Fïx8:Sëd8 – Warning Signs

Release date: 14.06.2019

After the success of his 2017 album "Foren6", Martin Sane's

Electronic/Industrial project Fïx8:Sëd8 is about to outgrow his cocoon. It has
the potential to become that full-fledged industrial music project that might
spearhead a resurrection of the traditional electronic industrial sound formerly
endorsed by cult acts like Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly or Mentallo & The
Fixer in the 90ities. While we are writing this info, Sane is touring together with
labelmates 2nd Face in South America (!), preparing his European touring
activities to go along for what might become one of the strongest "Old school"
electronic-industrial releases in 2019: "Warning Signs".
The writing is on the wall in more than one way: Martin Sane's looks at early
indications of a dystopic downturn of our peaceful societies echoes in our news
almost daily. The notion of insecurity and angst starts to foster and grow in
various places among the earth from North America to Europe to Southeast-
Asia. His new album is a soundtrack to a modern dystopic downfall that we
would rather like to ignore than to face.
Musically "Warning Signs" is so old school, it could almost be called a "Retro
Industrial" album, as it includes all the ingredients that made industrial
breathtaking in the 80ies: Vocal Samples, complex drum programming, and big
strings mixed with structures that remind of old Skinny Puppy cult songs like
"Inquisition" or "Addiction". Like their originals, these songs need repeated
listens to sink in and unfold their potential. But what amazes most is the
contradiction between the theme of the album and its sound: How can
something sounding so "retro" tackle problems that are so recent?
Can we afford to ignore these warning signs?

"Warning Signs" will be released on June 14th in a nice multi-page Digipak and
as a limited edition of 333 units as a collector's hardcover artbook with
exclusive 4-track bonus CD "Aftermath" and alternative cover.
