Prurient
Vezdekhod
This Collaboration between Prurient and Carlos Casas is an hommage to the classic Russian tank: Vezdekhod, an all terrain tank that is the only way of transport for most of Siberia. From the Field recordings captured by Carlos Casas, Prurient created and constructed these solid musical masses. An audiovisual experiment on the crossover of documentary and sound exploration.

The History of Aids
Available for the first time on vinyl, Dominik Fernow presents his f*cked-up masterpiece 'The History Of Aids' on his own Hospital Productions label. Noise fiends should need no introduction to this guy, this album, or this label, but those of you in the dark you should be aware that this New York-based label has released some of the very best albums of recent years, counting Kevin Drumm's 'Imperial Distortion' and Cold Cave's 'Cremations' among them. Fernow also plays in the live line-up…
Stars Explode
When Cold Cave embarked on their first UK tour in 2009 one of the most sought after pieces of merchandise was an exclusive split release with Prurient limited to just 100 copies on Cassette. Hospital Productions have mercifully pressed up the tracks from the tape - plus one additional cut exclusive to this LP to satisfy the vinyl vulture's appetite. In stark comparison to the glam-electro melancholy of 'Love Comes Close', this is a collection of incredible bleak and isolated dark ambience…
Adam Tied To Stone
If there's one person I revere when talking about noise it's Dominick Fernow, better known to the shadowy corners of the noise world as Prurient. There's something about his approach to the sound which for me puts him at the top of the tree, forcing music that could easily be simple, throwaway distorted jams into so much more. His last full length album proper 'Pleasure Ground' cemented this for me as Fernow buried layer upon layer of woozy synthesizer melody beneath his token screams and distor…
Rose Pillar
180 Page Hardcover Book with 11" Record, featuring Kevin Drumm. What separates Dominick Fernows Prurient project from the rest of the contemporary underground cannon is its unyielding personal subject matter. From the inception of Prurient the concept has always utilized intimate details, photographs, letters and other ephemera culled from places where most artists would choose to obscure. Prurient draws these details into focus more than ever on Rose Pillar, a 180-page hardbound book of Fernows…
Arrowhead
Brooklyn noise herald and Hospital Productions label-head, Dominick Fernow presents his first release for the Editions Mego label. Fernow has been an active instigator in the power electronics and noise genre for well over a decade, with 100+ releases issued so far, usually limited and covering all known formats. Known in particular for his harrowing live performances where he uses his voice, amps, microphones, coins, tools, suitcases etc., to create a brain-bashing journey through mangled, nega…
All Are Guests In The House Of The Lord
With so damn many records pouring out, there are precious few artists who strain against sagging shelves and actually merit the “must hear” designation. One of them for me is Kevin Drumm. Widely known “guitarist” and relentless disassembler of technique, expression, and expectation, Drumm has recorded seminal solo records (first on Perdition Plastics, then the epochal Sheer Hellish Miasma), tussled in some notable duos (with, for example, RLW with Ralf Wehowsky), and even shown up to upend some …
And Still, Wanting
A tale of lost love and desperation, this is prurient's full length follow up to the acclaimed Pleasure Ground. And Still, wanting takes the recent new direction of combining layered synth's and electronic loops with his usual poignant vocals to a whole new level of intensity. A new chapter in obsession with all that is mundane in our human life. This special 1000 copies first edition of the CD comes with a bonus 5' vinyl titled 'Shield' with tracks that won't be available anywhere else + 12 pag…
Black Vase
7th album from noise maker extraordinaire who attacks 2 large amplifiers w/2 microphones swirling into the invisible electro-magnets fields around the amps. His masterwork of harshness that feat. drums in addition to his wailing subsonic shit fest.
The Black Post Society
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. Black industrial / power noise from this highly respected US act!
Pleasure Ground
As the dust settles and your tinnitus roars back to life, you wonder about Prurient. Last ear blast on Load, Black Vase went for the jugular from the git go with sporadic percussion and piercing square toned filthy noise. Just the thing for a rough day during a U.S.-sponsored war. This time out, Pleasure Ground oozes with a new shade of grey from the crayon set. A new dark waved sensibility takes hold. The seconds after a corpse appears on a riverbank, and the 'what the fuck am I gonna do' slips…
