Awakenings 05:21
The darkness, the pain My memories, insane The darkness, the pain my memories, insane Waking up on the wrong side of death Unable to think, to breathe, to react I don't know I don't know why I don't know why I'm still alive The milky light of a November sky, A trembling hand shielding my eyes, Dragging myself out of a Docklands street, Can't think of a reason why I'm still on my feet The darkness, the pain my memories, insane I need to know I need to know why I need to know why I'm still alive

Camden Town 04:47
The beating heart inside a crippled and dying city The hungry buzz of business, crime, sex and music Seek refuge in its wide obliviating embrace In Camden Town, to disappear without a trace. The cold breath of November soothes the pain of my wounds My shoulder scraping the million poster bills on the walls The door code is cracked and opens with a metallic click Inside the empty and silent hallway the air is so still. We meet we share our histories We meet our lies divide us We meet we share our histories We meet our lies inside us In her tattoo memories of a distant past Of random looking connections hiding an oder above my grasp They're tracking you! They're watching you! They're tracking you! They're onto you! We meet we share our histories We meet our lies divide us We meet we share our histories We meet our lies inside us

Getaway 04:49
Speeding over Blackfrairs Our lives through an head-up display The rush of life on the run Protection in a concealed gun We gotta getaway We got to find a way Chased by the unknown Together but so alone Dodging bullets and cops Wondering will it ever stop? We gotta getaway We got to find a way No time for looking back We gotta getaway The rush of life on the run Protection in a concealed gun. We gotta getaway We got to find a way No time for looking back We gotta getaway

Information 04:16
My mind melts, my body stiffens My body melts, my mind stiffens Standing on the edge of our world Looking down Twisted by the age of our words Uttering no sound My mind melts, my body stiffens My body melts, my mind stiffens Clocks stop ticking when she's getting high Feeling the heat spreading from her thighs Images flicker on her eyes in synch Following the rhythm, the pulses of our sins Shrinking, tumbling, feeling paralysed No place left or you and me to hide No means go when they're getting high Feeling like she's gonna die tonight My mind melts, my body stiffens My body melts, my mind stiffens

Night Run 04:57
Long trails of streetlights Engraved onto my eyes Plagued air invade my lungs Visor down on this night run. Light's traffic, two levels down The seediest part of town The sexiest motorbike Going after those from whom we hide. Shake the tension off your mind No running even if we're out time Try to melt into the crowd The unrelenting wall of sound. We're inside, we're patching in Logging on this cruel machine Looking for some hidden path To the code we need to crack This toxic air is part of me The streets unfolding underneath The circuit of my destiny Printed in blood and bones in me This dying city is part of me It'll show no sign of my defeat The circuit of my destiny Printed in blood inside of me The ceiling cracks they're onto us Can only see their muzzles flash Out on the street we try to hide She got hit and you didn't see her die This toxic air is part of me The streets unfolding underneath The circuit of my destiny Printed in blood and bones in me This dying city is part of me It'll show no sign of my defeat The circuit of my destiny Printed in blood inside of me Four in the morning the skyscraper sleeps I am alone to taste my defeat The room is dark where she waits for me One single kiss won't erase my guilt This toxic air is part of me The streets unfolding underneath The circuit of my destiny Printed in blood and bones in me This dying city is part of me It'll show no sign of my defeat The circuit of my destiny Printed in blood inside of me

In the dark Deep underground That's where we can start Connecting at last In the dark Away from it all Crushed by fear and remorse But sharing a new hope The firm grip of knowledge The coldness of facts The colours of madness The thousand shades of death In the dark Away from it all Crushed by fear and remorse But sharing a new hope The firm grip of knowledge The coldness of facts The colours of madness The thousand shades of death

Hunters 04:54
A perfect machine Following the drill Waiting to hit, waiting to kill Psyched up and synched Part of the team Breathing as one Hitting twice as hard. Target in sight We're keeping tight rRady to strike, ready to die The trap is set Orders fill my head Before I know it's time to go Search and destroy Hit and recoil Rage is your friend Fear guides your hand Search and destroy - Incoming! Hit and recoil - Incoming! Rage is your friend - Incoming! Fear guides your hand - Incoming! Incoming! If only this rain Could wash away the taste Of my fucking guilt, my treasured fear I'm over the edge Soaked in regret I can't slow down, I feel my self drown Search and destroy Hit and recoil Rage is your friend Fear guides your hand Search and destroy - Incoming! Hit and recoil - Incoming! Rage is your friend - Incoming! Fear guides your hand - Incoming! Incoming!

Hostages 04:46
Death unwinds its wings Tonight's prey is me Trapped into make believe. Hate fills all of me Sharp and cold as steel They'll pay for all of this For all of this. Chained to my cross Murdering thoughts Drowned by the storm The barrel of a gun Pushes into me Dragging me back to reality The rising sun Telling me you're the only one The rising sun As we come undone The rising sun Telling me you're the only one The rising sun As we come undone Death unwinds its wings Tonight's prey is me Trapped into make believe. Hate fills all of me Sharp and cold as steel They'll pay for all of this For all of this. The rising sun Telling me you're the only one The rising sun As we come undone The rising sun Telling me you're the only one The rising sun as we come undone

Showdown 05:13
You can control our voice but you can't control the noise My chances going down Aping the sun in the sky My time is running out As tears flowing from my eyes. Showdown, bow down Press your head onto the ground. Showdown, bow down Press your head against the fucking ground! Submission and defeat On her weary, longing eyes She's here to claim my freedom She will pay with her life. Showdown, bow down Press your head onto the ground. Showdown, bow down Press your head against the fucking ground! You can control our voice But you can't control the noise Showdown, bow down Press your head onto the ground Showdown, bow down Press your head against the fucking ground

A click and we're there staring at the horizon we have decided to share Our fate. Illusions turned real Projections of our Will, of our hopes and fears Our brightest dreams. No time for the past No time for what wasn't meant to last Dust to dust. No space for regrets No space for what we will have to forget In this space inside our heads. Our common trait Reptilian instincts still commanding our race Our fear of death Driving us on Pushing science to take us beyond Our human form. No time for the past No time for what wasn't meant to last Dust to dust. No space for regrets No space for what we will have to forget In this space inside our heads. No time for the past No time for what wasn't meant to last Dust to dust. No space for regrets No space for what we will have to forget In this space inside our heads.

about

Andrenochrome is far more than just your traditional album: based on a story written by Marko in the late 1990’s and recently revised, it takes place in the not so distant future in a third recession London.

It follows two individuals, Liam Bateman and Kath Hastings.
Liam is assisting Kath from being captured by various organizations for information she carries. As the story unfolds through all the twists, turns, and deception, you'll meet a host of intriguing characters with larger than life personalities.
Very cyberpunk in nature, Adrenochrome is calling upon all the classic themes of the genre and maintaining a distinct rivethead feel, but overall fans of sci-fi or suspense will too be captivated by the story.

Every track on Andrenochrome is named after a chapter in the book and the music acts as the perfect accompaniment to the story, but of course will also be played as a standalone in a club, car, or your home.

Here's what the press says about the album:

"'Adrenochrome' feels like XP8 have finally been let loose without constraint and as a result they have seriously upped their game in terms of production and song-writing. The album is intelligent, innovative and cohesively ties in with the atmosphere of the novel without denting its club-friendly credentials. It's a rewarding experience and one that perhaps even warrants dramatising or animating to cover all the media bases."
Sean Palfrey, Intravenous Magazine

"...ultimately, this album wasn't three years in the making for just one reason - it's a clear labour of love, and an evolved, stoic effort that both adds freshness to the group and paves the way for a new era of listeners. For those who previously couldn't make their mind up about XP8, this is probably the best album to have a listen to. For those who have never liked the band, I can't honestly say this will change your mind - but it will be the best shot the group will have to convert you. Towards the end of the album, we even take a trip down memory lane with some classic Futurepop style tracks that give a respectful nod towards 2005's 'Hrs:Min:Sec.' However, it's unfair to say that the band are stuck in that loop. The group are much better now than ever before, and actually, the ghost of "HMS" could well and truly be exorcised here. As I said, it isn't the perfect release, but it feels like the duo's strongest so far. "
Nick Quarm, Brutal Resonance

"“Adrenochrome” is very well produced, have some really amazing atmospheres of futuristic theme and every track keep a solid and cohersive structure. It’s catchy with strong melodies like the addictive “Night Run” or the album opener “Awakenings” to name a few. It is full speed from the very start and some tracks are more aggressive than others, like “Beyond The Looking Glass” or like the amazing and more melodic 80′s vibe “Hostages”. This is probably the bands most diverse album to date and strike with a modern Futurepop sound with strong beats and many floor fillers. The story is actually one that was written by Marko in the late 90′s and set in a future London and follows two characters that struggle to stay away from different organizations from being captured that want the information they have. I’m looking forward to read this ebook and as the Sci-Fi fan I am, I think it would be really interesting to see this as a full length movie. Don’t you think? "
Björn Andersson, Blackvector Magazine
