A mixture of emo, EDM...plus a big dose of Stabbing Westward, we think - Italian multi-genre musician / producer Marco Calanca - aka Becko - is Fixtmusic's latest signing.
Klayton's dominant persona makes an appearance with this killer single from the next album and song cycle. Still very much in END OF AN EMPIRE territory, you will hear a mixture of industrial screamo, proggy synths and melodic Future-Rock.
It was inevitable really - Klayton asserts his musical supremacy by not resting on his bleepy faux-soundtrack laurels, and instead parties like it's 1986 with this all-out melodic metal assault. Complete with choppy riffs and tons of shredding, expect Tom Cruise to use this in the aerial dogfight sequences in Maverick: Top Gun II.
...and for those 90s goths who want to experience real chills, check out this eerie Cure cover-teaser, complete with its corresponding scene from the classic comicbook movie The Crow!
Augmenting an already strong list of Electronic Rock acts such as The Qemists, I Will Never Be The Same, and The Algorithm, Fixtmusic starts their newest round of signings with LA's THE ANIX. Sounding like a stadium-chewing cyber-U2, this epic track already has us massively looking forward to the forthcoming album ( to be released in the fall ). Check it out!
Blue Stahli ( real name: Bret Autrey ) is more well known for his catchy blasts of crushing industrial overkill than any sweepingly evocative atmospheric pieces. However, the latter is exactly what we get here, as he and label FIXT release this spooky teaser, which we hope is ahead of a full-on rockin' version of the Billy Idol classic. Deep-cut fans will be interested to note that this down-tempo interpretation and that familiar chord sequence makes us think of Joy Division's New Dawn Fades, as covered by Moby on the soundtrack to Heat ( which we will also include below ).
After millions of plays since 2011, Blue Stahli's 'SHOTGUN SEÑORITA' - as remixed by Venezuelan Metal Drum & Bass artist Zardonic ( below ) - gets an officially-sanctioned release.
Production maestro Klayton ( aka Scandroid, & Celldweller ), talks us through how he went back to the 90s for his industrial outfit CIRCLE OF DUST's 2016 resurrection.
Anything new on FIXT is a big deal, and this French signing ( formed in 2009 by programmer and composer Rémi Gallego, with drummer Mike Malyan added in 2011 ), is no exception.
A mixture of Mathcore, Melodic Metal, and Prog Rock, The Algorithm's complicated soundscapes are perfectly encapsulated by their band logo: An unreadable piss-take of a 'Black Metal' insignia guaranteed to generate interest from the modern metal hardcore...as well as great t-shirt sales!
