Fluorescent Black
Type: Armor Unit
One swift solution Mutagenic weapon A mass genocide Justified The sound of metal bending Oily blood spills from orange wounds Frail bodies lie twitching While their coms turn mute Even quicker than this disease The word had spread that their suffering will finally be eased Either by death or by revolt Against the leaders of this world Major sacrifices made Or am I a terrorist in an interplanetary conflict? On the chute I climbed up To confront this Technarch Looking down All I saw was fluorescent black

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.
