VNV Nation is Ronan Harris (electronics, lyrics, vocals) and Mark Jackson (drums). The name itself stands for Victory not Vengeance and, from the guys themselves…”The meaning behind this stylised motto is that one should strive to achieve, not sit in bitter regret.”
VNV Nation are originally from Dublin & London and are now based out of Hamburg. They skillfully combine elements of trance, synthpop and electronic body music (EBM), into what they call futurepop.

…from the official website:

word and sound

VNV Nation´s inspiration was originally the clash of modern and classical Europe cultures, where mythology and technology live in an uneasy fusion but this has since broadened to encompass a world view. The music ranges from electronic dance music to ballads and classical inspired music. Inspirations are taken from a wide range of styles including contemporary underground club culture, industrial and classical music. The lyrics draw on philosophy, literature, art, politics and different forms of symbolism. VNV Nation does not advocate any ideology. It is a metaphor for expression.
