Behold the “Octagram”! For FÏX8:SËD8 the 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 instrumentalised by institutionalised religions to control their followers, which is one of the lyrical themes present on “Octagram”.
The number 8 is also reflected in the structure of the album, which consists of 8 songs with a playing-time of 8 minutes. The new songs break out from the classic verse and chorus formula. Freshly introduced odd time signatures and polyrhythmic experiments add to the overall progressive feel this creates.
No worries, “Octagram” features all the signature elements and sounds that define FÏX8:SËD8: 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 “Octagram”. Vocal samples consist mainly of recitations quoting the last words of persons that were about to receive the death sentence.
“Octagram” continues and expands the exploration of electronic musical dimensions that mastermind Martin Sane began with the highly successful predecessors “Foren6” (2017), “Warning Signs” (2019), and “The Inevitable Relapse” (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. FÏX8:SËD8 ultimately 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.
On the live front, FÏX8:SËD8 have also established themselves as a musical force to be reckoned with. The project has performed headliner tours across Europe and performed at prestigious events such as the Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig and the E-Tropolis Festival. For “Octagram” the German project will return to the stages with a full tour and the biggest production so far.
With “Octagram”, electro industrial shooting stars FÏX8:SËD8 once again push the extent of their own musical dimensions as well as the limits of the whole scene. “Octagram” is truly a groundbreaking milestone in the evolution of Martin Sane’s electronic industrial darkness!
