Apocalypse System: Season One

Albums

Released: March 3, 2026

Apocalypse System: Season One is the first full chapter of Android 86’s story-driven industrial metal universe. Built like a soundtrack to a brutal LitRPG apocalypse, the album follows a world where the system comes online, ordinary life collapses, monsters rise, players level, enemies hunt, and survival becomes a violent path toward power, grief, revenge, and revelation. Across heavy guitars, cinematic synths, RIOT and LYRA’s vocal personas, dark humor, boss-battle energy, and emotional fallout, Season One turns game mechanics into mythology and every track into another piece of the larger Apocalypse System saga.

So... a novel eh?

As of right now, I’m 50,000 words into the novel. The writing process has been interesting. The album came first. Four years ago, I was writing new songs that I could pitch to my bandmates. I was the rhythm guitar player, and probably the least talented among them, with the least amount of band...
