In an industry that continuously presents new challenges and obstacles, James Rhodes has found a way In this milestone 100th episode of Heartdea13r, FIXT co-founders Klayton and James Rhodes unpack two decades of building an independent music company around fairness, artist ownership and genuine relationships. They discuss the failures that shaped FIXT, their commitment to 50/50 artist deals, streaming fatigue, the resurgence of physical music and why direct-to-fan relationships may define the industry’s next chapter. Alongside Christopher Gonda and Lance Marwood, the conversation explores entrepreneurship, adapting through failure and why people, not profits, remain at the heart of sustainable creative businesses. Ultimately, Klayton and James make the case for patience, trusting your instincts and building something that lasts without sacrificing your values.

Daedric’s RE:FORMED EP Three Songs, Three Transformations

July 24, 2026

FiXT Music, Label News

Following the release of their acclaimed sophomore album As The Light Left, Daedric returns with the RE:FORMED, a three-track acoustic EP, with an accompanying behind-the-scenes documentary, out now  via FiXT. 

Featuring stripped-down reinterpretations of fan favorites “Iridescent Wings,” “Sand Tiger,” and “Dreamweaver,” RE:FORMED reveals a more intimate side of the band while preserving the emotional weight and intensity that define Daedric’s sound. The accompanying documentary features a look behind the scenes, details the creation of the songs, and the thought process behind RE:FORMED. 

“The approach to the RE:FORMED EP was more than just rehashing songs from As The Light Left as acoustic versions of the same thing,” says Daedric. “It was about creating something new out of our emotions and experience of the album. These acoustic songs have become more like a rebirth in such a cathartic sense, and the reworking and restructuring of each track allowed us to explore that concept in our own time.”

More than a collection of acoustic recordings, RE:FORMED serves as a creative reimagining of material from As The Light Left. Through careful restructuring and reinterpretation, Daedric uncovers new emotional dimensions within the songs, trading sonic aggression for vulnerability while preserving the spirit that made the originals resonate with listeners. The result is a release that stands on its own, offering a fresh perspective on the band’s evolving artistry.

FiXT New Noise: Geoff Rockwell Interview – The Producer Behind Daedric Who Wants You to Stop Making Laptop Metal

FiXT Music, Label News

Most people hear Daedric and think: massive riffs, cinematic chaos, emotional damage, existential dread. And who can forget lead singer Kristyn Hope’s immense vocal range?

But behind every colossal chorus and beautifully destructive wall of sound is another story entirely. One involving sleep deprivation, plugin abuse, existential arguments with snare drums, and staring at waveforms long enough to transcend mortal understanding. With a withering hatred of laptop metal added on top…

From cinematic synthwave to cyberpunk electro and hard-hitting alternative rock, Ars Nikonov (Instagram) has essentially turned genre-hopping into an art form. As a longtime member of the FiXT label, known for its genre-shape-shifting artists, Nikonov is no exception to the rule. Whether creating neon-soaked synthwave through Fury Weekend, unleashing high-voltage nu-metal with Nitroverts, or diving into a dystopian cyberpunk underworld with Kodeseven, Ars Nikonov’s projects feel like a full-blown audio identity crisis in the best possible way…

Label News, Press

5$ From Each Sale Goes To
The National Alliance on Mental Illness

First launched in 2023 FiXT has expanded a metal-inspired Mental Health Matters merch line to support and encourage postive mental health with $5 of each sale going to NAMI. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. 970 million people around the world struggle with some form of mental illness. 1 in 4 people will be affected by mental illness at some point in their lives. This topic is something that’s incredibly important to our staff. We wanted to try to find a way to help raise awareness to the situation while at the same time raising money for a good cause.

“Mental health is incredibly important at FiXT…for our staff, our artists, and our fans. It affects every single one of us. We strive for greatness and excellence in our work, but our individual mental health is a huge factor in how we carry ourselves, how we engage in self-talk and build self-worth, and how we show up for others – co-workers, artists, industry partners, families, friends, and beyond. We believe in taking care of your mental health and supporting others in their journey as an act of self-care and loving others. We are proud to support every artist whose music and art we have put out into the world, contributing towards enriching the lives of millions of fans globally over our 20 year history.”
– James Rhodes, FiXT President

“Music has always been a place where people find connection, healing & understanding, especially during difficult times. Mental Health Awareness Month is an opportunity to remind people that no one is alone in what they’re facing. Behind every artist, fan, friend & co-worker is a person carrying struggles that may not always be visible. ‘Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind always’ is a message that speaks directly to why mental health awareness matters. If this campaign encourages even one person to feel seen, supported, or inspired to seek help, then it has already made a meaningful difference. We’re proud to support NAMI through this campaign & stand alongside those working to create greater understanding, compassion & support for mental health everywhere.” – Michelle Steer, E-Commerce & Merchandise Director

We’re incredibly proud to be able to offer our Mental Health Matters shirts and tanks to you, and $5 from each purchase will go directly to NAMI [National Alliance on Mental Illness].
