Not too far on the raw side as some of those bands can get. It also has a greater sense of melody, and can get pretty heavy at times. There's some genuine breakdowns, that rock hard.

It's a project of noise mastermind Dominick Fernow (tons of stuff, mainly Prurient, but also Cold Cave and Vatican Shadow) and some of Ash Pool's stuff showcases those influence. But their black metal is just so damn good.
