Vatican Shadow

A lot of the dark and brooding ambient industrial music from Dominick Fernow's Vatican Shadow project uses thematic imagery from the US's decades of imperialism and warmongering.  It's in the tones.  It's in the moods.  It's in the cover art.  The artist's latest effort draws its inspiration from SR-71 Blackbird warplane to quite haunting effect.  Check out "Twilight Nail in Its Coffin" below and get the "SR-71 Blackbird Survivors" album here via Hospital Productions.

Daily Jam - Cairo Is a Haunted City

Going with some moody, dark ambient techno for our listening purposes today.  For all you brooders out there, Vatican Shadow's "Cairo Is a Haunted City" is perfect music to brood to.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

 

Vatican Shadow

Dominick Fernow's Vatican Shadow project follows a much different path than his work as Prurient.  The noise and aggression are stripped away, leaving a backbone of processed industrial beats interwoven with somber and haunting synthetic sounds, hums, and textures.  What's left is something dark, ominous, brooding, and foreboding.  New album "Remember Your Black Day" uses the backdrop of the Iraqi occupation for mood and theme, which only serves to make the music all the more bleak.  Listen to the throbbing and hypnotic "Contractor Corpses Hung over the Euphrates River" below and get the album from Hospital Productions.
