Enraged Rhythm

Old skool gabber recovered and never released until now. Somewhere in between 1994 and 1996 these were actually lost and forgotten until found on a DAT tape recently. Listen to some of the sounds as this style paved the way for today’s electronic music.

Lost & Forgotten

Ralphie Dee - The Serpant

Louder! Crank the volume open with Distortion Matters, the noisy album by Sacerdos Vigilia. Ready to revive your inner industrial hardcore!

From the spicy funk that is Tabasco Viscosity to the deliciously distasteful intensity of Distortion Matters, Sacerdos Vigilia uses the album format to play with tempo, style and all things electronically glorious. You’re in for a trip where one preset is the holy grail. The stir in the melting pot of movement. We’re talking distortion, baby! From 1 to 11 and then some, Sacerdos Vigilia knows how to dosage the dirt like a chef. A pinch here, a tablespoon there. A truckload right in between bass drum and snare. These beats bang!

From the fingertips of Sacerdos Vigilia himself and in cooperation with Kilbourne, Nanostorm, Embrionyc, The Relic, Rude Awakening and Strange Arrival, Distortion Matters is a crazy ride through fields of audio mayhem. Add a roaring remix of The Industrial Noise Situation by Daniela Haverbeck plus an Embrionyc rectification of the title track and the outline is clear: we’ve got an awesome rave ahead!

Enslave yourself to the divine rhythm. A hard techno, industrial hardcore story in 15 chapters by Sacerdos Vigilia. After the dust settles, one thing is abundantly clear: Distortion Matters!

LUNARTEK

Distortion is complexity, distortion is life. It is that passion for life that fuels the artistic endeavors of Dennis Jacobs aka Sacerdos Vigilia, Dutch DJ and producer who has earned himself a ton of respect since he put out his debut EP in 2013. Drawing his inspiration from the trailblazers of the industrial hardcore sound, he has become one himself, with a trademark knack for distortion – often spiced up with more distortion.  And yet, he always has in mind the entertainment factor, which he displays in full when he’s in the DJ booth: You will be hard-pressed finding anyone who authentically enjoys himself so much playing to a crowd.

2020 proved to be a milestone year, with two very different full length albums being released on Meta4 and Traumatic, the latter featuring a string of collaborations with artists who have inspired, accompanied and supported him: Rude Awakening aka Promo, Ophidian, Armageddon Project, Demanufacturer and Cubic Nomad among others. 

The Sacerdos Vigilia sound has a perfectionist edge and moves freely between the genre boundaries of industrial hardcore and techno, doom and darkcore. Regularly, his tracks also display a very developed sense of humor, which is a unique juxtaposition. The future is open wide, with a musical creativity that has shaken off all boundaries already. There are plenty stories waiting to be distorted!
