With DEATH X DESTINY, THE DEFECT brings their bold and emotive vision to the stage exploring a range of influences while pushing sonic boundaries.

With tracks like “Broken Minds,” a haunting reflection of emotional fragmentation, “Lost In The Shadows,” a darky and sultry duet balancing darkness and light, “Dreamwalker,” an electrifying anthem blending ethereal melodies and brutal breakdowns, and “Eternal (What Do You See?)”, shifting between serene to savage DEATH X DESTINY is a testament to THE DEFECT’s innovative approach, combining gritty guitars, dynamic vocals, and atmospheric synths to create a uniquely powerful and emotionally resonant sound. With their irresistible energy and raw intensity THE DEFECT continues to redefine the landscape of electronic-rock.

The Plague Announces New Album The Divided States Of Hysteria Available For Pre-Order

January 29, 2025
Artist News, Label News
Electronic Rock, FiXT Music, Label News

+ New Single “Ugly On The Inside”

By Leasia Korbel

The Plague has announced his upcoming album The Divided States Of Hysteria is now available for pre-order from FiXT. The full album releases on February 28, 2025.

The Divided States Of Hysteria is a sonic manifesto diving into themes of addiction, identity, societal pressures, self-reflection, and the complex duality of human nature. Synths, guitars, bass, and drums collide to create an intense sonic palette that mirrors the album’s themes of internal and external chaos. The Plague combines raw and vulnerable lyrics, with complex soundscapes showcasing his unparalleled ability to blend emotive lyrics with powerful instrumentation. The album captures The Plague’s signature blend of rock, hard rock, and alternative influences, delivering tracks that are as energetic as they are thought-provoking. From powerful synths to driving guitars and thunderous drums, the instrumentation provides a dynamic backdrop for lyrics that tackle deeply personal and universal themes.

Featuring singles like “Man Machine or Beast” that challenges the impact of technology on our relationships, while “Predator” confronts humanity’s darker instincts. “Float Right On By” is a poignant reflection on selfishness and the search for redemption and “Clean Slate” is a heartfelt anthem of renewal and forgiveness. While “Right Back Down” is a firestorm featuring thrashing guitars, brutal vocals, as an intense exploration of a relationship that ends without warning. The Divided States Of Hysteria is a deep and honest exploration of the human condition.

Releasing with the pre-order announcement is the new single “Ugly on the Inside.” The track dives into the destructive nature of narcissism, self-reflection, and the world’s betrayal of God. Originally a pop-punk demo, it was reimagined as “modern dungeon pop-punk,” becoming one of The Plague’s creepiest and most impactful songs to date. 

The Plague explains further, “This song I wrote about a famous narcissist I knew/know, and about how destructive his ego was to everyone around him. But after a bit I realized that I could see similar aspects in myself. I changed the song from pointing a finger at him to pointing a finger at myself and then eventually made it about the worlds betrayal of God. The demo was very pop punk and I wanted to make it newer. I looked at the lyrics and thought “I want to make this song modern dungeon pop punk!” After an overhaul, the song was way creepier and might be one of my favorite “The Plague” songs.”

By Leasia Korbel

“2024 was a year of transformation, growth, and unforgettable music at FiXT. With nearly 100 releases throughout the year including 15 full-length albums, our roster celebrated many career high moments – from music and merchandise sales to streaming, monthly listeners and sync placements, to editorial playlist features and press coverage. While the public focus remains on the artists and music itself, all of our achievements wouldn’t be possible without a great team working diligently behind the scenes, so I must take a moment to acknowledge their contributions across administration, distribution, marketing, publicity, e-commerce, social media, manufacturing, creative design (art & video), customer service, and so many other areas. Special thanks to everyone who contributed to a great 2024: Klayton, Kurtis, Travis, Michelle, Chantal, Whitney, Alex, Leasia, Summer, Nicole, Christian, Judith, Tyler, Cory, Tony, Dave, Josh, Reality, Pablo.” – James Rhodes (FiXT, President & Co-Founder)

February 16, 2024 Celldweller Released
The Definitive Edition Digital Album

“I had no idea that making the debut Celldweller album 20 years ago would ultimately be the thing that would change the trajectory of my career. From every song being licensed to Film, TV, and Video Games, to worldwide tours, and launching my own record label, FiXT, which would go on to support the careers of 50+ artists over the last 17 years. Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, we have curated the ‘Definitive Edition’ which includes a brand new remastering of the original album along with dozens of bonus tracks, rarities, remixes and re-imaginations of the original songs. 

To those who have been listening over the past 20 years, I truly appreciate your support and plan on making a lot more Celldweller music over the next 20. Stay tuned. :):”
 – Klayton (Celldweller)

February 20, 2024 FiXT Signed Hard Rock Four-Piece ENMY

“I remember hearing ENMY for the first time and being immediately hooked. Their songwriting, production, and ability to blend electronics and metal seamlessly, made it obvious to me that they would be great fit as part of the FiXT roster. Dig into the deluxe edition of their debut album ‘Breaking Down’ and give them a follow on socials to keep up with new music coming soon.” – Klayton, (FiXT President & Co-Founder)

FiXT signed Cincinnati, Ohio 4-piece Hard Rock band ENMY for a multi-album deal. To celebrate, FiXT is rereleased a deluxe edition of the group’s debut album Breaking Down featuring their hit songs “Clarity”, “Demon Eyes” and “Burn” and a new cinematic mix of “Never Healing.”
“When we set out as a band we were dedicated to the mindset of being independent. We wanted to always have the freedom to do what we wanted. We also wanted anyone that was involved with our band to share our passions for creating something special, so we have always been extremely careful about the team we have around us. James reached out to us a couple years ago, I believe it was right after Never Healing was released in 2020. We had remained in contact ever since and it wasn’t until we began speaking again in 2023 that we really became familiar with who FiXT was and what they represent. It’s funny how everything comes together, but we are extremely happy to join the FiXT family. When we really began piecing everything together it was clear that we aligned on everything in terms of direction, music, and brand. The best is yet to come from ENMY and FiXT will be a big part of that.” – ENMY

March 22, 2024 Daedric Releases Mortal Deluxe

If you thought Daedric’s release of Mortal was complete back in August of 2023, strap in. The ride is about to get a rocky. Daedric has released their Mortal Deluxe and it’s now available across all DSPs from FiXT. 

“Mortal Deluxe is the final quest. An immense experience the listener deserves and a rousing conclusion to my debut installment,” says Daedric.
“I’m very grateful to SWARM and Voicians for their incredible remixes of ‘Alchemy’ and ‘Coldharbour,'” explains Daedric. “I really feel that it completes my vision for “Mortal” as a full-spectrum musical journey. From Metal, Electronic, Pop and Rock. It’s all there.”

March 29, 2024 FiXT Signs Alt-Cyber-Pop-Metal Artist Izzy Reign

“Hearing Izzy Reign for the first time I was immediately hooked by the range of her powerful voice, the production and the songwriting. Me and the whole crew at FiXT were excited when we officially signed a deal with Izzy to bring her into the FiXT family. I’ve recently listened to the demos for the full album and my jaw was on the floor. I can already tell the album is gold and I think you guys are going to love it.” – Klayton, FiXT President & Co-Founder

“Stoked to be a part of the FiXT family. This is a killer fit and I’m looking forward to these future projects together.” – Izzy Reign
In 2023 Izzy came to the attention of  FiXT, through the discovery of her independent release, “Broken By Design”, which showcased a new edge to Izzy’s sound. Signing on for a multi-album deal, Izzy Reign is now set to release her debut album with FiXT in 2025. 

April 5, 2024 Young Medicine
Releases Sophomore Album Cold Blooded

Metal. Synthwave. Haunting. The X-Files. Young Medicine‘s latest album Cold Blooded runs an epic gauntlet of genres.
Young Medicine asks, “Have you ever been stalked online by someone you barely know? We delved into the one-sided parasocial relationships people have with those they follow online—how people feel entitled to a constant window into your life and communication based on this idea they have of you. We have received some crazy messages and even in-person encounters of this sort over the past few years and wrote this song from the perspective of the “stalker,” stylistically pulling from metal, synthwave, and TRL-era boy band melodies.”

April 12, 2024 Void Chapter
Released The Deluxe Edition Of humAnIty

Void Chapter released their cinematic industrial rock album humAnIty Deluxe from FiXT.
The bonus track “The Sky is Falling” has had a long history – the original demo was written by Adam about 10 years ago, and has gone through several iteration changes. Placed on the shelf, brought back out and dusted off, re-shelved again, and re-inspired again and again. The final version that made it onto the Deluxe Edition of ‘humAnIty’ is something we are incredibly proud of, and marks a new musical direction for the project, with our own Brian Skeel taking the helm as lead vocalist,” explains Void Chapter.

June 25, 2024 Klayton (Celldweller/Scandroid) Announces
Bit Bot Media As New Entertainment Company
With Partner Josh Viola – Reveals Scandroid Video Game
In Development With FreakZone Games

“Josh and I have known each other for 13 years and have worked together on a number of projects, including the Blackstar novel and score for my album Wish Upon a Blackstar, the music video for ‘Unshakeable,’ Josh’s debut novel The Bane of Yoto, the Unioverse video game franchise, and so much more. It seemed inevitable that we’d form a company to do what we love on a much deeper level with Bit Bot, with an emphasis on our passion for multimedia.” – Klayton (Celldweller / Scandroid)
The first collaborative Bit Bot Media/FreakZone Games project will be Scandroid: Lost Horizon, a retro side scroller based on Klayton’s new Scandroid album, available in 2025. This game, featuring beat ‘em up action and platforming with a cyberpunk pixel aesthetic, will also include original music from Scandroid and be accompanied by a novella and comic co-written by Viola and Shirley Jackson Award-nominated writer Sean Eads.

July 12, 2024 James Rhodes Promoted To FiXT President

From Fan To Company President

“From the moment I met James, I knew he was one of a kind. His passion is not only evident through his words, but even more so through his actions. At the beginnings of Celldweller I was very protective of the brand and everything I had worked for. 

This kid James had been on my radar for several years and had proven himself as a die-hard fan. What more proof do you need than him spending his own money to wholesale boxes of CDs to resell them and share his passion for Celldweller to everyone he knew.  Although I was initially hesitant when he asked me to give him some official responsibility, I eventually handed over a small task to see what he could do and he streamlined it beyond my expectations. It was acutely obvious to me after 2 years of James working as an unpaid intern, that I needed to figure out a way to take the financial leap and secure him as my first official employee. 

We officially founded FiXT together in 2006 and over the years the company has grown exponentially. We developed multiple artists into independent successes, and built new systems we created ourselves, because there was no other model to follow. The level of trust I have in James has continued to grow over the past 20 years, and he’s never taken advantage of that. There’s no-one else I could envision naming the President of FiXT other than James.” 

– Klayton (FiXT Founder & CEO)

July 27, 2024 Mayhem On Madison

The very first annual Mayhem On Madison was held on July 27 in Covington, KY.  Epic only cracks the surface of this event and the FiXT staff descended en masse to bear witness to not one but two of our bands. It was a night to remember not just for the  FiXT staff who have offices spanning the country and rarely get to meet in person, but to see artists that we work with on a daily basis in their element was both a privilege and an honor. 

“What an amazing weekend building relationships with the FiXT team and artists! With so many of our team working remotely across the U.S. this was the first chance about half our staff has ever met in person. While we work closely together through text/email and video calls, being together in person was an amazing experience for everyone who made it out. 
Similarly, we got to meet 3 of our bands/artists (ENMY, Daedric, and Izzy Reign) in person and it gave us a new appreciation for being part of their team and getting to know them individually on a more personal level.
It was an inspiring weekend and a glimpse of future greatness that these artists hold and of the friendships, respect and joy that we can build in our professional lives.” – James Rhodes, (FiXT President)

Daedric ended her set with “Racing The Parallel”, her collaboration with Dal Av and a hooked crowd screaming for, “one more!”  To say that she’d be welcomed back is a bit of understatement. 
Amidst the blazing lights at the Madison theater ENMY shined like a beacon with their ability to create emotive music that resonates with fans both live and over the radio. Their set included fan favorites like “Silver Bullet” and “Clarity” as well as showcasing a new recently released single, “Broken Man” from their upcoming self titled album. Besides the amazing drum work from David Nester, Brady Reis’s vocal work is impressive live, mixed with bass guitarist and back up vocalist Trevor Johnson and guitarist Michael Quinn’s tantalizing guitar work, ENMY’s live show is a recipe for success. 

August 22, 2024 Celldweller Announces He Will Release
Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise Soundtrack

We’re excited to announce that Celldweller is recording the official soundtrack for the highly anticipated Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise graphic novel. The Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise Soundtrack will feature an all-new cover of Raziel’s Theme (“Ozar Midrashim”), original tracks, including a new song featuring Matt Heafy of Trivium, new original sound-design tracks with original game voice-over dialogue from the Legacy of Kain franchise, and remastered game scores. The record will be available on vinyl as part of the Kickstarter campaign for Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise, the first official new Soul Reaver story in two decades, since 2003’s Legacy of Kain: Defiance. The prequel graphic novel will provide new insight into the iconic Legacy of Kain lore.
“Respecting a revered franchise like Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver is paramount,” explains Klayton. “As we breathe new life into this iconic series, my goal was to ensure that the new music evokes the same mood and atmosphere that fans have cherished, while also offering fresh, innovative elements. It’s a delicate balance of honoring the original and pushing creative boundaries to deliver a Celldweller experience that feels both nostalgic and new.”

Debut Album Zero Hour

CANTERVICE steps up with a dark vision of the dystopian future with Zero Hour. “We stand on the precipice of an era where the shadows of oppression grow larger with every passing day. The world as we knew it is gone. Someone hit the reset switch and there were those standing by waiting to take advantage of the chaos,” explains CANTERVICE.
This debut album shines with CANTERVICE‘s unique blend of hard-hitting music and poignant lyrics, a perfect example of sonic story telling at its best. The band goes on to explain, “We’re now staring down the barrel of a future that threatens to annihilate our very humanity. We sacrifice privacy for convenience, freedom for the illusion of security, and our very lives are mirrored in cyberspace, available for anyone to exploit, whilst we’re too distracted by our modern vices to care. However, I stand before you to say that our destiny is not written in stone, but only if we stand not as victims, but as architects of our future. We must unite, and not under the banners that you see to the left and to the right, but as citizens of the Earth forging a new path together. Lift your heads and join us in bringing the dawn of a new era. We have worlds to win, and nothing left to lose. This is our new beginning. This is our Zero Hour.”

October 9, 2024 Coping Method
Releases Where Spirit Meets Bone

The final session from Coping Method is here. Intense. Brutal. Raw. The program delves into the darkest recesses of the human condition shining a light as it bombards listeners with a barrage of rock, metal, metalcore, Nu-metal, and alternative. Featuring an ensemble of genre-defying sessions including “Closing In” featuring the fierce vocal talents of the enigmatic REEBZ, “Underground” the utter embodiment of aggression, and the equally savage “Obliterate Me” with the band commenting simply, “It’s heavy” Where Spirit Meets Bone is a high octane ride through human resilience. 
The spirit of the album can be summed up with one quote from band member Jed Stark. “You are not alone; your struggles matter, and you deserve to receive help.”

October 11, 2024 ENMY Releases Self-Titled Sophomore Album

October 18, 2024 Fight The Fade Release New Album, Isolationist

Isolationist picks up where their 2022 release APOPHYSITIS left off, exploring the turbulent human psyche. This hard-hitting collection of 12 tracks delves into themes of solitude and self-reflection, delivering a sonic storm that is both fierce and energetic, as well as raw and captivating. From thunderous riffs, heavy rhythms, to brutal vocals, Isolationist captures the unbridled fury of hard rock and alternative metal, fused with the relentless energy of metalcore. Fight The Fade masterfully combines heavy riffs, infectious melodies, and emotionally charged lyrics, creating an album that is both fierce and introspective.
“’Isolationist’ is an album that was the result of a lot of trial and error to find what direction we wanted to go in,” explains Fight The Fade. “The title is also somewhat of a reflection of how we wrote it as well. We basically locked ourselves in a room, and threw a lot of ideas around to see what would stick. But the intentionality, and the attention to detail in this record are all a result of that time “isolating” ourselves to focus on these songs. I think we’ve created something really exciting, special, and meaningful.”

November 8, 2024 The Browning Dropped
New Deathcore Album OMNI

OMNI is a visceral journey through the depths of deathcore, featuring ten powerful tracks, including collaborations with Nik Nocturnal and THE DEFECT. The album showcases some of The Browning’s heaviest songs yet, 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. 
“MISERY.exe” featuring metal guitarist and YouTube sensation Nik Nocturnal is a high-octane fusion of crushing guitars, punishing drums, and apocalyptic synths, creating a dark, dystopian atmosphere that matches the intensity of the song’s theme. Synth, drums, guitar, and bass collide with Nik Nocturnal’s intense guitar work, in an electrifying soundscape, creating an industrial-tinged atmosphere that amplifies the track’s raw intensity. The track delivers an intense fusion of deathcore, metalcore, and industrial elements, creating a sonic assault that is both fierce and energetic, showcasing The Browning’s signature blend of metal and electronic influences that complements the hard hitting music video replete with ominous vibes and cyberpunk undertones.

November 15, 2024 Beyond Unbroken Unleashed Destruction

Beyond Unbroken’s latest effort is poised to be their most diverse and ambitious work yet, featuring a dynamic mix of rock, metal, alternative, and pop punk influences and features a contribution from enigmatic rap vocalist Whitney Peyton. The album’s lead-up has been marked by a string of powerful singles, each showcasing the band’s ability to traverse and innovate across multiple genres. Destruction takes inspiration from everything from the TV show YOU, horror movies, life experiences, old-school digital Gameboy lead sounds inspired by video games like Pokémon and Donkey Kong, incorporating real finger snaps, a nod to Michael Jackson’s iconic use of the technique in “Oceans” to Hans Zimmer’s work on Interstellar for “Lost and Broken.” 
“For ‘Destruction,’ my brother Monte Money showed me a vocal melody that sparked a flood of ideas,” explains Michael Money. “Inspired, I worked on it late into the night, incorporating synthesizers and creating a piano intro. The song evolved into a commentary on Artificial Intelligence, exploring the fears and potential consequences of A.I. advancements. The post-chorus features a whispered “Destruction,” adding to the eerie vibe. The lyrics in the breakdown serve as a warning about humanity’s future. This powerful theme led us to name both the song and the album “Destruction.”

Nov. 22, 2024 The Anix Released An
Electrifying Alt-Rock Album VOLTAGE

VOLTAGE channels the darker side of modern life, blending alternative and electronic rock into a brooding, atmospheric soundscape. The album explores themes of isolation and introspection, with tracks that feel like drifting through an empty city at night.
“Poltergeist” premiered at Revolver Mag a day ahead of the album. The single is driven by gritty guitars, pulsing synthesizers, and a thundering rhythm section of drums and bass. Pulling back to his rock roots The Anix delivers his signature blend of alternative rock and electronic atmosphere as the track explores themes of unresolved emotions for an emotive soundscape as only The Anix can deliver.

Somewhere deep in in the bowels of Atiria (aka the FiXT home office), a Christmas elf named Michelle resides. She originally fell off Santa’s sleigh as the story goes. But she brought good cheer and turned their merch production upside down, enabling them to hit not only homes on Atiria but offworld as well delivering your FiXTmas merch to an earthside residence near you.

What’s your favorite part about Christmas?
It’s hard to pick just one favorite! I love it all—the lights, the music, the decorations, the celebrations—and especially the gift-giving!

“Here are just a few of my favorite things passed down to me. My Hippie Santa was my uncle’s, the vintage Christmas tree was my grandma’s, and the elf belonged to my grandpa—he used to use it for his loose change, but I think it fits perfectly with my Christmas décor now.” – Michelle Steer

What’s your ultimate Christmas candy?
​​
Now this is impossible to choose just one… I’d say Sponge Candy if I can find it because it reminds me of when I was little & going with my Grandma to the corner store to get it & then I’d have to say my mom’s Buckeyes, which are decadent, peanut butter balls covered in chocolate that look like, well, a buckeye.

Do you decorate your home for Christmas?
Yes, and I’ve even been told that it looks like Christmas exploded in my house! We don’t decorate the outside, but when you walk inside, it’s like a Christmas wonderland! We’re talking Christmas in every room, and yes, even the bathroom is decorated! I know, I know, it’s a bit over the top, but there’s a lot of nostalgia behind many of my decorations. Many of them were passed down from family members who are no longer with us, and it brings me so much joy to put them out every year so that a little piece of them can still be with us during the holidays.

“Fun fact, I collect Lion King trinkets, so a tree dedicated to The Lion King is a must!!”
“This is our Blue Christmas tree—it’s a bit of a hodgepodge of ornaments collected over the years, and I couldn’t resist adding a Scandroid ornament! It fits perfectly with the theme of the tree!”

Do you decorate your FiXT office? How do your fellow FiXT workers(christmas haters I know they are there – looking at you, Kurtis) take the decorations?
I have not decorated my office, but the Christmas tunes have been jamming!! Believe it or not, Kurtis is not the Grinch of the office… Travis, I’m looking at you!!
 

What’s your favorite Christmas movie or TV show to watch? (And why?)
Again, I can’t pick just one! There are several movies I have going in the background while I’m decorating or wrapping presents. My go-tos are Home Alone, A Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, How the Grinch Stole Christmas & Elf! To me these are the classics & I can probably recite them all word for word! I just love em! And then I’m a sucker for the cheesy Hallmark movies, even though the plots are all the same, just set in different Christmas towns!


What’s your all-time favorite Christmas activity?
One of my favorite Christmas activities comes from my involvement with the Elks, an organization I’ve been a part of for 20 years. For the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of being invited to Fairfield, IA, to help with their Shop With a Hero event. The Elks partner with a local school to identify families in need and provide them with a little extra holiday magic.

We all gather at the Elks Lodge to assemble cookie trays, and then, along with local first responders in their emergency vehicles (lights and sirens included!), we head to Walmart for a shopping spree. Afterward, they host a pizza party with Santa, and every family leaves with overflowing cookie trays and gift cards to a local grocery store. This event is such a heartwarming experience! It truly gets me into the holiday spirit and serves as a great reminder that it is the season of giving.

“Here I am, as excited as can be, riding along with a bunch of awesome kids in a fire engine on our way to Walmart for this year’s Shop With a Hero event!”


What’s your secret to staying organized during a chaotic holiday ordering season?
Making lists & checking them twice! 😉

Are there any exclusive holiday-themed items fans love to grab this time of year?

I would say all of our Holiday Sweatshirts seem to be a big hit! Insert my shameless merch plug here… get yours before they disappear after the first of the year!! https://fixtstore.com/fixt-holiday-merch


What’s the busiest time of year for merch orders, and how does the holiday season compare?

My goodness, we’ve had a lot of busy times this year, and they all compare equally to the rush of the holiday season! Each pre-order we’ve done has kept us bustling around here! Just to mention a few, the Daedric Mortal Vinyl, both ENMY CDs, and The Browning OMNI CD, Vinyl, and merch drop all had us acting like Christmas elves this year!


How do you prepare for the influx of holiday orders? Are there any special challenges?

One thing that is a must do to prepare for all of the holiday orders is to order up on all of our shipping supplies. I guess the challenge would be where to put all of them sometimes, but as the orders come in, the supplies dwindle, and we just have to order them all again. It’s a vicious cycle!

What’s the most unique or creative holiday merch idea you’ve seen come to life?

This is not really a merch idea, but for the most creative holiday thing in my world right now, I’d have to say our holiday social media images! I love seeing all of the shenanigans that our little FiXT Bot keeps getting into with each holiday that rolls around! And I’d like to give a special shoutout to Summer for helping to bring all of our crazy ideas to life! She is a true gem & I wish I had even half of her creativity!!

What’s one thing you’d like fans to know about the effort that goes into managing the merch desk?

Hmm… Well, fans might think there are Bots running the merch desk, but I have to burst their bubble & let them know that real people are behind it all, working as hard as possible to get their orders out quickly! We take a lot of pride in getting their orders to them, and we truly appreciate them supporting the artists by shopping with us!

What’s the most exciting or unusual destination you’ve shipped merch to?

It’s hard to think of one particular destination, but anytime an order comes in from somewhere warm, I always wish I could just go with it! Hawaii, here I come!!


Do fans ever send notes or messages with their holiday orders? Any memorable ones?

It’s funny that you should ask! Sometimes fans will respond via email with little notes about their orders, & occasionally we’ll get some fan mail. But something interesting happened recently that was a bit out of the ordinary! One of our top fans ordered a Scandroid Monochrome Notebook, which isn’t strange, but then they wrote a note in it and shipped it back to us. Who knows, maybe I’ll write my own note in it & send it back out so we can become notebook pen pals!

Do you have a personal favorite item in the merch lineup that you think makes a great holiday gift?

I love our All Over Print Zip-Up Hoodies… you can’t go wrong with gifting either the Celldweller or Scandroid Hoodies or any of our Blankets! They are all so cozy & are the perfect gift for wintertime!


Would you rather battle 100 gingerbread man sized santas? Or one giant santa sized gingerbread man?

I’m gonna go with one giant Santa sized gingerbread man because I do not want to fight a bunch of Santas and end up on the naughty list!

The Anix’s New Album VOLTAGE Has Arrived+ MERCH!!

November 22, 2024
Artist News
The Anix, Voltage

The Anix has announced his album VOLTAGE is out now from FiXT.

VOLTAGE channels the darker side of modern life, blending alternative and electronic rock into a brooding, atmospheric soundscape. The album explores themes of isolation and introspection, with tracks that feel like drifting through an empty city at night. Gritty guitars and haunting synths weave together to create a melancholic, yet immersive, experience. With singles “Gravity” & “Shadow,” VOLTAGE showcases The Anix at his most introspective, crafting a sound that delves deep into the shadows of the urban experience. “Sinking Alone” is a captivating nod to ’90s grunge while also exploring contemporary themes of isolation. “PANIC” blends synth, drums, guitar, and bass to create a sound that is both expansive and deeply introspective, offering listeners a gateway into the artist’s private experiences. “CRAWL, a collaboration with Julien-K is a track that pays homage to their early 2000s roots while pushing the boundaries of modern alternative rock. 

Finding inspiration from iconic bands like HUM, Weezer, Failure, and STP, ‘90s grunge, and the 2000s, and featuring an appearance from Julien-K, VOLTAGE is more than just an album—it’s a journey through the darker side of modern life. From the introspective depths of “Sinking Alone” to the haunting resonance of “Gravity,” The Anix has crafted an emotionally charged soundscape as only he is able to capture it. The Anix invites fans to join him on a dark odyssey, where alternative and electronic rock converge to create a brooding, atmosphere that lingers long after the music fades.

Releasing with the album is “Poltergeist” driven by gritty guitars, pulsing synthesizers, and a thundering rhythm section of drums and bass. Pulling back to his rock roots The Anix delivers his signature blend of alternative rock and electronic atmosphere as the track explores themes of unresolved emotions for an emotive soundscape as only The Anix can deliver. The single premiered ahead of the album at Revolver Mag.


“When I write songs, I step into a world that’s part fantasy and part brutal truth, exposing thoughts and struggles I’d never share with anyone. The lyrics to ‘POLTERGEIST’ take us through dark moments we fight to survive, and the music spans a wide spectrum of power, restraint, and melody, mirroring the rollercoaster of emotions someone might feel throughout the day. ‘Poltergeist’ channels my rage, shame, and battle to hold on, giving voice to those who, like me, aren’t comfortable talking about these things in real life.” – The Anix

The complete track listing for VOLTAGE is:

  1. Disarm
  2. CRAWL (feat. Julien-K)
  3. XRAY
  4. Gravity
  5. Sinking Alone

Beyond Unbroken Unleashes Destruction + MERCH!!

November 15, 2024
Artist News, Press
Beyond Unbroken, Destruction

Beyond Unbroken have announced their sophomore album Destruction is out now from FiXT.

Beyond Unbroken’s latest effort is poised to be their most diverse and ambitious work yet, featuring a dynamic mix of rock, metal, alternative, and pop punk influences and features a contribution from enigmatic rap vocalist Whitney Peyton. The album’s lead-up has been marked by a string of powerful singles, each showcasing the band’s ability to traverse and innovate across multiple genres.  Destruction takes inspiration from everything from the TV show YOU, horror movies, life experiences, old-school digital Gameboy lead sounds inspired by video games like Pokémon and Donkey Kong, incorporating real finger snaps, a nod to Michael Jackson’s iconic use of the technique in “Oceans” to Hans Zimmer’s work on Interstellar for “Lost and Broken.” 

As Destruction looms on the horizon, Beyond Unbroken continues to explore the human experience through their unique blend of genres. “Oceans” is a unique departure from their typical heavy sound, fusing elements of pop with alternative rock. “The Madness” a brutal hard rock deep dive into the dark recesses of our own mind and the demons we find there. “Lost and Broken” melds the intense energy of metalcore with the raw power of hard rock, infusing cyberpunk with doom metal elements. Switching gears and returning to their pop-punk roots, Beyond Unbroken’s “My Life” is a track brimming with hope and renewal. “Halo” features the rap vocal talents of Whitney Peyton, covering the narrative of a toxic love-hate relationship and featuring rap and trap elements alongside a soulful pop chorus. 

As Beyond Unbroken continues to explore the human experience and push the boundaries of metal and rock, Destruction is shaping up to be an album that showcases their extreme versatility in production whether it be a chilled-out single or over top brutality. From brutal metal and rock to alternative and pop, this album promises to be a thrilling ride for fans and newcomers alike. This is Beyond Unbroken at their most intense and versatile yet.

Releasing with the album is the title track “Destruction.” The single is a somber illustration of the bands’ thoughts on artificial intelligence.  Best described in the band’s own words: “For ‘Destruction,’ my brother Monte Money showed me a vocal melody that sparked a flood of ideas,” explains Michael Money. “Inspired, I worked on it late into the night, incorporating synthesizers and creating a piano intro. The song evolved into a commentary on Artificial Intelligence, exploring the fears and potential consequences of A.I. advancements. The post-chorus features a whispered “Destruction,” adding to the eerie vibe. The lyrics in the breakdown serve as a warning about humanity’s future. This powerful theme led us to name both the song and the album “Destruction.”

The complete track listing for Destruction is:

  1. The Madness
  2. Dance With the Dead
  3. Blood On My Hands
  4. Destruction
  5. Monster
  6. Lost and Broken
  7. My Life
  8. Last Goodbye
