German electro-industrial project,\u00a0FIX8:SED8<\/strong>\u00a0has revealed details about their highly-anticipated forthcoming album,\u00a0Octagram<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0courtesy of\u00a0Dependent Records<\/strong>.

For\u00a0F\u00cfX8:S\u00cbD8<\/strong>\u00a0the number 8 is more than just another digit. When the 8 just turns by a little in the context of the German electro industrial project’s sixth album, it becomes the symbol for infinity. Infinity and the promise of eternal life also constitute one of the main tools instrumentalized by organized religions to control their followers, which is one of the lyrical themes present on\u00a0Octagram<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em>

The number 8 is also reflected in the structure of the album, which consists of eight songs each with a playing-time of eight minutes. The new songs break away from the classic \u201cverse and chorus\u201d formula. Freshly introduced odd time signatures and polyrhythmic experiments add to the overall progressive feel\u00a0Octagram<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0creates.\u00a0

Octagram<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0features all the signature elements and sounds that define\u00a0F\u00cfX8:S\u00cbD8<\/strong><\/em>: The album is as playful, complex, and melodic as its predecessors. The drums push even a bit harder than before, while the vocals are even more diverse on\u00a0Octagram<\/em><\/strong>. Vocal samples consist mainly of recitations quoting the last words of persons that were about to receive the death sentence.

Octagram<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0continues and expands the exploration of electronic musical dimensions that mastermind Martin Sane began with the highly successful predecessors,\u00a0Foren6<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(2017),\u00a0Warning Signs<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(2019), and\u00a0The Inevitable Relapse<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(2021). Channeling obvious influences from Canadian cult acts such as SKINNY PUPPY and FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, the German developed his own inimitable style that oscillates between dark electronics and catchy, melodic passages.\u00a0F\u00cfX8:S\u00cbD8<\/strong>\u00a0ultimately created their own soundscapes by successively moving away from their musical paragons, which broadly resembles the development of artistic soulmates such as MENTALLO & THE FIXER and HAUJOBB.\u00a0

With\u00a0Octagram<\/strong><\/em>, electro industrial shooting stars F\u00cfX8:S\u00cbD8 once again push the extent of their own musical dimensions as well as the limits of the whole scene.\u00a0Octagram<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is truly a groundbreaking milestone in the evolution of Martin Sane’s electronic industrial darkness!
