'Vanterwood Industries, Inc' is a large looming industrial complex that's located on the borders of a quiet little factory town. This album is a bleak sonic exploration of the secret, mysterious, ominous goings-on within the walls of this strange complex.

The wordless narrative of the story is told from the point of view of an unnamed town citizen who sneaks around the facility at night, records what they see, and returns during the working hours of the following day. Through certain things that this citizen witnesses and experiences - they think they've figured out what's going on within the factory walls… and it’s too horrifying for words…

PRESS :

''An utterly haunting and mesmerizing sound journey through dark industrial landscapes. It's a dystopian nightmare, full of frightening atmospheres and surreal noise. A bleak and eerie yet wonderfully immersive listening experience.'' - Audio Crackle

''A wordless story of industrial exploration with a sinister undertone, Vanterwood Industries, Inc. is aurally the stuff that unnerving and surreal dreams are made of. Deep drones and industrial noise mix together with subtle harmonies to give the atmosphere of something seemingly mundane but also subtly frightening. As I listened, I tried to grab clues as to what may be going on in this strange industrial complex that would be cause for concern, but that's all I got - concern. There are no answers here, there are only questions and the prompts for your imagination to run with multitudes of possibilities. The intentional vagueness is where this album stays and never gives clarity, sonically or thematically... In the end we're left without answers. It is a perfectly ambiguous end.'' - Fringes of Sound

''Musically, the album consists of one short track sandwiched between two much longer offerings. These pieces provide hazy atmospherics with hints of mechanical repetition in the background. But the dominating sound is that of sculpted static with a touch of synth droning. Conducive’s efforts go well beyond mere white noise and instead control the utilization of frequencies in a manner that evolves to tell the story.'' - Avant Music News

''The album channels this exact combination of conspicuousness and mystery. Strange loops are concealed with an emission smog, and while it’s possible to detect a harmonic energy to these repeating patterns, they never adopt a discernible shape, crouched instead within airs that thicken, through imperceptibly slow evolutions, from dark ambient wisps into sputtering harsh noise. The mental imagery is vivid and dreadful: it’s pitch-black, save for the ghoulish-green “ON” lights of machinery modules and the pale infiltration of moonlight. Shadows depict the toothed edges of cogs and the quiver of rotating engine belts. No one else is around. The gradual ascent in volume could resemble the machine’s accelerating productivity, or the slow-dawning inside the mind of the unnamed citizen: the intensifying speculations regarding the factory’s raison d’être, through which strands of disparate thoughts are bound together into a horrifying conclusion. They will never tell, and we will never know.'' - ATTN : Magazine

''Beautiful'' - Kate Bosworth, Dark Train (Radio Show)
