Kent has a background as a guitar player in several black metal bands. Since 2012 he has produced electronic music inspired by cyberpunk culture and with inspiration from movies like Akira, Ghost In The Shell and The Running Man. He uses a variety of software synths in his productions, such as the emulators of old vintage synths like the OB-X or the CS-80. Since his debut EP Night Driving Avenger he has released four full-length albums, the latest of which is The Uncanny Valley on the Blood Music label, and has performed several live shows. Several of his tracks were featured in the 2012 game Hotline Miami and its 2015 sequel Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number. Perturbator's EP Sexualizer was released in part to officially release the song "Miami Disco" and as a way to thank the developers of Hotline Miami. The success of the Hotline Miami games resulted in a greater amount of exposure to a mainstream audience.
Perturbator released his fourth full-length album The Uncanny Valley on May 6, 2016 through Blood Music on a range of formats including Digibook CD, vinyl, and cassette tape. The album was met with generally positive reviews, with MetalSucks and Bloody Disgusting both writing in praise of it. Some versions of the album also included a bonus EP, with Kent writing that "The first three songs complement the themes covered within The Uncanny Valley, and the final track—'VERS/US'—is a demo from The Uncanny Valley writing sessions that fits the mood and atmosphere of the album but didn't quite make it into the final cut." Bloody Disgusting gave the album 5/5 and wrote that The Uncanny Valley "is sure to not only please fans of the genre but also win over newcomers."
Kent became interested in music in part due to the influence of his parents, who are journalists and rock music critics. His parents were themselves musicians and had a tech trance band when they were young, which influenced Kent to take an interest in synthesizers.
Kent also has a side project called L'Enfant De La Forêt

Humans Are Such Easy Prey
Perturbator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It can't be reasoned with
It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear
And it absolutely will not stop, ever
Until you are dead
The lyrics describe an unstoppable force that cannot be reasoned or bargained with, and is completely devoid of human emotions such as pity, remorse, and fear. The repetition of the lines emphasizes the relentlessness of this force, stating that it "absolutely will not stop, ever," until its target is dead. This force could represent anything from a person's inner demons to a physical threat, and the lyrics suggest that, unlike human adversaries who may give in to reason or vulnerability, this force will always press forward until it has achieved its goal.
The repetition of this menacing statement creates an eerie, hypnotic effect, suggesting that the threat is always present and looming, and there is no escaping it. The lyrics could also imply that humans, with all their vulnerabilities and emotions, are easy prey for such an unstoppable force. The lyrics create a sense of fear and tension, emphasizing the primal instincts humans possess when threatened with a force much greater than themselves.
