The distortion master is back! Sacerdos Vigilia drops a serious woofer test with the Foreshadowed Destruction EP. Better get those earplugs ready, ‘Gehoorschade’ is some absolute racket. “Waarom staat die muziek zo hard”? Because we like it, that’s why! Premonition hits you right in the feels. We couldn’t have asked for a more diverse EP. Better recognise: distortion matters!

Premonition

Gehoorschade

The third movement, a waltz, presents the feeling of happiness stolen—pride in another’s achievements, yet unable to fully participate in the joy. "Turgor" represents the tension between holding something back and the yearning to express it. It’s a dance of restraint, a reminder of the unspoken and unseen in the midst of outward celebration.

Some Older Hardcore Mix 27-09-2025

A fleeting moment of clarity, a river of memories shimmering with the illusion of beauty. "Glass River" is the quiet realisation that dwelling too long in nostalgia only reveals how fragile those memories truly are. Here, the aching grief of the past is momentarily forgotten, giving way to an almost lighthearted reverie—a flow of beautiful thoughts, once cherished, now reimagined with a certain detachment. The song dances between two sections, almost as if the mind is lost in a dream, only half-aware of its own fragility.

But beneath the surface, something shifts. The Minore section, with its rich, dark tension, breaks the dreamlike state, pulling the listener back to the pain that lies hidden beneath these ‘pleasant’ memories. The shift is sharp, unexpected—like the shattering of glass. Anger lingers in the air, bitter and sharp, reflecting not only sorrow but a certain disillusionment. Here, the past is no longer viewed with rose-colored glasses but with a seething awareness that the beauty was always intertwined with something darker.

"Glass River" is the moment when the past is both held close and released. It is a place where nostalgia is not just a source of pain but also a vehicle for anger, a river of memories that shatters against the rocks of the present, breaking the illusion of beauty and revealing something far more jagged.

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!
