20th Hijacker [Colored Vinyl], Vatican Shadow, Vinyl

Vatican Shadow's 20th Hijacker-the redacted "what if" doom electronics loop which dissects the gulf between death as sacrifice vs. Reward, anxiety digitalization and universal human commonality-fear of loud noises and falling for the unspoken lost 9/11 generation.Repeated patterns of low-frequency pulses, coded intervals of silence and insistent machine-like percussive bursts resemble the preliminary stages of coordination. Experts familiar with prior activity of the organization note that these sonic movements align with earlier warnings of revolutionary activity, with networks mobilizing resources for a techno-industrial event of uncertain but potentially catastrophic magnitude and destabilizing influence, felt especially on "Speed Of Sound" featuring Iggor Cavalera.With an atmosphere of secrecy pervasive, these nebulous communiques have a persistent momentum, consistent with preparations. The density of sound layers indicate reconnaissance-global photography, encrypted kill webs-woven into forms that stand to conceal as much as disclose.20th Hijacker synchronizes post-Desert Storm-era paradoxes between the world's fastest surveillance plane at the time which was unarmed and the guerrilla weaponization of commercial aircraft-foreshadowing the essence of the ongoing war on terror-the merger of special operations and espionage within both opposing adversaries. In a climate of inevitability-never forget war is a force that gives us meaning.
