solo-project Fix8:Sëd8 is driven by Martin Sane. After a debut period during
the early millennium years Fix8:Sëd8 struck back in 2017, getting signed to
Dependent and releasing the “Foren6”-album. Two years have passed and here’s the successor “Warning Signs”
revealing twelve songs.

DFix8:Sëd8
always has been inspired by sophisticated EBM reminding me of Skinny Puppy,
Mentallo & The Fixer and related formations. It’s not that different for
the new stuff, which has a strong retro-feeling and something pretty 90s-like.
The songs are dark, elaborated, carried by solid bass lines and refined with
meticulous arrangements. One of the most ‘atypical’ songs is probably “Tunnel
Vision” for being less dark.

Fix8:Sëd8 belongs to this number of intelligent EBM composers. The work
is styled bringing industrial bombast together with delicate bleeps and
arrangements. The songs are extremely dark, sometimes feeling a bit tormented
and accentuated by the growls of Martin Sane. There are multiple great songs
featured, but I’ve a preference for “Within Cells Interlinked”.

If you’re not into old-school EBM this album will definitely not be your
cup of tea. I haven’t been disappointed although both last songs are a little
less convincing.
Conclusion:
Fix8:Sëd8
moves on there where “Foren6” stopped and I think we might easily consider
“Warning Signs” as the project’s opus magnum. If you’re old-school minded this
album will probably become one of 2019’s favorites.
