Ignition Warning
Negative Agent
A shadow reaches out A faceless wraith Bound, gagged, and thrown into a cell No words of comfort No human contact Try to stay sane inside this hell CHORUS You run You run Our viral denial This trial brings revival The rising, we're fighting We are the flame Burn you away Oppressive acts of madness Tear us apart The pieces cast aside to rot Rebuild the ego How far will we go To prove our souls can not be bought Humiliation, sadness All hollowed out This shell can't take it anymore I am on fire I'll burn the liar Hey motherfucker, here's your war You run You run Our viral denial This trial brings revival The rising, we're fighting We are the flame Burn you away Away Oppression Repression Society's regression Our mission, Ignition We are the flame Burn you away

Terminal Days is the debut album from Negative Agent, nine tracks of ferocious, politically-charged industrial metal that raises a giant middle finger to fascists, oligarchs, tech-bros, A.I. fetishists, and human rights abusers. This is lefty-fueled cyberpunk aggression, it’s catharsis through heavy guitars, nervy synths, punishing beats, and unapologetic lyrics. I wrote Terminal Days during the dystopia of 2025, and it was my way of expressing the rage, terror, and heartbreak I felt as the world’s dumbest authoritarian tore everything apart. This album’ll probably get me onto some sort of right-wing watch list. Fuck ‘em.

Terminal Days features guest turns from musicians like Steve Wiener (Am I In Trouble?, Negative Bliss, Eveale) on “Mind Wipe,” and Greg Schwan (Witnesses, Over Centuries) on “Pain Control.” The album’s rounded out with a remix of “Fascist Beatdown” by the electro/industrial mastermind Voidscan.

This is an angry album, but it’s also a funny one, and it’s one you can dance to in the pit or on the dance floor. I hope you enjoy it.
