FiXT is proud to announce the roster signing of Rock Metal Djent artist Andromida.

“Labels have always been something I’ve been skeptical of as an independent musician. I’ve heard the horror stories of all the bad deals floating out there in the industry. I knew that if I was ever going to sign with a label, it needed to be a label that truly put their artists first. FiXT is exactly that. I’m excited to be part of the FiXT family and look forward to our future endeavors.” – Ramon Gutierrez, Andromida

Andromida is a one man metal project by composer and producer, Ramon Gutierrez. Diagnosed as legally blind at a young age, Ramon naturally felt a strong connection with music. At the age of 3, he began learning the violin. While learning the violin, it quickly became apparent that he was unable to read sheet music provided by his teachers, but that didn’t stop him. He went on to learn the instrument by ear, eventually playing pieces by composers like Bach at a very young age. At the age of 11, Ramon decided to take on the guitar. Just like the violin, he learned completely by ear, only this time he did not have any help from teachers. Ramon is entirely self-taught on guitar.

Eventually he became fascinated with the idea of writing and producing music. He spent hours upon hours, days upon days, teaching himself how to arrange songs, produce, and mix and master his own music in his late high school years. During his time in college, Ramon began taking steps to start pursuing music professionally.  After trying and failing several times to form a band, he eventually decided to take on the endeavor by himself, thus starting Andromida in 2016.

Since 2016, Andromida’s music has reached over 2,000,000 listeners on Spotify as well as amassing over 50,000 social media followers, including 20,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel. 

“We’re extremely proud to welcome Andromida to the FiXT roster. He’s already established himself as a tour-de-force instrumental artist and producer, and I can’t wait to see him unlock even more reach with a full album of vocal features and the support of the FiXT team behind him.”– James Rhodes (FiXT Vice President & Co-Founder)

“Really excited to bring Andromida into the FiXT family. His blend of heavy riffs, smashing beats, and retro synths are sure to make many of you new fans if you’re not familiar with him already. Help me welcome Andromida to the FiXT family by giving him a follow and checking out his new track “Conquer” feat. Fight the Fade.” – Klayton (Celldweller, Scandroid, Circle Of Dust, FiXT President & Co-Founder)

The signing kicks off with a brutal rock single “Conquer” (feat. Fight The Fade) the next single to materialize on the FiXT: Radium Compilation. With an aggressive vocal performance from Fight The Fade front man Zene Smith, coupled with provocative lyrics Andromida pushes the dial to one hundred. The track encompasses both brutal and ethereal elements, pushing heavy guitars with syncopated synthesizers. The result is a both an atmospheric single wrapped around a metalcore finish for a savage introduction to FiXT‘s newest signed artist as he explores the human condition.

“I’m always heavily inspired by epic soundtracks and crazy synths, so I really wanted to make a song that pulled from those inspirations while still being a very hooky and catchy song,” explains Andromida. “The end result is something that I think is super unique but still feels familiar. It’s no doubt a catchy metal/rock song, but there are some really unconventional uses of synths here. Several of the guitar riffs actually have synths running through guitar amps replacing certain notes of what was originally written with guitars, giving certain riffs a really cold and robotic feel to them which I think adds so much to the song.”

“Conquer” (feat. Fight The Fade) is available now on all platforms from FiXT.

FiXT Signs The Future Punk Pioneer
Resurrects Hope For The F.U.T.U.R.E.

FiXT is proud to announce the signing of future punk act The Plague. After working together in 2017 for The Plague’s remix of “Embracing Entropy” from FiXT-label-owner Klayton’s project Circle of Dust, a friendship was born and has led to a new multi-album deal together.

“Celldweller and FiXT have been an important influence on The Plague’s music and attitude,” states The Plague. “I am so excited to see where the collaboration takes us!”

 Trailblazing and fierce, The Plague was created to spread a message of hope, and to rebel against growing self-destructive ideals. The Plague’s post-apocalyptic themes portray the struggles of being human, encouraging people to break free of the superficial and to know they are not alone.

“Those of you familiar with my project Circle of Dust may recognize The Plague from his remix of  “Embracing Entropy,” states Klayton (Celldweller, Circle Of Dust, Scandroid) “I couldn’t be more excited to announce his signing to FiXT. His songs are heavy, electronic, extremely infectious, and top-notch from the songwriting all the way down to the vocals, guitar riffs, and electronic sound design. If you don’t believe me, check out “Danger” and you can thank me later.”

With the announcement of the signing comes the re-release of the debut album Hope For The F.U.T.U.R.E. with brand new art, mixing, and mastering, plus some bonus tracks/remixes, throughout 2022, ahead of a new album coming in 2023. The Plague’s debut single with FiXT, “Danger”, is a turbulent vision of the world around us. Featuring driving guitar riffs, a powerful vocal performance, and thought-provoking lyrics, “Danger” is a warning call to wake up to the reality surrounding us.

“David has been on a short list of artists we’ve wanted to work with for several years and I’m glad the timing finally came together for us to make it happen,” states James Rhodes (FiXT, VP & Co-Founder). “We want to help bring his music to a much bigger audience and get him the recognition he deserves!”

“Danger” is out now from independent multi-genre music label FiXT.

The Plague – Danger (Remastered)

The Plague is the brainchild of producer/engineer David Adam Monroe, a pioneer of Future Punk. The Plague’s post-apocalyptic themes portray the struggles of being human, encouraging people to break free of the superficial and to know they are not alone.

David has been playing music from an early age, highly encouraged by his parents, he received an electric guitar at age ten and took off emulating his favorite bands at the time; Greenday, Smashing Pumpkins, and other 90’s rock bands. His career took off at age 16 when a promoter got his high school band on the Van’s Warped Tour.

As a producer/engineer, David has produced records with many artists including Glen Matlock from the Sex Pistols and multi-platinum engineer Earl Cohen. As a musician, he has toured internationally–including 4 years on Van’s Warped Tour– and has played with bands such as Tony Levin, My Chemical Romance, Story of the Year, NoFx, The Used, Yellow Card, Three Days Grace, and many more. The Plague’s debut album Hope For the F.U.T.U.R.E. was released independently in 2017.

In 2018 The Plague remixed Circle Of Dust’s “Embracing Entropy” (feat. Celldweller), through artist-owned record label FiXT. The Plague eventually signed to FiXT in 2022, and is re-releasing the debut album with remastered tracks, new art and bonus tracks throughout the year, ahead of a new album coming in 2023.

 “My goal with The Plague was to make futuristic Christian rock, when I was producing bands in Boston, my assistant showed me Celldweller and said, “This guy is dope and reminds me of you!”  I chased Celldweller’s blend of synths and guitars, and that exploration process helped me discover my own sound.  When I finished the record I emailed James (FiXT Manager) with the spirit of a little brother and said, “Hey James, look! I self-produced a futuristic rock record that I’m releasing on my label!  You guys inspired this!”  By some wonderful miracle he was excited too!” – The Plague
