We salute you if you are reading this! Because in some ways we created this with you in mind and we thank you for your support. This record is something we always wanted and may be the beginning of something new. We lost faith many times over. “Pax Americana” became this mythical monster that we could not slay. But John Fryer came to the rescue. He beat the beast into submission and gave us glory, violence, and decay. The machine and the human merge. Iron and madness beat a steady pulse. Embracing the darkness that reaches out to all of us. Crystalizing it into rhythmic patterns of destruction. Sonic assaults, broken cybernetic hearts, and a metallic aftertaste. Our AI overlords are closing in, but we will fight to the death!
