New York, NY, April 8th, 2026 – NEGATIVE AGENT<\/strong> has released itheir debut album, Terminal Days<\/strong>. <\/em>The album features nine tracks of ferocious, politically-charged industrial metal, and raises a giant middle finger to the fascists, oligarchs, tech-bros, A.I. fetishists, and human rights abusers that have taken over the United States.

Terminal Days<\/em><\/strong> is an outlet for our collective anger; a catharsis through heavy guitars, nervy synths, and punishing beats. Unapologetically political lyrics push back against censorship and gaslighting. At the same time, there\u2019s a sarcastic sense of humor running through many of the songs. (Consider \u201cFascist Beatdown,\u201d a track about punching Nazis.) And like all industrial music bangers, Terminal Days<\/strong><\/em> totally stomps in the clubs.

\u201cI created Negative Agent because I couldn\u2019t find any other way to express the rage, terror, and heartbreak I was feeling when the current  administration took over,\u201d says NEGATIVE AGENT<\/strong> founder, Brian Stillman. \u201cMusic and art have always been political, inspiring acts of resistance and giving people a voice when the powerful try to shut them up.\u201d

Terminal Days<\/em><\/strong> also features guest musicians like Steve Wiener<\/strong> (Am I In Trouble?<\/strong>, Negative Bliss<\/strong>, Eveale<\/strong>) on \u201cMind Wipe,\u201d and Greg Schwan <\/strong>(Witnesses<\/strong>, Over Centuries)<\/strong> on \u201cPain Control.\u201d The album\u2019s rounded out with a remix of \u201cFascist Beatdown\u201d by the electro\/industrial mastermind, Voidscan<\/strong>.

Terminal Days<\/em><\/strong> is available on CD and cassette tape formats as well s all major digital outlets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formed in NYC in 2025 by Brian Stillman, the industrial metal band\u00a0NEGATIVE AGENT<\/strong>\u00a0delivers a direct and caustic\u00a0fuck you<\/em>\u00a0to fascists, oligarchs, tech-bros, AI fetishists, and human-rights abusers that have taken over the United States. It\u2019s lefty resistance and paranoid futurism and even a little bit of hope in these dark days. Inspired by bands like Ministry, Front Line Assembly, Fear Factory, Pitchshifter, and Killing Joke,\u00a0NEGATIVE AGENT<\/strong>\u00a0delivers progressive aggression that\u2019s equally at home in the pit and on the dance floor.
\u00a0
Brian Stillman\u2019s own history with the scene goes back to the early Nineties when he started playing shows and going to clubs in NYC. In the late Nineties and early 2000s, he was part of a group who spent 15 years running a monthly goth\/industrial party called Contempt. Along with everything else,\u00a0NEGATIVE AGENT<\/strong>\u00a0is Stillman\u2019s love-letter to that time, and to all the people who made the scene in NYC so great.
