I've been listening to them on and of for a while now and I'm still not sure I understand them. The religious symbolism is conflicting, on one hand in Illusion Ronan pretty much says it not what he believes, but there is to much of it to just hand wave away like that. Some of the songs seem to reference the future, as in Airships and Honor and Future Perfect seems almost like a concept album. Or is it all an excuse for battlefield metaphors and swords? Also, what the hell is a Victory Not Vengeance Nation? Is it an attempt at something like Laibach's NSK state?

Whats so hard to understand? VNV, Covenant, Assemblage 23 and a few other bands like this sound cool so just listen to it and enjoy. Plus there are three times as many girls at their live shows as opposed to a power noise sausage fest...

offlineMemberBand in 'image taken seriously' shocker! Suicide Commando 'not really a suicide commando', claims disappointed fan.
Jerome Filligree, 26, winces from behind his goggles as they fail to prevent acrid smoke from burning copies of Mindstrip stinging his eyes. It can't be tears because he no longer 'feels human emotion' after accidentally discovering that his beloved band is not actually a suicide commando but is really 'just some Belgian guy' called Johan Van Roy. 'I feel like I've been raped,' he claims histrionically. 'Which is ironic, because now I doubt that he (van Roy) has ever really raped anyone let alone bound, tortured and killed them!' It's with a blank, slightly idiotic face that Filligree turns to me, pleadingly. 'I don't know what to believe,' he bleats. 'It's all just made up! Apoptygma Berzerk? Tamtrum? What do they mean? Nothing! X Marks The Pedwalk?' He fixes me with a red-rimmed eye. 'There's no pedwalk, man! There is no pedwalk!'
