Fermion release new album 'Conflicted' via Re:Mission Entertainment
New York-based electronic duo Fermion have released their new album “Conflicted” via Re:Mission Entertainment. The album is available as a limited edition CD and across all digital platforms.
On this new – excellent – album the duo – comprising Eric Shans and Augustine Backer – continue refining their hybrid style of synthwave, darkwave, industrial, and EBM. “Conflicted” was written by Shans and Backer, and mixed, produced, and mastered by Justin Singer at 10×13 Studio in Media, Pennsylvania.
The record also includes the previously released single “Unity With Chaos” released earlier this year . That track, along with “Impetus”, show the album’s trademark sound.
Thematically the album explores contrasts between emotional states and sonic textures, something the band has developed since their earlier releases like 2020’s “We Are Nowhere” and “Elegaic”.
The video for “Unity With Chaos” is available via YouTube.
About Fermion
Fermion was founded by Eric Shans and Augustine Backer in New York, USA. The project emerged from the duo’s shared interest in darker electronic styles, combining retro synth influences with industrial sound design.
Previous releases include the 2020 mini-album “We Are Nowhere” and the full-length “Elegaic“. Their music has consistently drawn comparisons to acts like Front Line Assembly, :Wumpscut:, and Noise Unit.
The current lineup remains Eric Shans and Augustine Backer. Read the review of ‘Conflicted’.
