Strauss ex Machina feat. Kari Berg — The Sound of the Alarm

I usually make industrial rock music in the band Morlocks, but every once in a while I play around with my solo project, which is mainly me and my attempts to settle the score with music from the 80's. Mostly. Well, I can do whatever the fuck I like, to be honest, but that is where it usually lands. In this case, I just had to do a machine-pop song, because I simply wanted to. I can't write boy-meets-girl/boy lyrics (because I can't stand them), so even if the tune itself is sort of catchy, the contents deal with the usual stuff: Destruction, death, the end of life as we think we know it and whatnot. After all, it's more realistic. Power plants do explode. True everlasting love, on the other hand, only exists in fiction and the hearts of dreamers. Love is not even half as permanent as death. Halfway through I realized that this song would do great with some extra female vocals. I collaborated with Chaos All Stars a while ago, doing a remix of one of their songs, where I added extra vocals myself. I later performed said remix live with CAS and their singer Kari Berg, and I thought she'd be perfect for the job since I respect her as an artist and also a new friend. She did not disappoint me, I am deeply grateful for her help and very happy with the outcome. Disclaimer: I don't know jack shit about how nuclear plants operate in reality, so if anyone feels like pointing out that this scenario doesn't really work that way, don't. All in all. Here it is. You won't hear from me as SexM for a time, it's going to be 100% Morlocks for quite a while. Hail Eris.

I'm out of options, out of time I'm running out of air The pipes around are leaking with slime (some glowing stuff I usually do not touch) I feel the water boil Somehow I don't feel any fear This radioactive coil Is signalling the end of my career I sing the meltdown countdown In a few minutes I'll be toast Level seven I'm gonna roast But like the captain on a sinking ship I am staying on my post And I go nuclear as the skin melts on my arm To the sound of the alarm
