OMNI [ULTRA] has arrived and is now available across all platforms from FiXT.
OMNI [ULTRA] features the original ten tracks of OMNI plus remixes from BIOHEX, Jonny McBee, Kaixo, OMNI [ULTRA] features the original ten tracks of OMNI plus remixes from BIOHEX, Jonny McBee, Kaixo, Kodeseven, Darksiderz, MACHINYST, and Zardonic, plus new single “OVERLORD” with SWARM and THE DEFECT. This upgraded two disc edition of their latest full-length creation is more than an album. It’s a visceral descent into a futuristic fusion of deathcore, industrial, EDM, hardstyle, drum & bass, and rave metal laced with industrial textures, cybernetic rage, and raw emotional fire.
The original OMNI was a visceral journey through the depths of deathcore, featuring ten powerful tracks, including collaborations with Nik Nocturnal and THE DEFECT. The album showcased some of The Browning’s heaviest songs to date, like “HIVEMIND” and “Poison,” which together have amassed over 3.5 million streams across all digital platforms. “Deceiver,” the third release from the album brings a blistering critique of the deceitful narratives perpetuated by those in power. Accompanied by an adrenaline-fueled official music video, “Deceiver” blends the explosive energy of metalcore with the dark, mechanical undertones of industrial and the raw emotion of deathcore and its inspiration – the iconic delivery found in Rammstein’s “Du Hast.” The explosive single “OMNI” featuring THE DEFECT, which premiered at Revolver Mag, served as a harbinger of the album’s fierce energy. The album ends with the ominous double capstone of singles “Come To Grips With Death and the End” and “Soul Drift” which flip a complete 180 while still maintaining the fierce vocals with “Soul Drift” illustrating the very definition of rave metal.

Known for his high-octane fusion of drum & bass, rock, and cinematic intensity, Toronto Is Broken (aka Christian Hoffmann) has carved a name for himself in the electronic scene with his emotionally raw production and genre-blending remixes. From remixing legendary artists like Celldweller, running his own label YANA, to surviving near-mechanical disaster on tour (don’t worry, the car made it… barely), Hoffmann has plenty of stories to share…

FiXT New Noise: Toronto Is Broken on Music and Milestones
Circle of Dust, the ‘90s industrial-metal project of artist/producer Celldweller, is back, announcing a pre-order for the anticipated 2-LP vinyl edition of Circle of Dust’s explosive 2016 comeback album, Machines of Our Disgrace, featuring the new single “Invisible World” out now from FiXT.
Originally released in 2016 after a nearly two-decade hiatus, Machines of Our Disgrace is Circle of Dust’s fifth full-length album and a powerful statement piece from Klayton, better known to many as Celldweller and Scandroid. The album marked a massive creative resurgence, fusing metal riffs, glitchy electronics, and raw industrial noise into a sound that’s equal parts nostalgic and forward-looking.
Machines of Our Disgrace isn’t just music, it’s a brutal mirror held up to humanity’s accelerating descent into technological dependence. Across 13 core tracks, the album unpacks themes of transhumanism, biohacking, surveillance, dehumanization, and the blurred line between evolution and manipulation. Tracks like “Contagion” and the title track “Machines of Our Disgrace” explore our surrender to the machine and the consequences of automation and blind progress. “alt_Human” and “Neurachem” dive into the ethics of gene editing and synthetic enhancement. “Hive Mind” and “Humanarchy” challenge the illusion of individuality in a digitally homogenized world. On the hauntingly emotional “Outside In,” Klayton shifts gears, revealing a fragile, human core beneath the circuitry with acoustic guitars, layered harmonies, and cinematic sound design.
The album was unflinching, both sonically and lyrically, combining dark, aggressive, and energetic moods into a cohesive and cinematic listening experience. It’s a definitive work of industrial rock and a bold creative milestone in Klayton’s expansive career.
Now Machines of Our Disgrace is available as a 2-disc vinyl, featuring the full original album and an entire second disc of original new songs and remixes from Sebastian Komor, The Anix, The Plague, Zardonic, and Voicians. It also features the new singles “Invisible World” and “Digital Messiah” showcasing Klayton returning to his early 1992 roots of the self-titled Circle Of Dust album, taking inspiration from “Technological Disguise” – a nod to his earlier work.
Released today with the pre-order announcement, “Invisible World” is a defiant anthem that launches listeners headfirst into a dark, dystopian industrial rebellion. The track delivers a high-octane blend of industrial metal, thrash, and gritty cybernetic rock. The single continues Circle of Dust’s legacy of genre-defiant sound design and razor-edged commentary, combining the aggressive pulse of industrial metal, the precision of thrash, and the dark energy that’s become the project’s signature. Longtime fans will find themselves back in familiar mechanical chaos, while new listeners will be slammed by the track’s fierce modern production and unrelenting pace. It’s a track that doesn’t ask questions, it kicks down the door.

Daedric has announced their sophomore album As The Light Left is available to pre-order from FiXT and releases on October 17, 2025.
As The Light Left is an album forged in both chaos and catharsis. With an unrelenting blend of nu-metal grit, cinematic darkness, and raw vulnerability, Daedric pushes their sound further than ever before—channeling pain, nostalgia, and primal fury.
As The Light Left is an album forged in both chaos and catharsis. With an unrelenting blend of nu-metal grit, cinematic darkness, and raw vulnerability, Daedric pushes their sound further than ever before—channeling pain, nostalgia, and primal fury.
The album opens with “The Other Terror,” fueled by a mental breakdown and relentless guitar riffs keeping the chaos sharp and direct. With unnerving screams and a tempo that mirrors the energy of fan-favorite “Nirn,” it sets the tone for an album that refuses to hold back. “Sand Tiger” stomps onto the scene like a nu-metal time capsule from the early 2000s, gritty, groovy, and scratched to hell. Inspired by the Cave of Wonders from Aladdin and built from a Linkin Park-esque synth loop, the track fuses live and electronic drums with existential lyrical weight. Then there’s “Callous”, a song that almost didn’t survive. The track was set to be delivered to the mixing engineer when the band collectively decided to tear it apart and rebuild it from the ground up. What emerged was a modern, emotionally devastating anthem about betrayal and self-inflicted retribution. It’s Daedric at their most emotionally and sonically unpredictable. “Night Mother”, is the song that truly marks the start of the album’s creation and all the turbulence that came with it to become a cornerstone of the album’s tone: brooding, cinematic, and deeply human.
Throughout As The Light Left, Daedric strips away polish in favor of pain, letting raw emotion bleed through genre-bending production and ferocious vocals. It’s not an album of easy answers or tidy resolutions. It’s the sound of collapse and creation, of dancing on the edge of the fire, torn between fury and fragility. Born from breakdowns, creative tension, and fearless reinvention, As The Light Left is both a cathartic purge and a statement of artistic intent: Daedric refined, but still untamed.
