Akitsa / Prurient
(Blasphemous Underground) Used Split LP $40.00
“Unstructured industrial noise elements with vocals that are shrill and penetrating, backed with violent harsh noise combined excerpts of classical violin.” From 2006
All Are Guests In The House Of The Lord
(Hospital - HOS201) CD $13.50 (Out-of-stock)
The first collaboration between Prurient and Kevin Drumm is one of the darker records in either artist’s discography. Prurient (Dominick Fernow) has toiled in the fields of noise for over a decade and has developed an increasingly dynamic output incorporating darkly arranged synths. Using source sounds of intense tonal drones supplied by Drumm, the two create a haunted atmosphere that is far removed from noise, exploring minimal junctures, using field recordings and clean, patient vocals to lead the way. Subtle electronic textures combine with near-cinematic arrangements.
Annihilationist
(Functional Organisation - FUNCTIONAL018) CD $16.50
A reworking of one of Prurient’s darkest works (originally released on cassette in 2011). Drones, industrial soundscapes, and ambient layers littered with noises and frightening ruptures. Abstract voices and gasps of air bubble to the top, perverse atonal bass tones swing back and forth.
Baron’s Chamber
(Nihilist) Used CD $15.00
“A throbbing slab of low-slung static and burnt out vocals,” observes Evol Kween The Musical. This single thirty-minute track from 2005 features “distinct ‘movements’ weighed down in a sludgy and hopeless atmosphere [where] washes of classical waltz drift in and out at odd intervals, creating a sentimental and kind of creepy contrast to the relentless fuzz…. Vocals take a back seat [sourced though they are from the writings of Jean Feraca], and are well disguised within everything else that’s going on.” Sealed
Blood of the Lamb
(BloodLust!) Used LP $60.00
Dark and menacing power electronics with harsh vocals. Strange and dissonant dark ambient soundscapes. Meandering noise excursions. Dirty and atmospheric. Silver-printed hand-cut folder cover. Numbered edition 12/100, with poster.
Cocaine Death
(Hospital - HOS232) Used CD $10.00 (Out-of-stock)
Cocaine Death is a 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): “Cocaine Death” 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 the others to further limits of cracked static, strained vocals and strange melodic loops. For the diehards, two unreleased tracks of Prurient are included. TEDIUM HOUSE BEST OF 2008.

Shipmaker's Diary
(Groundfault) Used CD $12.00 (Out-of-stock)
For those who have grown immune to regular dunkings in steaming cauldrons of hot tar and hydrochloric acid (as pleasant a homeopathic remedy for ailments of the skin as they may be), Dominick Fernow sloshes 33 minutes of unbelievably thorny, hard-scouring noise, adding a new chapter to the Total Pain, Instant Death playbook. Here, the high-concentration electronic defects of Wolf Eyes meet the stroboscopic rainbows of distorto-screech that the Load Records crowd takes their shirts off for.
