    Fixation is set to make a resounding impact with their highly anticipated debut album, "More Subtle Than Death"!

    September 8th Fixation is finally ready to unleash their debut album "More Subtle Than Death", and will be touring Europe with the new album in October together with Annisokay!

    Fixation's music seamlessly weaves heavy guitar riffs, electronic textures, and infectious choruses, leaving audiences craving more. Their raw talent and impactful music have already garnered praise from notable media outlets across the world such as Kerrang! Magazine, NRK, Metal Hammer and BBC. The nine-track masterpiece delves into subjects such as mental health, climate crisis, and social criticism, delivering a thought-provoking journey that demands attention.

    Fixation states: “We didn’t want to limit ourselves to one particular sound, although the album sounds like Fixation as a whole, there are songs that are more poppy, more heavy, more grandiose and symphonic and more straight forward rock songs. The subjects in the songs are things that frightens and worries us about the state of the world today. These are things that we want to see change in.”

    Fixation combines electronic elements, stadium rock, and post-metal to create a unique and emotionally charged sound, drawing inspiration from bands like Bring Me The Horizon, Architects and Muse.

    In 2023 Fixation has started to solidity their position as one of the most promising new bands in the rock and metal scene. Starting 2023 with an extensive tour with Devin Townsend in Europe (32 dates), and then appearing at festivals like Eurosonic, Download, Rock Imperium and Prognosis. With the release of the debut album Fixation will head out on their second European tour in 2023 with Annisokay in October.

    It's safe to say that with an astonishing 60+ European live dates combined in 2023, their captivating performances have earned them a reputation as a must-see live act that gets them booked over and over again.

    Fixation's debut album showcases their ability to traverse genres and tackle relatable topics, appealing to a wide range of listeners. Their music speaks to a whole generation, resonating with fans of various genres, from metalcore to post-hardcore and rock. With rising popularity and an exciting year ahead, Fixation is undoubtedly staking their claim as a rising force in the music scene.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Do the numbers not scare you to death?
Cause they scare the living hell out of me.
Let the children be armed to the teeth.
And if that doesn't work, just do it again and again til it does.

Cause you hope that one day the figures will turn
and the thousands of lives that were given up
will be worth it in your eyes.

We scream for those who can't.
Cause humankind let you keep your gun,
but took away their lives.
All to protect you and I
from being killed by a kid with an unstable mind.

Are these vicious people a threat to you
if they can't pull the trigger?
How can allowing more people to get their hands on a firearm
diminish the death toll?
What happens when frustration gets the best of you
while you carry your gun with your liquor?
You can say you stood your ground and walk away as a free man
with just a death on your conscience.

Tell me how you can be so blind?
Cause all the warning signs were there.
And you're deliberately oblivious
if you think your kids don't know
where your guns are stored.
They'll find it if they want.
Does your gut not wrench by the thought
of seeing your child being brought out in a body bag?

So,
you repeat the words
never again.
And then it happens again.

When this pent-up anger slowly starts to spill
and there is no one who will help you catch the tears,
they'll regret they ever upset you.
Then you'll finally show them all.

about

Fixation Oslo, Norway

Fixation is a brand-new melodic metalcore band who freely combine electronic elements with stadium rock and metal. Whenever the music reaches the depths of it’s beautiful and soft vulnerability, you’re abruptly hurled back up again by aggressive riffs and bass lines. The result is compelling and massive music that appeals to a generation rather than to fans of one specific genre. ... more
