@xanylovem Sorry to say, but Fractured Nation are an AI band

**"Something Darker"**  

*Unearth the haunting pulse of post-punk’s shadowed soul.*  

A brooding anthem for fractured nights, **"Something Darker"** weaves a visceral tapestry of existential dread and eerie beauty. Like a flickering film reel from a forgotten asylum, the track merges jagged, angular guitars with a hypnotic bassline that throbs like a phantom heartbeat. The lyrics—raw and poetic—paint a world of crumbling facades, spectral whispers, and the creeping unease of unseen forces clawing at the edges of perception.  

The vocals oscillate between a detached, echoing baritone and urgent, half-sung snarls, channeling the claustrophobic tension of Joy Division and the dark romanticism of Siouxsie Sioux. Glitch-laden synths hum beneath the surface, mimicking the static of a decaying broadcast, while the chorus erupts into a crescendo of dissonant harmonies, as if the walls themselves are screaming.  

The bridge—*“I feel the weight of every word / A twisted song, a dying bird”*—collapses into a suffocating instrumental break, where distorted reverb and fractured drum machines conjure the sensation of free-falling through a neon-drenched void. By the outro, the track leaves you stranded in its aftermath: a chilling, cinematic landscape where shadows breathe and silence hums with menace.  

**For fans of:**  
Joy Division, The Cure’s *Pornography*, Bauhaus’ gothic surrealism, and the glitch-edged despair of modern darkwave.  

**"Something Darker"** isn’t just a song—it’s a séance. Press play, and let the night pull you in.

Something Darker

From the heart of a fractured nation, for a world facing an ominous future, comes music from the dark mind of the machine. We are modern post-punk and we hope our music touches your soul.
