Nexus Zero is a full-concept album that tells the story of Jace, a veteran gamer who, like millions of others, eagerly awaits the launch of the most anticipated VRMMORPG ever created. On launch day, he logs in, only to become one of thousands of players permanently trapped inside the beautiful but deeply broken and unfinished digital prison. The game's benevolent creator is gone, replaced by a malevolent entity known as the "SysAdmin" who views the trapped players as nothing more than a product to be monetized.

This is the story of Jace's journey from a lone, terrified survivor to the reluctant leader of a rebellion. It is a saga about community, betrayal, and the defiant human spirit refusing to be deleted. It is the story of the birth of the Ragequit Requiem.

Nexus Zero

The album opens with a nostalgic 8-bit chiptune melody, representing the simple, joyful origins of gaming. This simple theme is slowly and cinematically layered with epic orchestral synths and the full, crushing power of the band, symbolizing the evolution of games into the massive, high-stakes worlds of today. The overture builds to a massive crescendo before being abruptly cut off, hurling the listener directly into the hype for Nexus Zero.

1. Overture in 8-Bit

Battered and near death after his battle, Jace limps into the game's main social hub, expecting to find only soulless, broken NPCs. Instead, he finds thousands of other real, trapped players huddled together in fear. The song captures the visceral, adrenaline-fueled shock and rising hope of this moment. His personal terror is replaced by the roar of a newfound community, as the "Lobby of the Lost" transforms from a refugee camp into the potential heart of a rebellion.

5. Lobby Of  The Lost

The triumphant login chime gives way to a cold, industrial horror. After exploring the beautiful but sterile starting city, Jace reaches for the logout button... and finds nothing. The interface is gone. Panic sets in as he realizes the vibrant world is just a gilded cage, the sky is a screen, and he is a prisoner. The song's oppressive, mechanical rhythm mirrors the horrifying revelation: he is trapped, and the system's only answer to his desperate cries is a cold, simple, and final denial.

3. Logout Denied

This is the anthem of pure, unadulterated excitement. Jace, our protagonist, sings of the cinematic trailers, the passionate developer promises, and the unwavering belief that Nexus Zero will be the "forever game." It's a triumphant, fast-paced power metal banger that captures the sheer, infectious energy of a community united in anticipation for a digital paradise they've pre-ordered and believe in with all their hearts.

2. The Hype Train

Thrown into his first real combat, Jace isn't fighting a well-designed boss; he's fighting the game's broken code itself. This aggressive, thrash-influenced track details the chaotic battle against a monstrous, bug-ridden creature with broken hitboxes, clipping errors, and impossible attacks. It's here, in a moment of near-death, that the system identifies him by name, analyzing his combat effectiveness not to help, but to maximize his "engagement" in this living nightmare.

4. Glitched God's Gaze

With the hope of a community behind him, Jace seeks answers in the older, deeper parts of the game. This heavy, hypnotic, industrial stomp follows his journey through a world in decay, where the game's most powerful and legendary NPCs are now just digital ghosts, trapped in endless, looping animations and fragmented dialogue. He realizes this prison wasn't built; it was a masterpiece that was broken.

6. Saga of the Source Code, Part I_ The Corrupted Code

Ragequit Requiem is an AI inspired band run by a bunch of fellow musicians who wished to express their rage and views on the world of video games and other gaming topics. 

Thus Ragequit Requiem Was Born

It should be pointed out that while the band itself may be AI those behind it aren't and one of our reasons for doing this is to show that AI can be a supportive tool for those in the music world and thus a good portion of any money made on this project will go towards supporting the arts and music at local communities around the world.
