Altered Zones

We wonder which military base Scorpion Violente raided for their vicious armaments. What we don’t doubt is that in due time, they will be approached by dour bureaucrats with craggy faces, crew cuts, and questions about the illegal footprint of their pervert mambo. There are severe protocols that forbid the deployment of dual-use armaments by civilians-- in this case, the refashioned components from decommissioned Grauzone missiles originally developed by the DDR, from which Scorpion Violente built their drum machines. Or the riot-control projectors whose blueprints inspired the malevolent synth currents that animate the band's skeletal romps. The proof is in the violence.
