Type: Armor Unit
A year has passed on this cold, barren world The war resolved, or so I would assume A ripple sent by two pebbles cast, has become a spacetime ocean The way home is long Everyone I loved will be gone Time will have taken them all Will I be remembered when I return? I bid farewell, knowing well a near-derelict vessel might not get me there The wormhole starts to collapse as I enter through this strange looking glass Outside cryogenic sleep, waiting out my days Contemplating all the mistakes we have made

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.
