DIVIDE! MERCH AVAILABLE NOW! Across the wastelands of Bethesda’s Fallout series, wherever that radioactive fog may spread, The Children of Atom can be found. Their belief in the divinity of Atomic energy, their almighty Deity ‘Atom’ and their hope for ‘Division, where creation is born anew in atomic blasts, make them some of the most interesting characters across the series for me and I’ve wanted to write about them for the longest time. In fact, I had the idea for this track WAY back when I first was challenged by Ninethie to write a Fallout track, but at the time I opted to write about Robert House as it was a much more achievable project for me. In the years since then, the world has become a pretty scary place and being as I am, compelled to use my work and the worlds of games to hold a lens to our own, I couldn’t help but draw parallels between the Children of Atom and their blessed ‘Division’ and the world today. Science denialism, selective facts and the use of societal division as a recruiting tactic for extreme movements and ideas. It’s a lot more politically charged than much of my previous works and I did my best to make something still riotously fun regardless of the deeper themes I wanted to explore. This project is the product of the hard work and dedication of SO many people all working to make my dumb ideas manifest. I’ve had to keep this description shorter than usual just to leave room for the credits! I couldn’t have put this together without every single one of them. If you enjoy this project, please give every one of them your love and appreciation!
