Implementing components of industrial, darkwave, synthpop, and digital hardcore, Dystopiarch, from the outset, emerges and presents as its own guerrilla-audio animal.
With a visual aesthetic that recalls the cut-and-paste primitivism of early ‘80s hardcore-punk, and employing scrapyard electronics strewn across the sonic landscape of the past several decades, Dystopiarch paints a stark world picture of now, and what may lay beyond. With song titles like Pale New World, All Our Heroes Are Dead, Disco Famine, and Next Top Model, the one-man venture rails against shallow, banal socio-culture, blind consumerism, self-celebrity, and our lax attitude toward pressing world issues, that may insinuate not that we could someday rue what we have sown, in a distant dystopian future, but that perhaps we’re already neck deep in it.
Most importantly, all proceeds from the singles leading up to the release of a full-length album, will go to benefit the people of war-torn Ukraine, as the unjust invasion of the country enters its second year.
