FiXT sharpens the blade with the release of Machines of Our Disgrace (Single Edits), a precision-cut offering that distills the raw power of Circle of Dust and Celldweller into streamlined, high-impact versions built for immediate immersion. These single edits preserve the aggression, atmosphere, and mechanical soul of the originals—now tightened for repeat listens without losing an ounce of weight.
This release bridges eras and aliases, bringing together two pillars of Klayton’s sonic universe under the FiXT banner. Industrial pressure, cinematic tension, and cybernetic rhythm collide in edits designed to hit fast, hit hard, and linger long after the last transient fades.
French synthwave titan Carpenter Brut has returned, tearing open the next chapter of his dark cinematic universe with the release of “Leather Temple,” the first single from the third and final installment of his legendary Leather trilogy, arriving in 2026. Brut’s newest offering is a serrated collision of abrasive beats, metallic tension, and dystopian world-building—his most ambitious vision yet.
Directed by Dehn Sora, the accompanying video introduces Midwichpolis, a scorched post-nuclear metropolis reborn from the ashes of 2077. This sprawling nightmare city forms the narrative backbone of the new album.
At its core stands the monolithic Temple, a blackened tower piercing the skyline like a ceremonial blade. It serves as the throne of Iron Tusk, the brutal ruler whose empire thrives on fear, propaganda, and decadence. While the upper sectors—known as the City of Light—bathe in neon excess, holographic glamour, and grotesque luxury, the truth is far more rotten. Below the shimmering facade stretch the Midwich Slums, a labyrinth of ruin, poverty, and perpetual surveillance. Here, rebellion simmers. Here, the shadows swallow the innocent whole.
“Leather Temple” channels this tension directly into sound. Its steel-sharpened beats and heavy metal-kissed riffs echo the rage of the oppressed, while blistering neon synths reflect the glowing corruption above. Saturated in 90s electro grit and soaked in dystopian atmosphere, the track stomps forward with distorted aggression and relentless propulsion—classic Carpenter Brut, but fiercer, darker, and even more cinematic.
Since erupting onto the scene in 2012, Carpenter Brut has fused metal, dark electronic music, and ‘80s pop culture into his own unmistakable universe—equal parts John Carpenter, Dario Argento, Slayer, and Justice. The Leather trilogy has become a modern mythos: • Leather Teeth (2018) — a glam-rock-infused neon nightmare • Leather Terror (2022) — a brutal slasher odyssey following anti-hero Brett Halford • The forthcoming final chapter — the ultimate crescendo of this filmic saga
Carpenter Brut’s live spectacle continues to evolve alongside the narrative, and he has announced extensive European and U.S. dates for March 2026, including a massive North American co-headline run with HEALTH.
The legendary producer returns after nearly five years with an apocalyptic fusion of industrial metal and electronic chaos.
⚡ Explosive Comeback After years of silence on the vocal front, Celldweller — the brainchild of multi-genre mastermind Klayton — has re-emerged with a thunderous new single, “Fakebreaker.” This marks his first full-vocal release in nearly five years, and it’s a sonic firestorm that blends industrial metal, electronic rock, and cinematic bass energy into one devastating package.
Teaming up with dark-bass producer SWARM and vocalist/producer REEBZ, Celldweller delivers a soundscape that’s part cybernetic warfare, part emotional exorcism. Expect thunderous guitars, mechanical grooves, and distorted synths that explode into a dystopian frenzy.
🎛 The Story Behind the Sound Klayton revealed that the project began unexpectedly:
“A 303 acid bassline and a breakbeat… this was a demo for my project FreqGen. While building my new studio, ‘Fakebreaker’ developed into a monster.”
As the track evolved, he enlisted REEBZ for her fierce vocal layering and SWARM for his retro-infused dark electronic textures. The collaboration created a high-impact track that merges three creative visions into one unstoppable sonic juggernaut.
💥 Cinematic Visuals & Future Vision Accompanying the single is a video game-inspired visual where Klayton and REEBZ navigate a neon-drenched digital battlefield — a chaotic visual extension of the track’s post-apocalyptic themes. The release also teases the next phase of Celldweller’s evolution, rumored to build toward his upcoming “God Mode” EP under FiXT.
For long-time fans, this is more than a comeback — it’s a resurgence. For new listeners, it’s a warning shot: Celldweller is still the architect of industrial revolution in modern electronic music.

“Prophecy” – A Nightmarish Fusion of Synthwave & Metal 💀⚡
GOST’s latest album, “Prophecy”, is out now on Metal Blade Records and has already made a massive impact, landing multiple Billboard chart positions: 🏆 #1 Electronic Albums 🏆 #14 Current Hard Rock Albums 🏆 #20 Top New Artist Albums
Blending darkwave, industrial, and black metal, GOST’s sonic world is as eerie as it is electrifying. The Texas-based multi-instrumentalist and producer has been a genre-defying force since the release of “Radio Macabre” (2013) and “Skull” (2013). Prophecy marks a return to the project’s harsher and more aggressive roots, delivering a relentless assault of pounding synth-driven brutality.
🔥 Decibel Magazine – “Hellish blasts of blackened industrial like ‘Death In Bloom’ and ‘Digital Death’ harken back to the digital demonology of 2018’s ‘Possessor.’ While harshness eclipses hooks, mascara traces remain: ‘Widow Song’ enjoys the silence of humanity’s demise.”
🔥 Revolver Magazine – “Bewitching black-metal hisses laid over thumping darkwave synths and thwacking industrial drums. A match made in Hell.”
🔥 Kerrang! – “The world his music inhabits is nocturnal and sinister, bathed in crimson neon; while its electronic beats might point a bony finger in the direction of the dancefloor, the environment it portrays is more ritual than rave…’
🔥 No Clean Singing – “GOST provides both synth and metal purists a focal point to indulge upon with hellish glee. ‘Prophecy’ will no doubt go down as a stylistic staple, an example of how to make immense music of infinite flavors that pulverizes all fortunate enough to be in its wake.”
