When investigating the origins of The Nemesis Theory one is forced to accept the oft-ignored multi-dimensional continuity subconsciously defining the human experience. The Nemesis Theory are four autonomous micro circuited nervous systems existing as a conjoined entity in the subspace region of quantum reality. The psionic link they posses was forged while testing experimental neuro-linguistic conditioning exercises for the secretive Dark Matter Industries. The band initially agreed to participate in the study to raise beer money.
