Formed in Orange County, California in 1991, Dystopia was a sludge metal band, popular in both the heavy metal and crust punk scenes, due in large part to their bleak, misanthropic imagery. Lyrics often dealt with human emotions and social or political issues such as environmentalism, racial equality, substance abuse, and animal rights.
