Guest primusluta Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I want to like this guy. I mean he's obviously trying to pick up on the muslimguaze vibe which is a soft spot for me. But something about it. A subtle nuance is missing? Anyone know what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 yeah, i know exactly what you're talking about. If i didn't know any better i would say without hesitation that Boomkat is promoting sounds from 80s era post industrial music (zoviet france, muslimgauze, hafler trio, esplendor geometrico) and not really giving their customers much perspective on what this stuff is influenced by. the best post-muslimgauze inspired work i've heard, it's by Kush Arora titled 'Underwater Jihad', don't let the title fool you, the music itself is nuanced and very very good.

awepittance Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 it also kinda makes me wonder, what is the band Vatican Assassin's reason and motivation behind choosing album art like this does this mean anything besides scary aesthetics playing into the whole war on terror climate? I'd love to see an interview with this group on why they choose to represent themselves this way. Muslimgauze was extremely unapologetic about his controversial beliefs, so there was a reason to his madness, im just wondering if the same applies to Vatican Assassin... edit: for those out there not familiar with the man in the picture, go here http://en.wikipedia....dal_Malik_Hasan He is the man alleged to have been the Fort Hood shooter from about 2 years ago. part of the reason Kush Arora played into the terrorism climate at the time is because right after 9/11, people used to scream at him on the street that he looked like a terrorist, and he was Indian not muslim or arab. I'm still trying to figure out why Vatican assassin does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweepstakes Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I don't get it and no offence to anyone's roster but nothing mentioned in this thread sounds like Muslimgauze besides Muslimgauze. I agree that the Kush Arora stuff sounds better than the Vatican Shadow stuff (both I've never heard of prior to today) but I don't think it sounds much more like Muslimgauze. Maybe a little bit but that influence wouldn't have occurred to me on a cold listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 you're right, he is unparalleled. I just thought i'd throw that out there, that Arora was doing this stuff back in 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Thread has really peaked my interest into checking out Muslimgauze. His catalog is a bit intimidating though anyone have a good suggestion as to a starting point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffa Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I really like the sound of Vatican Shadow, I was less fond of the sound of Kush Arora which I felt had little to no relevance to this thread or Vatican Shadow's sound and just seemed like divebomb spam.

Guest primusluta Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Didn't realize this was prurient. Interesting. Every time I saw "Vatican Assassins" I thought "hmmmmm Blue Daisy's 'Shadow Assassins' maybe?" At any rate to my original point is the consensus then that this is not meant to be a muslimguaze-y type project? Just coincidentally using similar naming conventions and imagery? I'll take everyone elses's word for it if that's the case. But if it is supposed to be Bryn inspired I think the thing that it's lacking is an edge. Everything I've heard so far has been decent mind you, but there's no edge to the tracks to parallell the edge which the titles and imagery suggest. Rather than sitting on the cusp of action it just kind of sits. On its mown it may stand up I guess, but because it's dressed itself as such I kind of expect more.

I'm confident enough to recommend stuff on my own label that are relevant to discussions without hesitation. If It was absolutely non relevant to the musical content in this thread i could perceive it as being purely spam, but it's self evidently relevant. So laser-guided instead of dive bomb would be more appropriate a characterization :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lucy Faringold Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 ...seems like his fans don't care about his constant use of controversial imagery with seemingly no purpose. Come on man, the music drips with death and dread and nausea. The imagery works with the music. Stop trying to make everything so black and white.

Guest Backson Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 So, let me get this straight... Vatican Shadow is another alias of the dude from Purient? And the dude from Purient is also a member of Cold Cave and Nuclear Pig Shit? And I thought Elon Katz was proactive! Man, these industrial revivalists sure are driven.
