    Its stylized, specific, and unflinching sound roars with a singular menace, at once terrifying and captivating.

    This is artfully bracing listening. [Sep 2008, p.55]

    Unsettling and unexpectedly ravishing in equal measure, Prurient’s latest is as accomplished an album as his followers have come to expect.
  4. Dusted Magazine
    80
    The in-the-moment experience of Fernow’s music is all physical; the aftershock is almost all intellectual, the specifics of the apparent transformation provided entirely by the listener, who is left standing not so much accused as self-implicated.
  5. Tiny Mix Tapes
    50
    Arrowhead is unfortunately not among the stronger things he’s released.

But it's not the best place to start. Hear And Still, Wanting first. It's one of the best noise albums I've ever heard, and a good place to start with Prurient and noise as a whole. Prurient can be very rough, but almost all of his albums offer a rewarding experience, something that can't be said for all noise composers/musicians.… Expand
