Vatican Shadow is the culmination of the prolific output of Dominick Fernow, the Hospital Records mastermind who is most known under his Prurient moniker. His vast breadth of his releases have progressed from harsh noise and power electronics to industrial, black metal, and in recent years, minimal techno. "Remember Your Black Day" finds Fernow fully realizing the aura of his Vatican Shadow project, with a sound that injects industrial techno with militaristic and religious themes, the result of which sounds like it could have been the soundtrack to a more haunting version of Contra. Pulsing industrial beats are layered with detached ambient textures and black metal melodies, invoking images of helicopters and gunfire amidst temple ruins.
