Prurient
Prurient is the main project of American musician Dominick Fernow, who grew up in Wisconsin and lives in New York. Active since the late 1990s, it works mostly in harsh noise and power electronics, though later records draw on synthesizers, black metal and techno. Fernow runs Hospital Productions, a label that also had a record shop in Manhattan from 2006 to 2011. He makes industrial techno as Vatican Shadow, also records as Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement, and has played synthesizer live with Cold Cave. Bermuda Drain (Hydra Head, 2011) moved Prurient towards melody, and the double album Frozen Niagara Falls (Profound Lore, 2015) drew the widest critical response of his career.
