About Kill Switch Protocol

Some say the band is out there, playing to audiences that can never report what they've witnessed. Others claim Kill Switch Protocol never existed at all—that they were a mass hallucination, a cultural virus spread through digital audio files and social media algorithms.

But sometimes, in certain places where the walls are thin and the wiring is old, people report hearing music that shouldn't be possible. Industrial rhythms that make their teeth ache. Atmospheric drones that taste like copper. Electronic frequencies that sound like they're being played on instruments made from something that was once alive.

And if you listen closely—though everyone advises against it—you can almost hear a voice, singing about the beautiful horror of dissolution, about how we're all just signals waiting to be decoded, about the protocol that turns flesh into frequency and bone into beat.

The music bangs. The music oozes. The music opens.

And once you've heard it, the music never really stops.
