VNV Nation is an Irish/English electronic project led by Ronan Harris, whose music merges elements of synthpop, EBM (electronic body music), and industrial influences, alongside introspective and socially conscious lyrics. Formed in 1990, VNV Nation stands for "Victory Not Vengeance," reflecting the duo's ethos of striving for personal and creative growth rather than engaging in destructive or antagonistic actions. With Harris at the core of its creative force as the lead vocalist, songwriter, and producer, VNV Nation is known for its uplifting melodies, complex electronic rhythms, and emotionally charged performances.

Throughout its career, VNV Nation has cultivated a devoted global fan base and has consistently evolved its sound, while maintaining a distinctive, melodic character that resonates throughout the underground electronic music scene. The project's discography showcases a journey from the raw, more industrial-tinged edges of early albums to the polished, anthemic qualities of later releases, such as 'Automatic' and the introspective 'Transnational.' VNV Nation's deep dive into darker themes reached new depths with the 2018 release of 'Noire,' delivering a thoughtful exploration of humanity's contradictions and pains. Continuing to push boundaries, the band's 2023 release, 'Electric Sun,' exhibits Harris' continued mastery of weaving complex emotions into expansive electronic landscapes.
