Type: Armor Unit
20.000 years into our future, humanity has scattered into the black of space One culture, secluded by stellar static, ushered in utopia: the Zeta Zapatistas Once governed, they overthrew They reckoned Observers gazing into the heavens detected an object foreign to their system Reconnaisance was quick to establish this object was capable of killing planets Dismantled and decrypted, its origins seemed eerily human Existence now once again threatened As a democracy, they exclaimed to retaliate A leftover wormhole, a tear through the veil lit the path into a darkness only two could face They reckoned They prayed to binary stars, that two would not fail

Revolutions In Saecula tells the story of two freedom fighters, 20.000 years into the future, whose society and star system is threatened by another civilization. In a desperate attempt to dismantle their imminent subjugation, one of the two, Kasa, eventually becomes stranded alone behind enemy lines. Trapped in a world of technofascists who are human in their DNA but act nothing like modern definitions of such, Kasa discovers this is but the first of frightening truths to be revealed about our universe…

This story is told in about 30 minutes through twenty songs, each representing a chapter; the upcoming physical release will have more visual cues to aid in this sonic/nerdy journey through space.

Type: Armor Unit is a new solo offering by Owen Swerts (Days Of Desolation, Dahmer Duck, etc.), aiming to become an audiographic universe with complex world-building and expression through media beyond purely musical ones.
