Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring frequent collaborator HANA, this abrasive track draws heavy conceptual inspiration from North Korean propaganda and the looming threat of artificial intelligence. The production integrates heavy, cyber-metal guitar riffs with grinding industrial synthesizers, signaling a massive departure from the artist's lighter synthpop origins. It was originally conceived as a promotional anthem for a video game before being repurposed as a menacing, standalone conceptual piece.
