Artificially Evolved Docile Animal
Type: Armor Unit
As if out of a strange dream I heard my language, for the first time In what seemed forever Descendents of my friends Monitoring the Caesa belt tracted me into their ship and briefed the war had not ended A fleet of theirs came and conquered And occupied the habitable zone of our tidally locked planet The rest of us, displaced or colonized 50 years of living beneath methane mires Exhausted from guerrilla warfare We are docile animals Like a phylobite or a manatruse Slowly metamorphizing into something crude Living out our days as if there’s no alternative Sent off like lambs to the slaughter A bloated technarch became their god Well-fed, well-raised Obedient and depraved

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.
