Izzy Reign Announces Her Self-Titled Debut Album Out March 21st
February 14, 2025

Electronic Rock, FiXT Music, Label News

By Leasia Korbel

Izzy Reign has announced her self-titled debut album Izzy Reign is available for pre-order and will be out on March 21, 2025 from FiXT. 

Emerging from the shadows and into the spotlight, Izzy Reign has crafted an electrifying collection of tracks that push boundaries into a compelling and emotionally charged sonic experience. This debut record is a culmination of Izzy’s raw power and genre-defying artistry, reflecting personal struggles, societal critiques, and a hauntingly raw beautiful dive into the human psyche. Boundaries will be crossed, genres will be pushed, crushed, and turned inside out. All hail the Queen.

Each track, an artistic blending of metalcore, alternative metal, and hard rock, stands as a testament to her ability to seamlessly merge brutal instrumentals with atmospheric elements, making this album a must-listen for fans of innovative rock and metal. From “Your Entertainer” a concept track tackling the mental toll of fame to “Into Oblivion” inspired by the Egyptian goddess Ammit, this alternative pop-metal track delves into Izzy’s personal struggles with religious-induced OCD and intrusive thoughts. “Pandora’s Box” is a dichotic experience of chaos and introspection drifting between sensual to brutal. “The Sunken Place” is inspired from the psychological horror movie Get out, exploring manipulation and survival instincts through a raging soundscape. The electrifying album manages to capture the essence of various genres while smashing through each and ultimately bending them to her will. No subject is too small, no corner of humanity too dark. Izzy Reign is a deep dive into not just her own struggles but humanity’s as well.

Releasing with the pre-order, Izzy Reign’s new single “Phobos” delves deep into the unsettling world of panic attacks, drawing from personal experience to convey the overwhelming and unpredictable nature of these episodes. With raw emotion and vivid descriptions, the song captures the sensation of air thinning, heartbeats overpowering, and the inevitability of panic despite any attempts at control. Through “Phobos,” Reign seeks to resonate with those who have faced similar battles, whether through the struggle to resist the attacks or the resigned acceptance of their recurrence, creating a visceral sonic journey of anxiety and resilience.

This song is about the experiences of having panic attacks. A true understanding of how the feel and how at complete random they can occur.

In her own words, “I spent many years of my life undergoing random panic attacks, which felt like, for no reason at all, but upon learning and understanding how much the subconscious stress levels of your brain truly affect the physical responses of your body, it seemed to make more sense. I struggled with this for a long time and as many people have experienced them selves, it can take a major toll on ones every day life. How ever, I wrote this song in regards to this becoming my norm, and when I felt the coming on, I just had to take them steps to prepare and let them pass. The inevitable would happen, regardless of how in control I felt or how much I changed my situations/surroundings. I wanted to give the feeling of what a panic attack felt like to people who have gone through the many different stages of them. Whether or not they let it consume them, the sensation of the air around them thinning, or your heart beat being the only thing you can hear, or the other side of acceptance, almost, in a way, being annoyed that you have to sit down and ground yourself to prepare for what you’re already used to.”

Bold. Eclectic. Rebellious. Izzy Reign thrives on originality and thinking outside the box. Her music is nothing short of a reflection of this. She grew up singing to Alanis Morissette, Jewel, and Madonna. Inspired by Enter Shikari’s music video “Sorry You Are Not A Winner” and the musical stylings of Imogen Heap, Izzy took the plunge into the industry and played her first live show when she was 15 years old. 

Since then she’s taken a deeper dive into production, songwriting and performing, working with a variety of artists that come through the production house she shares with producers Jon Eberhard (I Prevail, Skillet, Sleeping With Sirens) and Nick Matzkows (Wind Walkers, Until I Wake, ENMY, Attack! Attack!). Over the past four years she has released a myriad of covers, originals and music videos on her YouTube channel racking up millions of views. She has received notable attention for her popular The Nightmare Before Christmas cover of “This Is Halloween”, which has over 10 million streams across Spotify and YouTube along with 73,200 videos using the sound on TikTok.

In 2023 Izzy came to the attention of the US-based record label 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 self-titled debut album with FiXT on March 21, 2025.

Behind The Scenes – Interview: Travis Brockett

By Leasia Korbel



Tell us a little about yourself—where are you from, and what’s a fun fact people might not know about you?

The easiest answer is that I am from Burlington, IA but I have lived in multiple places in Southeast Iowa but have lived in Burlington on and off throughout my adult life. I most recently came back when I got hired at FiXT.

My go-to fun fact is that I am a classically and commercially trained vocalist, having attended Millikin University for voice in the early 2000’s and have done everything from Opera to Deathcore. I currently have one active metal project (Lituus) that I am working on and a few now dead projects.

What’s your role in the music industry, and what do you love most about what you do?

I am the Administrative Director for FiXT which encompasses a great deal of things but a lot of it focuses on the finance side of the business. I really enjoy numbers and data. I like to analyze things and look for trends or things that might help us make better decisions for the label and our artists. I also enjoy the connection we have to our artists. There is a trust and respect that goes both ways.

You are also a metal vocalist. What got you into metal, and what drew you to extreme vocals?

So my love for metal started back in the early 90’s when my stepdad got me into the Metallica album And Justice for All. It got me into thrash metal and I listened to all of the Big 4. I started to develop my own tastes through the years and always tried to scream along with the songs. I wanted to learn how to do things right so I talked to my commercial vocal styles teacher in college about screaming and then a few years later got into the Zen of Screaming video series from Melissa Cross.

Can you share a bit about your journey in the music world? 

On a professional level, things started with my schooling at Millikin. I knew from there that I wanted to get into the industry but I thought my only way in was through performing. There aren’t a lot of options in the Midwest. I ended up in the finance world, working in banking for 13 years. I saw a job for FiXT posted and I knew James Rhodes because he was a friend of mine that I met in High School. I hit him up and the rest is history. I started as the Accounting & Royalty Manager working mostly on finance related items but have picked up things like Rights Management, HR, Legal and more in my time since coming on and getting promoted.

On the personal side, I have been performing since I was a kid. In the metal world, I joined my first band in 2005. I have been in a few different bands during that time but in 2021 I really kicked things up starting a Death Metal band called Misery System. From there, I did a solo project under my artist name BlkmetalvoX and am currently working on a project called Lituus.  

What are some career highlights or accomplishments you’re most proud of?

Recently we made a switch to the Curve royalty processing system and it was quite the lift to get everything up and running. I took on a lot of that burden as the person who was going to be working with the system more hands on and getting that moving and having a next level royalty solution for our artists was a great feeling. Also, just working on the budgeting process when it comes to the label and our roster as quite the accomplishment. Lastly, my promotion to Administrative Director was an incredible honor. I appreciate the trust and support that Klayton, James and Kurtis have put in me. 

Who are some of your biggest musical influences, and how have they shaped your career?

Vocally, I have plenty of musical influences but on the metal side of things, it would be people like Howard Jones (ex-Killswitch Engage, Light The Torch, Blood Has Been Shed), Vincent Bennett (The Acacia Strain), Trevor Strnad (The Black Dahlia Murder), Brook Reeves (Impending Doom) and others. I think that I was able to take pieces of their vocal styles to really find my own. I try to write about what I know or am going through. With Lituus, I am really trying to dive into my story telling and build a world. 

Are there any Black artists, producers, or industry pioneers who have inspired your path?

I mentioned him before but Howard Jones is a big one for me. I also have a lot of respect for some black artists in the metal scene because it is hard for us out here. Byron, Doc, and Corey from God Forbid, Terrance Hobbs in Suffocation, Tom Morello in RATM, Tosin Abasi in Animals as Leaders, and more. I grew up a big fan of Prince and Michael Jackson and was in awe of the talent that they had. It is people like that who truly inspire me.

Have you faced any unique experiences or challenges as a Black professional in the music industry? How did you navigate them?

I think the most unique thing I have had to deal with is microaggressions. I have lost track of how many times I tell people that I work for a record label and their automatic perception is that it must be a rap/hip-hop label. As a person of color, these things tend to happen more often than some would expect so you really learn to deal with it in a way that resolves things in a good way. I usually just try to explain what we do, what I do, and squash any misconceptions.

What’s one piece of Black music history that more people should know about?

The Broadway musical “Shuffle Along”. It was the first major black musical in 1921 and it was pivotal for having black representation on stage. It really challenged racial barriers not only on the stage but in this country.

Hardcore Keem (The Browning) & Travis Brockett

How has your cultural background influenced your artistry, business approach, or work ethic in the music industry?

I have always felt like I needed to work a bit harder because of my background. I didn’t want to fit into a shell or stereotype that someone had created for me. I feel it has made me a better person and I try to meet others like me in the industry to connect with. I want to continue to grow in this industry and I know there are others out there doing what I want to do. The best way to get there is to start those conversations so I am going to take advantage of the conferences I attend or calls that I have with other black music industry professionals.

What advice would you give to young Black artists, producers, or industry professionals trying to break into the business?

Do not let others tell you that it can’t be done. There are black people in all of those walks of life. I would recommend reaching out to anyone you see that is doing what you want to do or is on a similar path you want to take. I think we are all there to support each other and want to see our people succeed. If I am the person that can help you, I want you to hit me up.

Outside of work, what are some projects, initiatives, or community efforts you’re involved in that celebrate Black culture and music?

I have been a mentor for young black youth through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, I have volunteered with inner city youth in the past, and I have been a guest speaker at numerous black events including the Teen Summit by Delta Sigma Theta at the University of Iowa with the goal to help young minority students acquire the tools to become successful both personally and professionally.

If you could recommend one song, album, or performance that embodies Black excellence, what would it be and why?

I am gonna give two just for different reasons. The first is “To Be Young, Gifted and Black” by Nina Simone and the second is “Say It Loud – I’m Black and I’m Proud” by James Brown. The first just really speaks to empowering young black people and the second is just an anthem to show pride in who you are as a black person in this country.




What’s a piece of advice or a motto that has helped you in your career?

I think one of the guiding things I learned years ago was “The Talented Tenth” by W.E.B. DuBois. The thought is that for black people to advance, there must be an elite of exceptional men to lead them. I have always strived to be one of those men.

“The Negro race, like all races, is going to be saved by its exceptional men. The problem of education, then, among Negroes must first of all deal with the Talented Tenth; it is the problem of developing the Best of this race that they may guide the Mass away from the contamination and death of the Worst, in their own and other races.” – W.E.B. DuBois

What’s the best way the music industry—and fans—can celebrate Black history and Black artists all year long, not just in February?

While it is great to see highlights of past or current examples of black excellence during Black History Month, it would be great to see them year round. We can utilize this time to show the great things we do but I urge fans to continue to reach out and try to find artists or companies of minority groups and push them out to those you know. Spread the love. I think the industry could continue to push for panels at conferences, articles in publications, and just lifting minority voices all year round instead of what has become the convenient time to do so. 

The Plague Announces New Album The Divided States Of Hysteria Available For Pre-Order
January 29, 2025

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

“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.”

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

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.

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.

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

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.”

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 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.”

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.

Behind The Scenes – Interview: Michelle Steer – FiXT Official Christmas Queen
December 17, 2024
Artist News, Label News

By Leasia Korbel

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!

Tales From The Darkside: An Interview With The Spooky Queen Herself – Izzy Reign
October 29, 2024
Artist News, Label News

By Leasia Korbel

I’m not sure any of the artists on board FiXT love Halloween quite as much as Izzy Reign. After releasing two thrilling covers, Rob Zombie’s “Living Dead Girl” on October 11th and “Spooky Scary Skeletons” on October 25th the Scream Queen herself took the time to answer some questions about her start in music and her love of all things spooky.

Can you tell us a bit about your musical background and how you got started in the industry?

I got started in music as a child actually. My mom used to play Alanis Morrissette on this tape deck karaoke machine and that’s when I started to sing. But my dad is a drummer, a pretty great one actually, so I was always surrounded by the music scene, whether I liked it or not! Haha!, However, it wasn’t until I was about 15 that I started to genuinely take interest in the ALT scene. The “ Sorry you’re not a winner” music video from Enter Shikari came out and as I was watching the video for the first time, I knew that’s what I wanted to do with my life. It blew 15 year old Izzy’s brain. Haha. Further on down the line and a few bands later, I started working with Nick Matzkows and Jon Eberhard. Which led to where I am now. Learning from them both has been a pleasure and the friends /fellow musicians I’ve come to know along the way have all been incredible, and these experiences have helped me grow exponentially.

What first drew you to horror films, and how have they influenced your music?

Honestly, I had no choice in it. I blame my parents. Haha! I started watching horror films , probably a bit too young, but they have grown to be some of my favorite movies till this day. They have for sure influenced my music by being able to simulate fear and extreme emotion through sound. If there is any genre of film that uses sound to induce emotion…. It’s horror.

Are there specific horror films or directors that have had a significant impact on your music? How?

I wouldn’t say specific films or directors per say, but genres for sure. Sometimes I’ll see certain movies, thrillers really, that make you feel such an immense emotion that it trails with you well after the movie is over, and that’s what I try and aim to do with my music.

How do you incorporate the eerie, unsettling aspects of horror with music or music videos to create a compelling piece?

For me personally, I love to keep people on the edge of their seats. Like what’s going to come next? And then BAM a jump scare! Chaotic, but also relatable. Visually confusing but also appealing, making people stuck in interest whether they want to be or not.

Do you find that certain sub-genres of horror inspire your music more than others? If so, which ones and why?

I would say it’s quite the mix to be honest. Sci-fi gore horror and Paranormal seem to be my biggest influences. I guess I connect with them better and I feel that I write from perspectives that most of those directors are also writing from.

How do you use musical techniques (like dissonance, unusual time signatures, etc.) to evoke a sense of fear or unease?

Oh man, I love this one, I absolutely love to make your heart rate rise without you even realizing it. Small intricate almost unnoticeable tempo changes to make you feel more anxious. Spatial hearing so you feel fully immersed in the song. Hearing certain sounds travel in your ears from left to right disappear and come back. Using “unfit” or “unusual” melodies to make you feel perfectly in that headspace of unease. I aim to make my songs a relatable mental nightmare that you fully feel and can relate to. I aim to make you feel, EVERYTHING, that I feel.

What are your five all-time favorite horror films and why?

1. Annihilation.
Reason being, it is visually beautiful and takes horror in such a unique unsettling direction. So many memorable scenes. Ranging from some that are at peace and relatable to jump scare and gore all the way over to psychological unease and confusion. Also has one of the most iconic “sounds” in any horror film when they introduce the alien entity at the end. 

           2.The Haunting.
          This movie holds a weird special place in my heart. For some reason it’s been burned in my brain for the rest of eternity. From the story line, to the unsettling hidden  carousel scene that induces fear but peace simultaneously. Not to mention, I can’t go anywhere where there is a cherub and not think of that movie, thinking, it’s going to turn its head and talk to me i KNOW IT! Haha. Also, KILLER cast. The movie is iconic, and still holds up today.

          3.The Ring.
I know, I know, How common. BUT, what an fantastically written film. Scared the crap out of me as a kid and set the tone for eternity to feel nervous when you hear a standard house or corporate phone ring. Now that’s an impact. Visually perfect, not too much, not too little. Left you confused with the plot twist and a chase against time. Also ending it with knowing you kind of have to be a crappy person to save your life or the ones you love. Haha. I appreciated that.

      4.13 Ghosts.
I loved this movie and still do for a few reasons.
One being, it was the first horror movie I watched alone and I’ll NEVER forget that. I thought the entire time the Jackal, was behind me while watching the movie.
Two is because of how they introduced so many unique characters as the feared points with such a cool twist. Each one having their own story and how it played into their purpose was also super cool intertwining with the black zodiac book. And lastly, again, The cast. Some of my favorites. Mathew Dillard is by far one of the best and played this part perfectly. They did a great job conjuring up a ton of emotions and I loved that.

5. This is incredibly tough, But I’m going to have to say for creativity and uniqueness, Event Horizon. This movie is for sure one of a kind. Ranging from the psychological thrill, to the 10/10 gore. I loved this movie. Such a unique idea, and for the time it came out, they did a great job. Another one of those movies that lives rent free in my soul.

And if I could have a 6th.
Silent hill all the way. For so many reasons. 10/10 movie. Heavily the stance in which I share with religion and irrational people. Pure chaos and a solid story. And gore wise , some of the coolest scenes ever made. The characters as well.  There is not a single moment of that film that is not perfect. Honestly would be in my top 3. But this list is incredibly difficult to choose  just 5. Haha

Can you talk about the inspiration for the “Sandman” music video and single?

So, visually wanted to take a few angles from some movies but first and foremost wanted to give that, 80s-90s- sci-fi horror that is set to be in the future vibe.  So what they thought the future would look like. Honestly it stemmed a lot from the movie Event Horizon. Really wanted to make you feel like your brain is tweaking out a bit and also hit you with the alluring visuals, with a random punch of gore. Raising your heart rate and making you experience chaos. Also, I wanted to visually bring a TINY bit of Evil Dead in there with the creepy demonic vibes that feel like they are chasing you.

The song is heavily about fear of time running out  so I wanted to induce the feeling of anxiety and fear as much as possible.

Do you ever use horror-inspired music as a way to confront or process your own fears and anxieties?

I Personally love to fully FEEL things and experience them to the max that I can.
So even though something makes me nervous or uncomfortable knowing I’m going to be terrified, I love to indulge in it and connect with what the directors were aiming to make me feel. Movies serve a major purpose, as does music. To make you connect. To feel. Sometimes to make you experience something , just to keep you more alive instead of fading into the everyday norm of life. Like taking a cold shower. I think it’s necessary for people to be able to have these things. And horror films do exactly that.
