Thanks, yes I can understand how people could find it in somewhat poor taste but, even tho our aesthetic may seem incongruous with the gravity of the subject, this project is at heart a sincere reaction to the horror of chernobyl and the outrageous irresponsibly that lead to the disaster. There’s more about the background to it on our blog. if you are interested.
Personally I’ve long been influenced by artists such as Tom Jennings (World Power Systems) and Kenji Yanobe who make quite whimsical/fantastical machine-art which is nontheless based on serious research and ideas about the terrible reality of nuclear disaster and nuclear weapons
All those hypothetical synth names are unpleasant yes, I wouldn’t say those disasters’ place in history or media/culture are at all identical tho and there are many reasons we would not choose to use them but still create the Chernobylizer.
Also to a certain extent we are a Noise band with no remit to be entirely pleasant or tasteful, or to totally avoid ‘dark’ or controversial subject matter.
