VNV Nation, which stands for Victory Not Vengeance, is an industrial music group from London that combines elements of electronic body music (EBM), Industrial music and synthpop into what they call futurepop. The members are Ronan Harris and Mark Jackson.

The group's first album, Advance and Follow, was released in 1995. This was a mixture of danceable synthesizer melodies and harsh electronic beats firmly in the tradition of middle-era EBM, supplemented with elements of orchestral music. Their next release, 1998's Praise the Fallen, continued largely in this vein, and they began to enjoy a larger degree of commercial success.
