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
  6. Locked Door

Label News
Autograph, FiXT Music, James Rhodes, Klayton, Label News, Merch, The Anix

Over the years one thing we get a lot of requests for, are ways for fans to get autographs from their favorite FiXT artists. With FiXT attracting a lot of non-touring artists/producers, there hasn’t been a great way for fans to get that personal connection of getting autographed merch…until now.

Purchase: https://fixtstore.com/products/celldweller-autographed-8×10-print

Today we are excited to announce a new line of official merch launching on the FiXT Store – our Autographed series – featuring high quality, autographed 8×10 photo/art prints, and later expanding to other signed merch items. These are limited in quantity but our goal is to give fans something touched and signed by the artists as special memorabilia and collectables. A lot of times the requests we get for signed items are specifically intended as gifts and special occasions. We hope the addition of the Autographed merch line available on the FiXT Store brings joy and delight to many fans!

Purchase: https://fixtstore.com/products/the-anix-autographed-8×10-print

We are proud to launch the line today with Autographed 8x10s from Celldweller and The Anix with items coming soon from Daedric, The Browning and more throughout the year.

What have you enjoyed most about working with FiXT?
It feels like I am working with my friends who happen to be business partners! The open mindedness and willingness to let me try new things, even if it doesn’t work!

What is one of the biggest successes you’ve had since working with FiXT?
I think it has been my steady rise on Spotify. I now have higher numbers than the artists I looked up to when I was getting into producing music, and they are coming to me wanting to collab now.

What made you excited about working with FiXT to begin with?
It’s a label that feels like the future. It’s like working with a boutique who only specializes in cool shit, rather than going into a department store that carries everything to accommodate the masses. It’s very targeted and it’s not going to appeal to everyone, which is the main reason I like it. All of the brands I like have this in common, that they only appeal to a very small but highly targeted group of like minded people.

Closing Message:
The biggest attitude change I have had, was when I stopped listening to other people (friends, family, etc.) about what they think it is to “make it” in the music business. I defined what it means to “make it” to myself, so in my eyes I HAVE made it already. To outsiders who aren’t in the music industry, they think you need to be famous, or driving a Ferrari to have made it, but that is simply ignorant. My definition of making it, is that I have people actually waiting and excited to listen to a song I make. I remember how hard it was to get ANYONE to listen for such a long time when I first started, and that is something I will never forget.
