickeningly difficult to obtain cassette a few short years ago, ‘Time Began in a Garden’ is one of the finest of Dominick Fernow’s ‘rare’ releases, and also one of his most peaceful. Inhabiting the same nauseating ambient space as Hospital co-conspirator Kevin Drumm, Fernow takes the ‘Imperial Distortion/Horizon’ template and garnishes it with heaving environmental recordings, half-heard guitar and barely-audible vocals. There are times when the wavering sound almost transforms into a lullaby, drawing you in with hinted-at fragments of melody and harmony before spewing out a calcified froth of white noise. Dominick Fernow has already proved himself to be one of noise music’s most varied practitioners, and ‘Time Began in a Garden’ shows yet another side to his production. Miss it at your peril."--Boomkat

"Another absolutely crucial Vatican Shadow (aka prurient) cassette instalment transferred to digital. Dominik Fernow aka Prurient's releases in this guise are rapidly becoming some of our favourite work by this artist, sating a need for a sense of dystopian electronic despair which we just don't get from the more conventional operators in this realm. This one opens with the compressed steppers mechanics of 'Schwarzkopf Arc Of Triumph', sounding like some scuffed and f*cked AFX track circa the Joyrex series but with a subterranean New York torque, while 'Saddam Statue Conspiracy' could be a long lost Muslimgauze gem, all Middle Eastern melodic inferences and hypnotic, looping drum machines. Again, this is just unmissable."--Boomkat

"Dominik Fernow (Prurient) presents three of his most recent Vatican Shadow cassettes in one digital collection. On 'Washington Buries Al Qaeda Leader At Sea Deck 1-3' the music feels even more mournful, dubbed-out and somehow sleeker than it's predecessor 'Byzantine Private CIA', with more space and definition given to his sounds and rhythm programming, brilliantly sustaining the feeling of impending terror in a more subtle manner than he's most known for. And while they never quite fall into 'floor gratifying syncopation, there's also a dryly keener, stern sense of funk shared with the likes of his fellow New Yorker, Traversable Wormhole, that could work on certain 'floors. Highlights of this batch have to be the steam-pressed dub darkness of 'Bin Laden's Corpse', the richly bass-layered, steppin' Techno of 'Supplying The Compound With Food And Medicine' or the chilling, etheric vapours of 'He Ambled Down The Dirt Road For Visits To A Market', but simply the whole package is just a genuine must-have for any lovers of darkside electronics. Highly recommended."--Boomkat

***NOW AVAILABLE ON VINYL!!! Second full length. Eight songs of big bang black metal by DOMINIC FERNOW (PRURIENT, COLD CAVE, Hospital Productions) and KRIS KAPKE (ALBERICH, NORTHERN CROSS). Our comrades at Second Layer tell it like it is: "The duo blasts out raw and disgusting primitive black metal, with lots of balance between neck-breaking speed and lurking mid-tempo howl, with even some grind-ish elements for good measure."

The Black Post Society embraces and accepts the depression of not having anything left to hunt. The mask without a face to hold. The depression of the hunter after the deer is killed. It is better to be hungry than to have eaten. As fantasy shatters under the whip of reality, erotic malaise settles in the nest of the mind inverting this dormant fuel to rekindle the endless cycle of sexual chaos.

***Cocaine Death collects three of PRURIENT’s limited edition 10-minute cassettes—a triptych exploring the relationship between futile pleasure, substance and escape (escape being a myth): The original Cocaine Death c10 is based on the glamor and destruction of toxic nightlife, and features guest vocals from FFH); Caribbean Overdose explores a different but strangely direct topic of the sexual reproductive life of plants; Tylenol Murders expands on the sounds of others to further limits of cracked static, strained vocals and strange melodic loops. For the diehards, two unreleased tracks are included.

DOMINICK FERNOW's full length follow up to the acclaimed Pleasure Ground combines layered synths and electronic loops with his usual "poignant" vocals. A new level of intensity, a new chapter in the perpetual story of obsession with all that is mundane, a new power electronics paradigm.

***One of PRURIENT's most captivating raids on the borderlands of power noise and symphonic doom rears its furious head once again for this gatefold reissue on Hospital Productions, ten years on from its original release on double tape and then as a single vinyl pressing for Load Records in 2007. Pleasure Ground stands as a key part of Prurient's golden quadrant alongside The History Of Aids (2002), Black Vase (2005) and Cocaine Death (2008), its immolating rage renders IAN DOMINCK FERNOW at an early crest of his energies, consolidating the hi-pitch intensity and bile of his idols, Whitehouse, with the majestic, meditative inspirations of black metal and a more personalized bloodlust for unheimlich synth tones and pulsating electronic undercurrents. Its four long tracks are riven with the paradoxes that make Prurient's music so compelling and practically a genre unto itself, meting out a sound in "Earthworks / Buried In Secret" that's simultaneously nerve-gnawing yet bleakly tender, or weighing up caustic harshness with a melodic vulnerability in "Apple Tree Victim" that appeals far beyond the bombed-out no-man's land of pure noise to intersect with the entrails of EBM in the raging but poised thunder of "Military Road"—one of his finest moments, bar none—and cold-wave pop and fetishistic synth themes in "Outdoorsman / Indestructible." If you're willing to bite down, you will find a depth of bittersweet flavor submerged beneath the tidal waves of white noise filled with nuance and vulnerability, slowly dragging you into the abyss. Ultimately though, there's no mistaking...
