Vol.ume @ FENRIR
In the damp, sweat-soaked haze of a fever dream, Electronica claw their way through Punk's raw edges, colliding with the chaos of drag—this is CHAOS.
A bastard lovechild of FKA Twigs' throbbing beat and Avril Lavigne's scuffed-up rebellion, it thrives in the shadows, far from the cold glare of the mainstream.
This is where the freaks and dirtbags gather, where the air smells like burnt circuits, and the energy is a mangled, beautiful mess.
CHAOS is a wrecking ball of sound—electronic shards and punk grit, twisted together in a way that feels dangerous, alive, and utterly untamed.
Welcome to the crash zone.
