About

Dominick Fernow produced a daunting pile of Vatican Shadow cassettes, singles, and EPs before delivering <i>Remember Your Black Day</i>. And while many of those earlier offerings read like full-length records, he considers the project's latest release its first proper LP. Which makes perfect sense once the songs sink in; from the cauterized chords and wordless howls of "Enter Paradise" to the militaristic death march that drives the title track and "Not the Son of Desert Storm, but the Child of Chechnya," the eight-track effort is easily Fernow's most diverse yet. A mission statement, really, revealing his many influences—Aphex Twin, Muslimgauze, and Plastikman all have a role in the record's expansive universe—while making sure to establish Vatican Shadow's own take on the extreme/ambient ends of techno music. Now all we need is a similar state of the union from his other active aliases: Christian Cosmos, Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement, and Fernow's longtime noise guise, Prurient.
