LENTOxVIOLENTO is an anthem to the unstoppable pursuit of growth and progress. It’s the supremacy of the fast lane, an ideology of speed freaks. It’s the point of no return, where the future becomes unpredictable and uncontrollable. A gamble on the unknown, a wager on the impossible. It's a survival strategy, a way of overruling the forces that shape our lives. It’s the determination that the only way out is through; by massively speeding up and intensifying until something breaks; by thrusting forth through the unknown & uncharted at staggering pace; by punching through the threshold of potentiality; by shattering and splintering into sublimation.
We want to push the pedal to the metal, to kickstart the igniter and choke the evaporator. We want to override the underfloor. We want burning rubber & fluorescence; supercharging afterburners and strangulated horsepower. We are not interested in reforming or preserving. We are loyal to no movement or ambition. We are loyal only to speed itself.
