Zero State

Zero State is a UK-based electronic music duo blending EBM, futurepop, and industrial elements since their formation in the early 2000s. Founded by Ian Arkley (known for his work in metal bands like My Silent Wake and Seventh Angel) and Toby Saunders, the project merges pulsing synthwork, gritty vocals, and philosophical lyrics exploring transhumanism, societal collapse, and existential themes. Their recent tracks like "Lethal Gateway," "Divine Carnage," and "Reptilian Brain" showcase their signature mix of dancefloor-ready beats and dystopian futurism, often layered with sci-fi-inspired samples. With a cult following in the dark electro scene, Zero State continues to deliver brooding, cerebral anthems for cybergoths and synth enthusiasts, balancing club energy with a penchant for apocalyptic storytelling.
