Dominick Fernow has made his most accomplished music as Vatican Shadow. It's more focused than his work as Prurient, and more immediate than his records as Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement. With Remember Your Black Day, his first full-length as Vatican Shadow, Fernow has begun to explore the true depths of the project.
In the past three years, Vatican Shadow—the techno racket of Prurient mastermind Dominick Fernow—has released more than a dozen aesthetically coherent cassettes, EPs and singles. On Remember Your Black Day, however, the meticulously upheld image of Vatican Shadow starts to feel more rigorous than the music itself.
