FiXT is proud to announce the signing of DEATH X DESTINY, a new project from The Browning’s Jonny McBee in collaboration with his wife, Moon. Their upcoming single “Defiance” drops on October 6. DEATH X DESTINY will explore the more melodic, anthemic rock side of The Browning and debuts Moon as a vocalist.

“DXD is my dream project. Taking the anthemic synth rock side of The Browning, and giving that sound its own identity is just awesome.” – Jonny McBee, The Browning

“We’re excited to give Jonny (aka The Browning) the creative freedom to build a new sonic world with DEATH X DESTINY. He’s developed a cult-following for The Browning and with iconic songs like “Skybreaker” garnering their own dedicated fanbase, it made sense for him to build a whole project in that direction and allow The Browning to go even heavier. He’s establishing a whole new world for his fans to explore and we’re proud to give him a home to do it.” – James Rhodes, FiXT Vice President & Co-Founder

“DEATH X DESTINY is a really special and unique project that showcases our diversity of sound. The group has elements of synthwave, rock, trance, and metal all rolled into one. They really have a sound that is representative of FiXT’s widely varied roster, which is super cool to me. They are a breath of fresh air in the metal scene and I’m super stoked to see how far we can help this project grow!” – Dave Hansen, FiXT A&R Manager

DEATH X DESTINY is an electronic-rock duo founded by The Browning frontman Jonny McBee and debut singer, Moon, in 2023.

FiXT is proud to announce the exclusive signing of Beyond Unbroken, the Rock / Metalcore project from original co-founding members of Escape The Fate – Monte and Michael Money. The signing kicks off with a release of the Deluxe Edition of Running Out Of Time and will continue with new music over a multi-album deal over the next several years. Beyond Unbroken may be familiar to FiXT fans having made an appearance on the FiXT Radium: Nova compilation with their innovative single “With Or Without Me” in 2021.

“The Running Out Of Time Deluxe Edition album also features a remix of “Running Out Of Time” courtesy of labelmate The Anix, along with some additional bonus tracks and a re-mastered version of the title track with updated production.

“I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated fans who’ve eagerly awaited for what’s next from Beyond Unbroken. I’m happy to say that the wait is finally over! It brings me great joy to announce that the band has officially signed with FiXT,

We’re thrilled to present the Running Out of Time (Deluxe Edition). This special edition features a new remaster from the title track, accompanied by brand-new instrumentals for your enjoyment.

A big thank you goes out to the incredible team at FiXT. We are genuinely excited about the future ahead for Beyond Unbroken.

Stay tuned this is just the beginning!” – Michael Money, Beyond Unbroken

“This is a group that we’ve been wanting to work with for a long time! When they sent us their newest material we were blown away at the quality. I later came to find out that their new stuff is all self-produced, which is even more impressive. This band has a great variety of genres/styles from track to track. They also have a strong ability to create heavy music, with super memorable hooks. Beyond Unbroken has the potential to be amongst the likes of Bad Omens, Spiritbox, and all your favorite modern metalcore that you know and love!” – Dave Hansen, FiXT A&R Manager

“FiXT is extremely proud to be working with Beyond Unbroken. This brings a new sound to the FiXT roster as we expand our depth in Rock, Punk, and Metal. The story behind this project and the strife from which it was born as a metamorphosis for Michael and Monte coming from Escape The Fate in a major label deal with Interscope to starting fresh as an independent project is one to behold. They have faced staggering obstacles and emerged as Beyond Unbroken. We can’t wait to see how far they will go in the coming years. “ – James Rhodes, FiXT Vice President & Co-Founder

“I first heard Beyond Unbroken in 2020 and we were able to release one of their tracks on the Radium: Nova compilation in 2021. Their music is full of memorable hooks, modern production and great songwriting. With that said you can understand why I’m excited to announce they have officially joined the FiXT family.” – Klayton, FiXT President & Co-Founder

Out today with the Deluxe Edition is a new remaster of the title track “Running Out Of Time.”

In a world of boundaries Beyond Unbroken refuses to be defined by one genre. Founded by former Escape The Fate members, brothers Monte and Michael Money, the band habitually crosses the lines, mixing genres the way an artist mixes paint with results that often defy expectation.

They released their first single “Under Your Skin” in 2015 and debuted their first independent EP Don’t Wake The Dead in 2017 with producer Matt Good of From First To Last. The EP was well received with the animated video “Overdose” earning millions of views upon release. Their first debut album, Running Out of Time, followed in 2020 with singles earning millions of streams and premiering on Alt Press.

On April 29, 2020, the band covered Lil Peep and Twenty One Pilots mashup, “Falling Down + Heathens” and it remains the band’s most streamed track to this day. In 2021 the band released a one-off single “With Or Without Me” on the FiXT Radium Compilation which eventually led to the band signing with the label in 2023.

Running Out Of Time (Deluxe Edition) is now available from FiXT.

“This Is A New Era For The Browning”
– Jonny McBee

FiXT is thrilled to announce the signing of Synth Metal / Deathcore three piece outfit The Browning. The signing marks a huge milestone for both the band and FiXT.

“This is a new era for The Browning,” explains Jonny McBee. “This will be heavier and more intense than ever.” Intent on keeping this promise The Browning already has a string of releases planned for release with FiXT, the earliest hitting the airwaves in late September. Led by frontman Jonny McBee, The Browning has undergone a transformation, embracing a “New Era” that promises to be bigger, better, and heavier than ever before and introduces the band’s line-up now comprising of three familiar names: Jonny McBee, Hardcore Keem, and Cody Stewart.

Jonny McBee, vocalist and songerwriter for The Browning, is a trailblazing presence in the metal scene, is also known for his role as the host and operator of the widely acclaimed “Burn This World Podcast,” which is set to make its triumphant return in the near future. Another plot twist to look forward to, Jonny McBee is set to embark on a parallel journey, launching a groundbreaking new side project: DEATH X DESTINY with FiXT in the near future.

Hardcore Keem, the band’s guitarist, brings his unique vision and sound to The Browning. Originally just a fan of the band, he officially joined The Browning on tour in 2022, now becoming a staple for the band’s future and marketing. Besides being in the band he’s also a heavy music influencer and promoter with over 300K in social reach, including 100K followers on Instagram alone and running his own podcast The Hardcore Keem Show.

Cody Stewart, drummer for The Browning is a seasoned musician with an impressive track record. As a mixing and mastering engineer, his clients include Nothing Nowhere, Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy), Epic Games (Fortnite), Lorna Shore, and many others. His expertise in mixing and mastering heavy music is a key point of the band’s intensity moving into this new era.

“The Browning is FiXT’s largest signing to date, and we are super excited to have them! They are a staple in the “electronic-core” genre that came about in the 2010’s era, and it’s an honor to have them on the roster. They are a huge inspiration for many electronic metal bands that have come about in the last ten years. It’s been great working with them so far, and I’m so excited to see how their sound evolves in their time with FiXT.”– Dave Hansen, FiXT A&R

The Browning has consistently pushed the boundaries of music, fusing genres and redefining heavy sounds. The band’s new line-up sets the stage for an electrifying chapter in their journey.

“Jonny and The Browning have been on my radar for long time. I loved his 2019 remix of my Celldweller track “A Matter of Time”. Fast forward 4 years and here we are… excited to announce he’s officially joining the FiXT family.” – Klayton, FiXT President & Co-Founder

The Browning is an electronic metal band founded by Jonny McBee as a solo project in 2005. In 2010 The Browning transitioned into a full band and has toured the world and put out five albums. The Browning‘s current lineup is Jonny McBee, Cody Stewart, and Hardcore Keem.

Atmospheric and questioning the track jumps to an intense rap performance from Antonio intertwined with brutal vocals from Celldweller.

“This redux of ‘Superheroes’ has got it all!” explains Soul Extract. “Antonio the Great’s powerful lyrics that dig up that lost hero inside of you even more, Celldweller’s superb synth modulations, intense vocals, and production overhaul all brought a new energy I didn’t know was possible! To have these talented artists share a piece of themselves on this track is something truly incredible and I can’t imagine this new edition of Superheroes turning out better. Thanks to all!!”

FiXT Signs Coping Method, Debuts Brutal Metal Single “Hypomania”

FiXT is proud to announce the signing of Alternative, Metalcore, Metal, Rock trio Coping Method and debuting their first original single with FiXT “Hypomania.”

Brutal from the start “Hypomania” wastes no time setting the stage. Hard core industrial guitar riffs clash with turbulent rhythms for a fierce onslaught that doesn’t stop. Add in distorted synthesizers and a brutal vocal performance and Coping Method sets their foundation with an epic firestorm. Strap in, the ride starts now. “I want it. I need it.”

Also re-releasing with the debut single are two previous singles from the band, “Trauma” and “Vice Grip” each following the idea of bringing awareness for mental health issues, social issues, and other causes they band believes in.

“I’m super excited to be working with Coping Method on their upcoming album. They have an extremely unique sound that I feel is really pushing the boundaries of modern metal/electronic music. This is what FiXT is all about! They aren’t just a metal band with a few synths laid subtly under their guitars. These guys are really infusing electronics into their songs in a way that not many bands are doing. Couple that with extremely aggressive vocals, and catchy melodies like they have – and you’ve got something insanely special. I also genuinely appreciate their passion and storytelling in regards to mental health!” – Dave Hansen, FiXT A&R

FiXT previously re-released SURVIVE: Unit 01 EP, the groups’ four track EP originally released in 2022 and featuring four Rock singles, each a piece of their self described Unit 01.

Amidst the distorted undertones of low-tuned guitars, mangled synths, bludgeoning percussion, and ambient soundscapes, Lead Instructors Tyler Simpson (vocals) communicates each exercise to our trainees with both sonorous and restrained timbres. Fellow instructors Jed Stark (Guitar) and Chad Wunderle (Drums) help provide the sonic foundation for each trainee to integrate themselves into.

MISSION: Being a responsible citizen in our community is paramount to us as an organization. Future campaigns include raising money for mental health awareness, social issues and other causes we believe in.

Starting with heavy and thrashing “The Creed” declaring ‘death is not the creed that will define you,’ and continuing through the equally aggressive “Goner,” taking a moment to breathe in the ethereal “Ghosts,” and finally culminating in the combative “Like A Slave,” Coping Method explores the human experience through a heavy metal lens. Each single goes on the offensive and the EP as a whole is a defiant push against the status quo, a refusal to accept that this is where it ends, that this is where you stop and give up. Even the softer “Ghosts” pushes listeners to ‘relinquish the fear inside.’ The SURVIVE: Unit 01 EP is only a taste of things to come and already shows off the trio’s tremendous scope and talent. Strap in, the ride starts now.

What is Coping Method?

Coping Method is an organization that communicates through the audio and visual medium to spread Mental Health awareness. Each Trainee that enrolls will complete numerous exercises that tackle various issues in life. Whether a trainee is dealing with unresolved grief or a harrowing depressive episode, our exercises are designed for both comfort and release.

Each Exercise is compiled into Units, which are then compiled into its respective Curriculum as a whole. Those wishing to enroll and become certified must complete each exercise. We have designated three instructors to visually and audibly present them

Daedric Offers Up Debut Album Mortal The Altar Of Electronic Metal, Available For Pre-Order

Daedric has announced their upcoming Alternative Industrial Metal album Mortal is now available for pre-order from FiXT.

The Texas-based metal venture Daedric’s debut album Mortal is a feral offering to the altar of Electronic Metal. From the triumphant entry of “Wretched” the band burst onto the scene with a stunning vocal performance from Hope in their alluring music video for the debut single. “Wretched” set the stage for their next singles, the alluring yet brutal “Sepulchre” and the heavy industrial “Dawnbreaker” each with their own accompanying music video setting the tone and quality the band wanted to share. The album was produced by Geoff Rockwell (Memphis May Fire, Crown the Empire) and Clay Schroeder, with all but “Wretched” being mixed by renowned mixer Joey Sturgis, also known for his work with Of Mice & Men, Asking Alexandria, and We Came As Romans.

Whether you’re an Elder Scrolls fan or just a music lover, Daedric leads you on a quest of apparent destiny with music that ranges from unrelenting breakdowns, incorporating hypnotic beats and cinematic transitions, coupled with vocals that range from ethereal to brutal, savage to soulful. The album performs a delicate dance between ethereal and ominous, delicate and harsh building up to new heights with each new single Mortal encapsulates the human condition in its entirety. We are flawed, we are brief, but we are vital.

Singles from the album have already gained traction across multiple platforms including Spotify features on multiple official playlists, such as: All New Metal, New Blood, Heavy Queens, Epic & Melodic, Industrial Metal, The Core, Alternative Metal, Kickass Metal, Rock Hard, All New Rock, Progressive Metal, misfits 2.0 and more. Other notable editorial support has been seen from VEVO across Rock and Metal music video playlists on VEVO’s YouTube & App playlists as well as VEVO’s linear TV programming channels. The project has also quickly resonated with an international audience with strong support from the Eastern Europe platforms VK and Yandex supporting multiple tracks across the platform’s respective Rock and Metal playlists.

Daedric has collaborated with labelmates Celldweller, Fight The Fade, Andromida, Void Chapter, and Kaixo for a gamut of well-received singles that have also pulled in more fans across the world. After dropping a variety of well-received singles, music videos, and collaborations Daedric has amassed over 300K followers across all platforms, and scored mentions on Louder Sound, Punk Rocker, Metal Hammer, and Metal Injection. They’ve also gained notoriety on the Daedric Official Tik Tok Account covering the hit single “This Is Halloween.”

Upon Daedric‘s inception in Late 2020, they had a goal to create a dark Synthwave project that established a modern fantasy element that was lacking across the dystopian-filled genre. With Geoff’s captivating production, Clay’s syncopated riffs, and Kristyn’s hypnotic vocal delivery, “Wretched” was forged and set forth an inevitable sound. More importantly, it opened the doors for true exploration. Over the next year, Daedric would expand their writing across multiple genres, blending metal drums and industrial grooves with an amalgamation of synth, guitar, and orchestration, all leading to a diverse soundscape to showcase Kristyn’s immense vocal range.

Daedric explains, “Our goal was to create something unique and captivating, yet grounded in raw human emotion and I truly believe we accomplished that.” Mortal is not a predictable journey, much like the quests of Skyrim and Oblivion, it is bound by a fatal pulse. We are truly alive. We are ‘Mortal.'”

Daedric is an audacious creative venture from Dallas/Fort Worth-based vocalist and artist, Kristyn Hope. Daedric draws inspiration from an eclectic array of sources including David Bowie, Anthony Green of Circa Survive, Sia, and the popular open-world role-playing game series Elder Scrolls, from which the Daedric name is derived. As Daedric, Kristyn works closely with producers Geoff Rockwell and Clay Schroeder to develop a mix of throwback synths blended with contemporary rock and metal, forging a powerful sound that is uniquely her own.

“Titan”is out now on all platforms from FiXT.
