FIXATION

 

Norwegian metalcore act Fixation first appeared in 2020 and quickly made a name for themselves with the release of their debut EP "Global Suicide". The EP received high praise from media, and Metal Hammer Norway stated:

"Sounds like a million dollars. There is so much talent here that it is almost touching, and what an amazing vocalist this band has in Jonas Hansen! It is simply a revelation. Wow!!"

Their next single "Stay Awake" was released in 2021 and it managed to capture the attention of notable international media outlets such as Metal Hammer (DE), Kerrang! Magazine (UK), Kaaoszine (FI) and BBC (UK).

In 2022, they continued to build their reputation with the release of "More Alive" and "Claustrophobic" and performances at notable festivals like Tons of Rock (NO) The Great Escape (UK), Summer Breeze (DE), as well as tour dates with well-established acts like Leprous, Smash Into Pieces and Djerv, continuing to receive praise from media.

"It's super-hooky well-crafted modern rock that pulls in metalcore, post-hardcore and stadium rock, and will tick all the right boxes that fans of Bring Me The Horizon, Thrice and Thirty Seconds To Mars will connect with immediately" - Kerrang! Magazine

“Jordan from Bring Me The Horizon texted me and was like what band was that, what was that song called? Says a lot!" - Daniel P. Carter / BBC Radio 1 Rock Show.

In 2023 Fixation has continued to solidify their position as one of the most promising and rising bands in the rock and metal scene. The release of their single “Ignore the Disarray” became “Tune of the Week” on BBC Radio 1 Rock Show, and they toured Europe (32 dates) with Devin Townsend, supported Imminence, and appeared at festivals like Eurosonic (NL) and Prognosis (NL).

But there is a lot more on the agenda 2023; not only will Fixation release their highly anticipated debut album, they will also appear at festivals like Download (UK), QStock (FI), Rock Imperium (ES), as well as touring Europe in October with Annisokay!

Fixation’s ability to seamlessly blend various musical elements and touch on relatable topics makes them a standout. Their music speaks to a broad audience, and they create a sound that resonates with a whole generation - not just fans of a specific genre. With a exciting year ahead and with rising popularity, there is no doubt that Fixation is claiming their positions as a rising force in the music scene.
