Led by gunslinging leader King Mob, The Invisibles are the world’s psychic, magic and interdimensional defense against the Archons of Outer Church, who desire to homogenize society and enslave the minds of human beings the world over as a food source.

You’re sitting in a room with a speaker in each corner one plays Nevermind the Bollocks, Here come the Sex Pistols, another has Jesus and the Mary Chain’s Darklands, the next has Straight Outta Compton, and the final one throws out Mongolian throat singing.
