Young Medicine signs multi-album deal with FiXT, re-releases ‘Immolator’
Young Medicine has signed a multi-album deal with FiXT. The Kansas City synthwave-metal band re-releases the single “Immolator” through the label.
Young Medicine has signed a multi-album deal with FiXT, and the partnership opens with the re-release of “Immolator,” out now on the label. The Kansas City, Missouri trio pairs retro-styled synthesizers with hard rock and metalcore guitar work, and “Immolator” was first released in November 2025 through FiXT’s synthwave imprint FiXT Neon before returning now under the new deal.
“Immolator” runs on thumping double-bass drums and crunchy guitar riffs under a chorus built from bright, retro synth lines, with the vocal shifting from a sung verse into screamed sections in the chorus and bridge. FiXT describes the track as “a high-energy collision of hard rock, metalcore, and alternative metal that pairs retro-inspired synthesizers with heavy guitars.” A visualizer for the song is streaming on YouTube.
“Immolator” is out now on all platforms through FiXT.
