Prurient Live @ Basilica Soundscape 09/15/2018

Night Rituals

This was a really intense performance by Prurient. I have seen him a few times in the past and it was always just a guy sitting at a table, twisting some knobs and pushing some buttons. This time it was a true performance. The music was raw and played with an emotional immediacy that betrays it's electronic origins. Dominick's stage presence was violent and unpredictable as he thrashed between abusing his equipment and screaming into the abyss. The recording doesn't really capture that intensity but it's still provides a good listen.
