Dead In Berlin
Negative Agent
Pass through the moonlight across the Oberbaum It's spy versus spy you slip through the cracks Bowie and Eno record the soundtrack for crumbling nations to dance to Holding you close a gun at your back CHORUS You're dead in Berlin A body on the city streets You're dead in Berlin To silence the secrets that you keep I don't know who I am today Another missing piece in this game they like to play The mission is obscured by politicians' empty words You're left alone without a home, friend or foe how can you know Pulse is racing the danger your facing One step behind you a whisper in your ear It's always the same there's no one to blame Remember the mission The city streets are slick with rain There's nobody left to turn to anyway The weight in your hand The final command The mission demands one final act Follow your man Remember the plan They can't understand this final act

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.
