06 - Flesh Machine

Poisoner is an experiment in Electronica music of all styles.

The 'Poisoner' is the element in all of us that goes against the grain; the Status Quo.  Everything that we do under the guise of this mal-content is to overcome the monotony and lack of autonomous individuality that we are subjected to throughout the course of a normal day.  For every Fascist there is a Rebel.
