Fossil is a landmark recording for Prurient and forever changed the MO of the project due to nearly half a year of preparation and the unusual circumstances this event was recorded in the Candle Factory (RIP) in Olneyville, Rhode Island at damaging volume for over two hours, in temperatures below freezing (recorded February 14th), with minimal shrine like lighting, and an orchestration of multiple parties from varied backgrounds including guests: Ben Barnett of Dropdead (guitar, vocals) Bryan Gilroy of Viodre (electronics, percussion), Jeff Plummer of Immaculate: Grotesque (synthesizer), Kris Lapke of Louder than Life (vocals, percussion), and Emily Aalvatierra of Football Rabbit (vocals, percussion).
