The Dark Forest
Type: Armor Unit
We always feared this expanse would only consist of humans preying on other cultures No non-human life, no ghosts and ghouls alike Aside from the monsters we have let ourselves become Lurking around every corner in this dark forest, are our cousins Do not let yourself be known across galaxies, or seal your fate The hunter can be hunted It’s kill or be eaten Resources all depleted Thieved, swallowed or annihilated

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.
