Orbital Vision Quest
Type: Armor Unit
Rebel headquarters alerted of an imminent attack We barely know our enemy; one of us has joined their ranks Can we take refuge elsewhere? Warp drives would lead them there All paths end in disaster Is this version of heaven we’ve held onto a promise or a cage? It kept me undaunted, yet I fail to feel alive This god I thought was everywhere, resembles a nightmare The human condition is to subdue On an orbital vision quest I saw terrors from the past And what had to be done to survive The horror to come Free ourselves From subjugation I would again infiltrate Find weaponry to appropriate Go into the 4D And crunch it into three

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.
