IC3PEAK: Audiovisual Terror and the Fight with Russia

IC3PEAK took the idea of a music project and turned it into something closer to a weapon. In this video I dive into how a Russian electronic duo used “audiovisual terror” to challenge the state, survive censorship, and transform their sound in exile.

From the viral shockwave of “Death No More” to their quiet, heartbreaking album “Coming Home,” this is the story of rebellion, escape, and what happens when your country becomes too dangerous to stay in.
