Austrian atmospheric post-metal band Anderwelt has released the new mini-EP Transanimalism via Electric Fire Records. Composed of two tracks, Transanimalism marks the return of the Linz-based band four years after the album 2084.
Transhumanism is a posthuman movement that seeks to use technology to extend human life, separate the mind from the body, and enhance both physical and intellectual capabilities. Although the realization of these ideas remains uncertain, transhumanism raises significant ethical concerns. It could exacerbate inequalities, foster alienation, and challenge the very essence of what it means to be human. Transhumanism can be seen as an assertion of placing oneself above nature and any divine forces, real or imagined.
In the classic tradition of Anderwelt, blending serious reflection with satire on futuristic societal issues, Transanimalism explores what might happen if animals accidentally discover and use transhumanist technology in a post-apocalyptic world.
Would they, like humans, ultimately pursue power and immortality, accepting the collateral damage that comes with it? Or would they find another path that embraces their biological and mortal nature instead of rejecting it?
After two intense years of live performances featuring a new light show perfectly synchronized with their auditory program, Anderwelt returns with their latest effort, Transanimalism. Building on the themes explored in 2084, this mini-EP once again delves into dystopian, futuristic, and societal questions - this time imagining what might happen if super-intelligent machines were to fall into the hands of endangered animals.
