Today, The Breaching Experiment's Shikasta Is Going Down is released. It is a re-release of a couple of old tracks, originally released in 2013 and 2014. This release presents the tracks slightly edited. The title track, this time split in two, is inspired by Doris Lessing's Shikasta series and its analysis of human civilisation; the second track, "Less The Impact", is "inspired" by the rather depressing political landscape in Europe and elsewhere.

New release from The Breaching Experiment: E.O.W. out on September 13th!
This is perhaps the first work in the genre sociological metal, where the album is based closely on Erik Olin Wright's book Envisioning Real Utopias. The album explores the ideas in the book through nine songs, beginning with a furious diagnosis of capitalism, and ending in an exploration of real utopias, narrated by Wright himself.

A new release from The Breaching Experiment, Anthropocene, is out.
This EP is a bass line bonanza - no guitars, no fuss (but some overdrive). Rhythmic, slightly apocalyptic. The opening track, Drip Drop, laments the pain of raining hopelessness, followed by the title track that again reflects on the human condition. The next, King of Starlings, was born from José Saramago’s book ”The Stone Raft”. Lunatic takes an astronomical perspective on our human problems, and Alpha Rhythm, finally, asks whether all of this maybe not happened at all.
Now, your turn. Go listen.
