Project 86 are back and in a big way. Their latest endeavor, OMNI, is an immersive Sci-fi/horror media experience that is one part double album, one part film, one part novel. Though it is a work of fiction, it is rooted in current events, circa 2023. Sonically, it is a wholly unique merger of genres…death metal, gore, rock, electronic, and doom metal.
OMNI Part 1 arrives March 24 and is now available for pre-order. OMNI Part 2 will arrive in the fall of this year. Today, Project 86 has also shared the video for “0 > 1.”
Frontman Andrew Schwab shares more about the new track:
“‘0 > 1’ is a nasty, rabid, percussive swath of unsettling alternative metal rhythms, riffage, and growls, one that is sure to be a highlight on the new album.”
He continues: “The song channels the disturbing rants of a ‘fictitious’ character named Alexander Ophis, who is the founder of a tech company called OMNI. I imagine Ophis as an amalgam of many of the major elite players in global politics and power at the present; He is one part Elon Musk, one part Klaus Schwab, one part Bill Gates, and yet more sadistic, twisted and corrupted than all of them combined. Nineteen years into the future, in this song, Ophis reveals how his company conquered the world on the back of plague and famine, using technology to silence and manipulate the masses (as well as world governments, the media, and big medicine) into submission.”
