FiXT is proud to announce Cincinnati, Ohio 4-piece Hard Rock band ENMY has joined the label’s roster in a multi-album deal. To celebrate, FiXT is rereleasing a deluxe edition of the group’s debut album Breaking Down featuring their hit songs “Clarity”, “Demon Eyes” and “Burn” plus a new cinematic mix of “Never Healing.”

ENMY have already established themselves as a powerful hard rock force with nearly 400,000 monthly listeners across all platforms. Intense and raw the group brings a fresh and energetic sound to modern day rock and metalcore and command a brutal stage show with loyal fans who commute as far away as New Jersey, Texas, West Virginia, and Florida to catch them live on their home turf.

“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

“I am very excited to be working with ENMY. When I first heard them back in 2020 they immediately caught my ear as a potential fit for FiXT. Their catchy songwriting and impeccable production mixed with their ability to fuse hard rock with electronic programming make them a natural fit here at FiXT. I think these guys have insane potential and I’m looking forward to being a part of the journey in helping them reach that potential!”

James Rhodes, FiXT Vice President & Co-Founder

“I’m so excited to welcome ENMY to the FiXT roster! We’ve been wanting to work with this group for quite some time, and we are so stoked that it has finally worked out. They have such a professional and modern sound that fits the FiXT style perfectly. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for ENMY in there time with FiXT!”

Dave Hansen, FiXT A&R Manager

If their live shows are anything to go by, ENMY is a force to be reckoned with. I was fortunate to catch them in Covington, KY. It was their first live show with drummer David Nester, who also drums for Aaron Lewis (Staind) but has worked with Staind, Greta Van Fleet, Korn, Marilyn Manson, White Chapel, All That Remains, and Atreyu.

ENMY roamed the crowd during the shows featuring Noorha, Softspoken, and Sakoya, chatting with loyal fans who’d driven from as far away as New Jersey, Texas, West Virginia, and Florida to see them on their home turf near Cincinnati, Ohio on November 11. They gave me and my family a warm welcome, excited to see us and excited about things to come with FiXT.

The lights were low but the energy from the crowd was sky high the moment ENMY took to the stage. Despite the technical difficulties, which included a laptop rolling off of its chair the show continued on without a hitch, which included a joke about anyone from FiXT who could fix the problem. Sadly I could not.

We entered that day curious, excited to attend a live performance, and left fans fortunate to be able to observe the next chapter of ENMY’s journey from behind the scenes. I highly encourage anyone to give these guys a show, attend a live show. You won’t be disappointed. Welcome to the FiXT fam, ENMY!

“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.”

Dark. Cold. Aggressive. Beyond Unbroken’s latest single “The Madness” along with the release of a deeply intense official music video is a deep dive into the dark recesses of our own mind and the demons we find there. Beyond Unbroken proves beyond their extreme versatility in production whether it be a chilled-out single or over top brutality in this latest single. 

“The Madness” portrays a psychological struggle when the mind is in overdrive, succumbing to manic thoughts.”  

“The music video plays out a war within a dark, decrepit prison—a metaphor echoed through the lyrics “I can’t get out,” describing how the mind can become its own prison.”

Beyond Unbroken

Drawing inspiration from everything from horror movies, and life experiences culminated  in a music video and single that are a match made in mental hell. The prison effortlessly reflects a brutal metaphor for a one’s own personal prison. The low-tuned breakout guitar riffs, deep synthesizers, infused with orchestral elements serve to heighten the unsettling atmosphere from start to finish. “The Madness” is both versatile and undeniably a powerful message. In their own words, “I want listeners to understand that they’re not alone. We’re here for a short time, and the pain they feel is only temporary, facing and overcoming obstacles is essential and it is what makes us stronger, brighter days are ahead for you. We’re in this together.” Stay tuned as Beyond Unbroken continues to explore the human experience and pushing the boundaries of Metal and Rock. It’s 2024 and this is just a warm up.

The Plague kicks off February with a bang, releasing a fierce new Alternative Metal single “Man Machine or Beast.”

Listen Now

The nature of the track underlines the themes of inner turmoil as The Plague seamlessly weaves elements of Metal, Metalcore, Alternative Metal, and Hard Rock into a tapestry of sound. Thrashing guitars set the fiery tone right from the start as The Plague unleashes a sonic storm weaving provocative lyrics and a brutal vocal performance delivering a thought-provoking backdrop to the track.

“This song is about addiction and identity confusion. The song is about how society with severe technology addiction creates unrealistic expectations combined with extreme relational distance.”

The Plague

“Man Machine or Beast” is a sonic manifesto that showcases The Plague’s mastery of diverse genres. This latest single is just the tip of the sonic iceberg for what’s to come later in the year from The Plague. Buckle up, 2024 is going to be wild.

The vinyl and digital versions of the album are available for pre-order now from FiXT with December ‘23 and February ‘24 release dates, respectively.

Available today is a brutal Metalcore re-imagination of the hit Celldweller track “Switchback” from synth metal / deathcore artist and label-mate, The Browning. This high-octane reinterpretation of the track is nothing short of defiance as The Browning infuses it with heavier vocals and guitars with all new lyrics in the bridge. It may be too late to switchback but there’s still more to come. 

“It was a big moment for myself and FiXT when we inked a deal with Jonny (The Browning).  The next natural step was to figure out something we could work on together. The idea that excited us the most was Jonny not simply just doing a remix, but instead reimagining “Switchback” as a song by The Browning. As a fan of Jonny’s I love this version of the song and I know Celldweller fans will too.” – Klayton (Celldweller)

Featured on the Celldweller Definitive Edition album are new remix / collaborative appearances by The Browning, TESSERACTS, Void Chapter, Nouveau Arcade, Toronto Is Broken, Kodeseven, Kaixo, Drumcorps, Zardonic, Cassetter,and more.The Celldweller Definitive Edition features all new artwork and marks the 2nd pressing of the album on vinyl in a new, limited edition 3-LP package.

“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)
