Bear with the long intro, it's worth it.

EBM/electro industrial with some touches of drum & bass.

Really interesting project. My first thought was the album cover looks like a textbook cover from some dystopian near-future -- and apparently that's what they're going for.

Data Void: information spaces which can be exploited to introduce new and transgressive ideas in order to promote change or disruption.

The songs on Strategies of Dissent draw their themes from our current era of chaos rather than presenting a faded cyber-dystopian future. This is a world projected in JG Ballard's view that "the advanced societies of the future will not be governed by reason. They will be driven by irrationality, by competing systems of psychopathology." But rather than a bleak, nihilistic rant, the album explores the place of the individual in a world where powerful social and technological forces drive uncertainty; where cults, conspiracies, ego and irrational faith hold more sway than trust, facts and reason. Where words and actions have become untethered from consequence and where corporations and late-capitalist agendas hold more power than governments. Strategies of Dissent is "a soundtrack for the dispossessed".
