Built on tight, chunky riffs, futuristic synth lines and industrial grit, “Fallout” is a first statement from the project. Lyrically, it looks at what happens when AI and technology run ahead of consequence, touching on singularity, social media’s erosion of thought, and the uneasy blend of human and machine in a post-pandemic world.
The visualiser was crafted and edited by vocalist SVART:H4CKR. It pairs performance footage with heavily manipulated, distorted clips and effects, placing the song inside a bleak cyberpunk setting where technology mutates faster than people can keep up. The story centres on suffering, with wires and flesh as a direct image of the “demon in the machine”.
About the band:
Escape The Construct is a Nottingham heavy act focused on precision, impact, and clarity. Their sound blends tight modern metal riffing with electronic elements that sharpen rather than overwhelm. Formed during a period of global instability, the project channels that tension into music about the pressure we’re living under now, and the systems we are already struggling to control.
