End Of All Existence is not an album about any kind of prophecy, it's an album that gives a dreadful message, it's a digital radio podcast broadcasted from the future, transmitting the inevitable truth about the apocalypse with its date set for 16th March 2034.
Scientists face a cosmic riddle. A mysterious extra-terrestrial radio signal from outer space was picked up as it occurred for the first time. The signal, or radio “burst”, was discovered on May 15, 2033, though it’s being reported only now by the SETI Foundation. The burst was identified within 10 seconds of its occurrence and the signal is defined by its continuous repetition. The cause and origin of these mysterious signals remains unknown, but it seems to be clear that something will contact us from billions of light years away… and those who try to contact us are… us.
Decryption experts from all over the world have tried to interpret these signals. It was written in binary code and appeared to be instructions for a simple web interface on which further information could be loaded. These codes contained coordinates and messages from Earth's inhabitants, who could use simple technical means to record warnings and send them in the last hours of their existence.
Those messages contained information about an invasion by so-called architects, also known as god or gods. The harbingers of this invasion are several asteroids, the coordinates of which have been transmitted with precise time, which places are to be urgently avoided and which places can serve as a refuge. These shocking messages of an impending catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions prompted the world government to push ahead its planning for an interstellar generation spaceship. Destination: Kepler 186F.
„We pointed the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) in the direction of Kepler 186F, the first validated Earth-size planet orbiting a distant star in the habitable zone and listened for signs of technology embedded in radio signals 490 light-years from Earth.“
Message one: „We cannot be sure if this signal ever reaches the early 21st century. If this frequency reaches your time, we are all dead. Please inform politicians and your policymakers about the coming threat to change the future. Otherwise there will be no civilisation left! Please prevent the invasion. We truly hope that your actions will cause a change in your time.“
End Of All Existence is an audio visual work of art, an imaginary apocalypse movie transformed into sound. Not only the album itself, but as well the accompanying website showing the polluted grey and black satellite picture of the Earth with transmission codes from all corners of the earth, both tied together give the ultimate experience of the end of civilization as we know it, the extinction, the absolute misanthropy of the planet Earth. Everything managed and composed in such a fascinating style providing a realistic visual/sonic experience that the listener will just like being there witness the end of his home.
„Earth bound history has ended. Universal history has begun. I see New Horizons. Take a manoeuvre around Jupiter, gain up speed and mind to reach the Einstein Rosen Bridge which tunnels us into another dimension 490 light-years from Earth. I sense a glimpse of divinity. We all are one, One mighty god.“
