A twisted blend of live instrumentation, hard-edged sequences and found-sound collage. Old-skool technological devil music without the desire to imitate empty forms. Soundtrack to an urban skirmish on the heavily-armed borders of reality. | | Record Label | unsigned | | Type of Label | None |

| About Veterans of Future Wars |
The Veterans of Future Wars are an enclave of dark experimental musicians based in Asheville North Carolina USA. They have been forging a collective sonic consciousness since 1996, with a year or two off for recovery along the way.
Their style blends primal organic textures with a sense of synthetic alienation. Percussion and textural elements are typically made from their own field recordings of scrap metal, machinery and other found sounds, often heavily treated into pure sonic sculpture. The guitar is extended into a six-oscillator analog sound source, often played live into the computer to be cut-up and resynthesized on the fly during performance.
VFW's output has spanned a continuum from alien drug noise and massive chaotic droning, through digital breakbeats and sample-happy dance grooves, and into all-out metal chaos. The current album project is an evolution for the band, with a strong vocal presence, linear cohesion, and a focus on live performance and repeatability. All the sonic elements of the past are brought together, but with more balance and intent.
...This means that the next album should be all psychotic drug drones and death trance.
