Wave Generators – After The End
A lot of people spend their days vaguely anxious about the pandemonium they can feel about to sweep down on all of us. They see the cracks in the societal dam holding back total chaos, and – knowing it could go sideways any minute- they have a hard time going about their day… enjoying their lunch… relaxing on the weekend. It’s like a splinter in the comfort zone in their brains… They can’t focus on anything because they’re way too aware of the cracks spreading in the thin ice we’re all walking on during these waning days of the empire.
But that’s not even the actual issue. The real problem is: they just don’t have the right soundtrack cued up for when that proverbial excrement hits that spinning fan blade of reality. To put it another way, they haven’t heard Wave Generators yet.
This is the album you’re going to want to reach for when you swear allegiance to Lord Humongous, Master of the Wastes, and start cruising around with your crew of marauders looking for fledgling-city-states growing in the husks of abandoned corporate campuses that you can sack and pillage and then hold a little post-raid-party in the ruins.
This is the music that plays from the speakers mounted to the giant drill that the army of mole people drives through 5th avenue as they commence their invasion of the upper crust. Even though the headline news is, “this means the destruction the surface dwellers’ society and the age of Mole-Man dominance,” you can’t help but wonder, “where can I hear more of that subterranean battle anthem though?!”
This is the soundtrack you want in your earphones when your life drops you into a straight up movie scene foot chase scene, tearing through active restaurant kitchens, jumping rooftop to rooftop. It’ll be way too intense to fully enjoy it and you’re gonna be winded as hell because you’re not Tom Cruise and it you’re being honest with yourself; you’ve neglected your cardio. But the way the tracks line up with the near death moments and the inevitable moment when you think you’re home free but then round the corner and smack face first into the biggest of your pursuers, …. It’s all so satisfying it’s almost worth it that you’re about to be jammed into the trunk of a mid-90s Ford Taurus.
Wave Generators is exactly what you‘ve been looking for, without ever knowing you were looking. But don’t expect to take any breaks now that you found it. If anything- now that you have this last crucial tool you’ve been looking for, your busy season begins. Crank the volume, get out there, and get after it.
