Type: Armor Unit
Waking up, eyes cauterized shut Naked, in excruciating pain A single voice echoes out Frequencies like nails to the brain It translates my cry for help It says it knows why I’m here I felt a drill spinning against my head Until all noise ended abruptly Shackles dropped to the ground Shivering, I touched in the dark A shape familiar to my gnosis Finger-pattern locked from usage It must’ve been a glitch These creatures stopped working My fingers pressed against the switch And cut up everything in proximity I could hear bodies split in two I think it pulled me through Afraid and defiled I had to plant the weapon A combat knife stuck to my belt The only way to see again I felt my pupil against the tip As I sliced open my eyelids

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.
