Fixation delivers powerful, experimental and emotionally charged minialbum “Speak in Tongues”,October 11th!
Shortly after their successful debut album, the award-winning metalcore band Fixation is ready to release new music with Speak in Tongues – a conceptual mini-album exploring themes of belonging, identity, and power. Across eight tracks, the band from Norway takes listeners on a musical journey where thought-provoking lyrics and a complex soundscape intertwine.
The album is both epic and experimental, drawing inspiration from films and TV series like Dune and Don’t Worry Darling, as well as artists like Aurora. Fixation introduces a refined yet hard-hitting expression, where the grand melodic vocals the band is known for are now mixed with intense screaming – a new dimension from vocalist Jonas Hansen.
“The album is about a person searching for meaning in a world that rejects them,” explains Hansen. “They find refuge in a cult, but quickly realizes it’s no better than the society they felt excluded from. They decide to create their own cult but loses touch with themself in the process.” Hansen adds that the band has long been fascinated by cult movements and their psychological power. The album is filled with hidden hints and “Easter eggs” for attentive listeners.
Musically, Fixation has continued their evolution following their critically acclaimed debut album More Subtle Than Death from 2023. On Speak in Tongues, we hear a band that has refined its sound, experimented with vocal techniques, and integrated musical elements to create something unique. “We believe this is our best work to date,” says Hansen. “We’ve learned so much as songwriters and instrumentalists, and this time there were no compromises. We hope the world loves this as much as we do.”
