Chain Code, a progressive rock project from Milwaukee, USA, has officially released their debut album, “Synthetic Outcomes,
” which will transport listeners through time and space as they embark on a sonic journey through a dystopian future where technology has overtaken humanity,
blending complex melodies, dissonant chords, and thought-provoking lyrics into a coherent and immersive experience.
Mastermind MuRphry offers his thoughts on the album:
“I am pleased to finally unleash this labor of love. I started this project in 2022 and manically wrote two albums,
fixated on creating paranoid yet beautiful progressive rock to express my enjoyment of dystopian science fiction that sees humanity losing its very essence to machines.
The initial point musically was to have Adrian Belew join Voivod in my bizarro musical mind. I encourage any weirdo to put on a set of headphones and take a trip to our future with the chaotic elegance that is Chain Code!”
Each track on the concept album offers a unique perspective on the overarching theme of the consequences of humanity’s overreliance on technology.
From the frantic energy of the opening track “Human(kind of)” to the haunting beauty of “In Line” Chain Code masterfully balances chaos and harmony, creating a sound that is both challenging and rewarding.
“Synthetic Outcomes” invites listeners to immerse themselves in a world where technology has the upper hand, but the future is still uncertain.
It is recommended for fans of progressive rock, sci-fi themes, King Crimson, and Talking Heads.
