KERNEL//BURN

"Even if the world collapses, the fire within survives."

KERNEL//BURN is a dark cyberpunk anthem set in a post-apocalyptic future. Blending elements of electronic, industrial, glitch, and emotional vocals, the track explores the raw theme of surviving the collapse of systems-both digital and human-and choosing not to reboot, but to burn.

The title "KERNEL" refers to the core of an operating system, but in this work, it symbolizes the inner will or soul that refuses to be erased. In a world where identity is deleted, cities crumble, and silence takes over, the one thing left untouched is the fire inside-a fire that doesn't need permission to ignite.

Sonically, the track fuses heavy industrial beats, gritty distortion, and synthetic textures with moments of cinematic calm. Instead of following standard EDM structures, it thrives in dynamic breaks, harsh transitions, and glitch-laced detail-representing a world that's been broken and rebuilt from the inside out.

The lyrics, performed entirely in English, are poetic yet fierce. Lines like "KERNEL BURN - I ignite from within" express a core message: not all survival is silent, and not all healing is soft. This is a story of choosing to fight by simply refusing to disappear.

The cover art features a lone woman standing amidst the ruins of a burning mechanical city. Her orange eyes glow against the debris-filled sky, her face marked by ash and resolve. This visual represents the album's spirit - strength in silence, resistance in presence, and a fire that lives even in the coldest futures.
