As WAR Records prepares to release the Into The Pain flexi from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania hardcore outfit FIXATION, No Echo is hosting the exclusive premiere of the EP’s “You Feel Nothing.”
Into The Pain explodes with FIXATION’s take on classic, ripping hardcore, unloading four agitated tracks in under five minutes. The EP was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Wyatt Oberholzer at The Knife Lair (Year Of The Knife, Struck Nerve, Drowse) and finished with artwork by Linas Garsys (American Nightmare, Ceremony, World Be Free).
Offers FIXATION vocalist Matthew Green, “I wrote ‘You Feel Nothing’ with my upbringing in mind; examining my relationship with vulnerability, confrontation, and regret.”
nto The Pain will released as a flexi and through all digital outlets on May 10th through WAR Records, the label founded by Andrew Kline of Strife and Berthold City. Preorders have been posted at the label webshop HERE and Bandcamp HERE.
With an emphasis on lyrical potency and fast, aggressive songwriting, FIXATION has pulled no punches since their formation in late 2017. Comprised of current and former members of Drowse, The Dividing Line, New Heart, and Time’s Up, the band delivers combative, pointed hardcore for fans of Rival Mob, Nerve Agents, Arms Race, Youth Of Today, No Tolerance, and Infest.
FIXATION has taken their anthems on the road across the Eastern and Midwest US on several tours, performing alongside Strife, Regional Justice Center, Rule Them All, Vantage Point, Leeway, Miracle Drug, Chokehold, Vitamin X, Restraining Order, and others, and has performed at FYA Fest, This Is Hardcore, and other notable gatherings over the past two years.
