Mind Wipe
Negative Agent, Steve Wiener
Polluted world, the burning sky Forgotten dreams replaced by corporate lies Techno-logic, the A.I. dance The crypto-schemes, we never had a chance Misinformation feeds the people's greed Disembodied masters taking everything they need The streaming heaven that's harvesting your soul One-click salvation, just do what you are told CHORUS I reject you I eject you I forget you Unplug me from this crime Bots are scraping, there's no escaping Reduced to data, the marketing machine Give up your conscience, no moral sentience The boardroom god, everything you need The wire's cut, the flesh is week Corrupted thoughts, post humanity My heart exposed, my mind alight The sweeping chaos and never-ending night
5:32
Pain Control
Negative Agent
Spotlights cutting the night Illuminate all the faults in the system Looking for a fight Shit-kicking corporate drones society blisters Where does the power lie Billionaires control corrupt politicians We scream so we don't cry Bleeding hands holding up the resistance Towers in the air Monuments to the faults in the system Children crying and scared Parents taken will society miss them? The fires burning bright The anger of a new revolution A beacon in the night Now is the time, deliver our retribution CHORUS They want to make our world pay A sacrifice their god decays Their hate and lies and laughter Looks like we never mattered The system never goes away Armies invade our streets Enforcing all the fucking faults in the system Proclamations by tweet Fuck the people he's got nothing to give them I'm sick of playing this game You're paralyzed by your own indecision Know where I'm laying the blame Not waiting for the next cataclysm It is an endless time It is the crashing fault in the system It is an endless time Eliminate the fucking faults in the system

Fascist Beatdown
Negative Agent
Throwing fists and breaking faces Ultra-violence no disgrace We're putting nazis in their place Fascist beatdown Joining friends to kick in heads We're here until the bitter end They don't care who they offend Fascist beatdown Pour one out for constitution They think they're safe from retribution We don't offer absolution Fascist beatdown They're full of spite and moral dog shit Burn the world for fun and profit Guess our fists are gonna stop it Fascist beatdown CHORUS You think you're untouchable You think you're untouchable Control the news and close the schools They like them dumb they like them cruel We're overthrow their ship of fools Fascist beatdown Crypto-kiddies lick the boot of oligarchi-nepo brutes It's up against the wall for you Fascist beatdown You think you're untouchable You're so fucking punchable

Terminal Days
Negative Agent
Left to hang God technology Empty promises dissolving like ash Crush our art Scrape humanity Cut the pathways close the door on our past Violent regression This is the killing machine Circuit-bent cyber-nautical dream Hallucinogenic Absolution You'll never see what I'm dying to be CHORUS Time fades away Colors are shifting to grey Images glitch as they play These are the terminal days Mine your mind Kill our passions Quantum penitence for criminal creeps Poison prompting Gonna cash in Take the bioware and drive it in deep Algorithmic Marching orders Techno billionaires with nothing to love Circuits burn Annihilation Look at what the whole world's become

Annihilation Kick
Negative Agent
Conspiracies that grip you tight Helping you sleep at night The king in orange he needs his suckers His violent fuckers So pledge your allegiance Get on your knees To please his disease Give him your body and mind His criminal ego His tiny libido Is this what you were hoping to find CHORUS The fuse was finally lit A conflagration They'll burn society away You buy his merch And you pray at his church A congregation for a nation of swine Embracing the hate You're making it great Living at the scene of the crime CHORUS The fuse was finally lit A conflagration They'll burn society away They're on a one-way trip Annihilation kick I want to see another day He sits alone and he's starting to moan The flag a dirty rag in his hands He needs his release So you give him a piece He's the best messiah you ever had You'll get yours And that's all that matters Living in a world that's gone mad as a hatter The blackened skies the piercing cries It's no surprise that everyone dies

Boot Licker
Negative Agent
Knocked around on the ground won't put up a fight On your knees boss is pleased loves the limelight Pull their weight love their hate don't know who you are You'll go far Enjoy your gold star Compromise boost their lies happy to oblige Morals bent soul is spent barely felt a thing Find your place no disgrace looking out for yourself Is there anything left CHORUS You gave it all away And now they're here to stay Wrapped up in your decay The final days Sell us out makes them proud let them piss on you Family, friends, never ends nothing you could do No regret you're their pet gladly wear a leash This is the path you chose And now they're done You had your fun Left all alone You die alone
4:04
Ignition Warning
Negative Agent
A shadow reaches out A faceless wraith Bound, gagged, and thrown into a cell No words of comfort No human contact Try to stay sane inside this hell CHORUS You run You run Our viral denial This trial brings revival The rising, we're fighting We are the flame Burn you away Oppressive acts of madness Tear us apart The pieces cast aside to rot Rebuild the ego How far will we go To prove our souls can not be bought Humiliation, sadness All hollowed out This shell can't take it anymore I am on fire I'll burn the liar Hey motherfucker, here's your war You run You run Our viral denial This trial brings revival The rising, we're fighting We are the flame Burn you away Away Oppression Repression Society's regression Our mission, Ignition We are the flame Burn you away
5:57
Dead In Berlin
Negative Agent
Pass through the moonlight across the Oberbaum It's spy versus spy you slip through the cracks Bowie and Eno record the soundtrack for crumbling nations to dance to Holding you close a gun at your back CHORUS You're dead in Berlin A body on the city streets You're dead in Berlin To silence the secrets that you keep I don't know who I am today Another missing piece in this game they like to play The mission is obscured by politicians' empty words You're left alone without a home, friend or foe how can you know Pulse is racing the danger your facing One step behind you a whisper in your ear It's always the same there's no one to blame Remember the mission The city streets are slick with rain There's nobody left to turn to anyway The weight in your hand The final command The mission demands one final act Follow your man Remember the plan They can't understand this final act

Fascist Beatdown (Voidscan Mix)
Negative Agent, Voidscan
Throwing fists and breaking faces Ultra-violence no disgrace We're putting nazis in their place Fascist beatdown Joining friends to kick in heads We're here until the bitter end They don't care who they offend Fascist beatdown Pour one out for constitution They think they're safe from retribution We don't offer absolution Fascist beatdown They're full of spite and moral dog shit Burn the world for fun and profit Guess our fists are gonna stop it Fascist beatdown CHORUS You think you're untouchable You think you're untouchable Control the news and close the schools They like them dumb they like them cruel We're overthrow their ship of fools Fascist beatdown Crypto-kiddies lick the boot of oligarchi-nepo brutes It's up against the wall for you Fascist beatdown You think you're untouchable You're so fucking punchable

Terminal Days is the debut album from Negative Agent, nine tracks of ferocious, politically-charged industrial metal that raises a giant middle finger to fascists, oligarchs, tech-bros, A.I. fetishists, and human rights abusers. This is lefty-fueled cyberpunk aggression, it’s catharsis through heavy guitars, nervy synths, punishing beats, and unapologetic lyrics. I wrote Terminal Days during the dystopia of 2025, and it was my way of expressing the rage, terror, and heartbreak I felt as the world’s dumbest authoritarian tore everything apart. This album’ll probably get me onto some sort of right-wing watch list. Fuck ‘em.

Terminal Days features guest turns from musicians like Steve Wiener (Am I In Trouble?, Negative Bliss, Eveale) on “Mind Wipe,” and Greg Schwan (Witnesses, Over Centuries) on “Pain Control.” The album’s rounded out with a remix of “Fascist Beatdown” by the electro/industrial mastermind Voidscan.

This is an angry album, but it’s also a funny one, and it’s one you can dance to in the pit or on the dance floor. I hope you enjoy it.
