What does it sound like?:
Merzbow and Whitehouse meet John Carpenter. In other words, dark cinematic melodies with screaming and power electronics thrown in. Sometimes it’s just the power electronics. Sometimes it’s just the dark ambience. But the best tracks, like the opener, Myth Of Building Bridges, combine the two.
What does it all *mean*?
Aaaarrrrggghhh!
Goes well with…
Emptying rooms.
Release Date:
Might suit people who like…
The idea of a Wolf Eyes and Haxan Cloak team-up

I have missed you 🙂
That sounds great, and I see it’s on Spotify so I’ll investigate later.

My copy arrived at work today. I will be spending my free time this weekend sitting in the dark with headphones on.
James Blast says
Sorry Pop, you lost me at Merzbow and Whitehouse. Heinous, bogus, noise for noise’s sake IMO.
James Blast says
Hell! I was doing well with tracks 1 and 2, then 3 kicked in. Bleaurgh!!!
Poppy Succeeds says
Based on that, I wonder if you’d like Vatican Shadow.
It’s another project of Prurient man Dominick Fernow – mainly dark ambient, with an industrial bent. Like an even bleaker Demdike Stare.
James Blast says
Track 6. Jester in Agony is really ace, I’ll investigate further.
A big Thankee! Poppy 😀
James Blast says
… and Shoulders of Summerstones is def my style.
Tiggerlion says
That’s not Niagara Falls. That looks like a lady wearing Native American costume.
Seriously great review, Poppy! You have been sorely missed. I spent my money on the other ne.
James Blast says
You have a DM from me Poppy ;D
Kid Dynamite says
@poppy-succeeds seen this Dominick Fernow mix on FACT?

I know he’s always been a busy lad, but there’s stuff here from records that I didn’t even know existed.
