Planetfall
Type: Armor Unit
The grey thickens as I hurdle down upon cracquelure rocks in an arid wasteland For miles, no life For days, just night This war, this strife How I’ve come to miss the light Treading towards targets (Sound no alarm) Hiding from a thousand eyes (Sound no alarm) To inject the virus Decrepit concentric buildings Housing what appear to be faceless commuters Creatures, more prosthetic than flesh Sexless, floating in a mist of microplastics Feeding biomechanical tubes Leading to an upside-down pyramid suspended Above sprawling structures Suddenly, an electrical surge Captured This war, this strife How I’ve come to miss the light

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.
