Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the debut, self-titled Celldweller album, FiXT has announced the Celldweller Definitive Edition 3-LP Vinyl and expanded 3-album Digital version featuring remastered audio along with dozens of bonus tracks and all new remixes and re-imagined versions of iconic tracks from the album. The vinyl and digital versions of the album are available for pre-order now from FiXT with December ‘23 and February ‘24 release dates, respectively.

Available today is a brutal Metalcore re-imagination of the hit Celldweller track “Switchback” from synth metal / deathcore artist and label-mate, The Browning. This high-octane reinterpretation of the track is nothing short of defiance as The Browning infuses it with heavier vocals and guitars with all new lyrics in the bridge. It may be too late to switchback but there’s still more to come. 

“It was a big moment for myself and FiXT when we inked a deal with Jonny (The Browning).  The next natural step was to figure out something we could work on together. The idea that excited us the most was Jonny not simply just doing a remix, but instead reimagining “Switchback” as a song by The Browning. As a fan of Jonny’s I love this version of the song and I know Celldweller fans will too.” – Klayton (Celldweller)

Featured on the Celldweller Definitive Edition album are new remix / collaborative appearances by The Browning, TESSERACTS, Void Chapter, Nouveau Arcade, Toronto Is Broken, Kodeseven, Kaixo, Drumcorps, Zardonic, Cassetter,and more.The Celldweller Definitive Edition features all new artwork and marks the 2nd pressing of the album on vinyl in a new, limited edition 3-LP package.

“I had no idea that making the debut Celldweller album 20 years ago would ultimately be the thing that would change the trajectory of my career. From every song being licensed to Film, TV, and Video Games, to worldwide tours, and launching my own record label, FiXT, which would go on to support the careers of 50+ artists over the last 17 years. Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, we have curated the ‘Definitive Edition’ which includes a brand new remastering of the original album along with dozens of bonus tracks, rarities, remixes and re-imaginations of the original songs. 

To those who have been listening over the past 20 years, I truly appreciate your support and plan on making a lot more Celldweller music over the next 20. Stay tuned. :):” – Klayton (Celldweller)

“DXD is my dream project. Taking the anthemic synth rock side of The Browning, and giving that sound its own identity is just awesome.” – Jonny McBee, The Browning

“We’re excited to give Jonny (aka The Browning) the creative freedom to build a new sonic world with DEATH X DESTINY. He’s developed a cult-following for The Browning and with iconic songs like “Skybreaker” garnering their own dedicated fanbase, it made sense for him to build a whole project in that direction and allow The Browning to go even heavier. He’s establishing a whole new world for his fans to explore and we’re proud to give him a home to do it.” – James Rhodes, FiXT Vice President & Co-Founder

“DEATH X DESTINY is a really special and unique project that showcases our diversity of sound. The group has elements of synthwave, rock, trance, and metal all rolled into one. They really have a sound that is representative of FiXT’s widely varied roster, which is super cool to me. They are a breath of fresh air in the metal scene and I’m super stoked to see how far we can help this project grow!” – Dave Hansen, FiXT A&R Manager

FiXT is proud to announce the exclusive signing of Beyond Unbroken, the Rock / Metalcore project from original co-founding members of Escape The Fate – Monte and Michael Money.  The signing kicks off with a release of the Deluxe Edition of Running Out Of Time and will continue with new music over a multi-album deal over the next several years. Beyond Unbroken may be familiar to  FiXT fans having made an appearance on the FiXT Radium: Nova compilation with their innovative single “With Or Without Me” in 2021.

“The Running Out Of Time Deluxe Edition album also features a remix of “Running Out Of Time” courtesy of labelmate The Anix, along with some additional bonus tracks and a re-mastered version of the title track with updated production.

“I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated fans who’ve eagerly awaited for what’s next from Beyond Unbroken. I’m happy to say that the wait is finally over! It brings me great joy to announce that the band has officially signed with FiXT, 

We’re thrilled to present the Running Out of Time (Deluxe Edition). This special edition features a new remaster from the title track, accompanied by brand-new instrumentals for your enjoyment.

A big thank you goes out to the incredible team at FiXT. We are genuinely excited about the future ahead for Beyond Unbroken.

Stay tuned this is just the beginning!” – Michael Money, Beyond Unbroken

“This is a group that we’ve been wanting to work with for a long time! When they sent us their newest material we were blown away at the quality. I later came to find out that their new stuff is all self-produced, which is even more impressive. This band has a great variety of genres/styles from track to track. They also have a strong ability to create heavy music, with super memorable hooks. Beyond Unbroken has the potential to be amongst the likes of Bad Omens, Spiritbox, and all your favorite modern metalcore that you know and love!” – Dave Hansen, FiXT A&R Manager

“FiXT is extremely proud to be working with Beyond Unbroken. This brings a new sound to the FiXT roster as we expand our depth in Rock, Punk, and Metal. The story behind this project and the strife from which it was born as a metamorphosis for Michael and Monte coming from Escape The Fate in a major label deal with Interscope to starting fresh as an independent project is one to behold. They have faced staggering obstacles and emerged as Beyond Unbroken. We can’t wait to see how far they will go in the coming years. “ – James Rhodes, FiXT Vice President & Co-Founder

“I first heard Beyond Unbroken in 2020 and we were able to release one of their tracks on the Radium: Nova compilation in 2021. Their music is full of memorable hooks, modern production and great songwriting. With that said you can understand why I’m excited to announce they have officially joined the FiXT family.” – Klayton, FiXT President & Co-Founder


Out today with the Deluxe Edition is a new remaster of the title track “Running Out Of Time.”

In a world of boundaries Beyond Unbroken refuses to be defined by one genre. Founded by former Escape The Fate members, brothers Monte and Michael Money, the band habitually crosses the lines, mixing genres the way an artist mixes paint with results that often defy expectation. 

They released their first single “Under Your Skin” in 2015 and debuted their first independent EP Don’t Wake The Dead in 2017 with producer Matt Good of From First To Last. The EP was well received with the animated video “Overdose” earning millions of views upon release. Their first debut album, Running Out of Time, followed in 2020 with singles earning millions of streams and premiering on Alt Press. 

On April 29, 2020, the band covered Lil Peep and Twenty One Pilots mashup, “Falling Down + Heathens” and it remains the band’s most streamed track to this day. In 2021 the band released a one-off single “With Or Without Me” on the FiXT Radium Compilation which eventually led to the band signing with the label in 2023.

Running Out Of Time (Deluxe Edition) is now available from FiXT.

Led by frontman Jonny McBee, The Browning has undergone a transformation, embracing a “New Era” that promises to be bigger, better, and heavier than ever before and introduces the band’s line-up now comprising of three familiar names: Jonny McBee, Hardcore Keem, and Cody Stewart. 

Jonny McBee, vocalist and songerwriter for The Browning, is a trailblazing presence in the metal scene, is also known for his role as the host and operator of the widely acclaimed “Burn This World Podcast,” which is set to make its triumphant return in the near future. Another plot twist to look forward to, Jonny McBee is set to embark on a parallel journey, launching a groundbreaking new side project: DEATH X DESTINY with FiXT in the near future.

Hardcore Keem, the band’s guitarist, brings his unique vision and sound to The Browning. Originally just a fan of the band, he officially joined The Browning on tour in 2022, now becoming a staple for the band’s future and marketing.

Cody Stewart, drummer for The Browning is a seasoned musician with an impressive track record. As a mixing and mastering engineer, his clients include Nothing Nowhere, Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy), Epic Games (Fortnite), Lorna Shore, and many others. His expertise in mixing and mastering heavy music is a key point of the band’s intensity moving into this new era.

“The Browning is FiXT’s largest signing to date, and we are super excited to have them! They are a staple in the “electronic-core” genre that came about in the 2010’s era, and it’s an honor to have them on the roster. They are a huge inspiration for many electronic metal bands that have come about in the last ten years. It’s been great working with them so far, and I’m so excited to see how their sound evolves in their time with FiXT.”– Dave Hansen, FiXT A&R

The Browning has consistently pushed the boundaries of music, fusing genres and redefining heavy sounds. The band’s new line-up sets the stage for an electrifying chapter in their journey. 

“Jonny and The Browning have been on my radar for long time. I loved his 2019 remix of my Celldweller track “A Matter of Time”. Fast forward 4 years and here we are… excited to announce he’s officially joining the FiXT family.” – Klayton, FiXT President & Co-Founder

The Browning is an electronic metal band founded by Jonny McBee as a solo project in 2005. In 2010 The Browning transitioned into a full band and has toured the world and put out five albums. The Browning‘s current lineup is Jonny McBee, Cody Stewart, and Hardcore Keem.
