Against The Costume
Cyber describes the sound, not the wardrobe. A short note on what this project refuses to look like.
The genre line is Cyber Nu-Metal, and the word cyber earns its place in the sound design: granular vocal fragments, industrial impacts, modern bass synthesis interlocking with downtuned guitar, controlled digital fracture. It does not earn a costume.
So: no circuit boards, no chrome skulls, no magenta-and-cyan street scenes, no code rain, no glowing interfaces pretending to be information. Those images are a shortcut past the actual subject, and the actual subject is people.
What is left is more useful. Warm off-white paper. Near-black ink. Toner, dust, concrete, scratched emulsion. A human profile at an uncomfortable scale. One horizontal rupture crossing a clean structure, because a break only reads as a break when there is something intact to break.
If the artwork looks like it was printed, dragged across a table, and photographed under bad light, that is the point. The distortion has to have a hand in it.
