Normalized (vinyl)

The Evolutionaries’ first album, Normalized, pulls industrial rock into a cinematic frame: heavy guitars, hard-edged electronics, and rhythm you can feel in your ribs. It lives where Nine Inch Nails’ mechanical pulse meets Marilyn Manson’s menace, then pushes outward into its own symbolic language, with esoteric lyrics that feel like transmissions, warnings, or spells depending on where you’re standing. The band first caught wider attention with “Slave,” featured in Dead Rising as Cliff’s boss-fight anthem, and Normalized expands that intensity into a full-length experience: dark, driving, and relentless, with vocal performances that move from close-in whispers to unrestrained shouts. On vinyl, it hits the way this music is supposed to hit: physical, immersive, and unapologetically loud.

The Evolutionaries blend industrial rock, electronic textures, and heavy guitars into a sound thats dark, cinematic, and driving. Known to many fans from their song Slave, featured as Cliffs boss fight anthem in Dead Rising, the band pushes genre boundaries with pounding rhythms, layered synths, and raw vocals that shift from haunting whispers to powerful shouts.
