U.S. rockers Fight The Fade have released their highly anticipated album Isolationist, out now across all DSPs from FiXT.
Isolationist picks up where their 2022 release APOPHYSITIS left off, exploring the turbulent human psyche. This hard-hitting collection of 12 tracks delves into themes of solitude and self-reflection, delivering a sonic storm that is both fierce and energetic, as well as raw and captivating. From thunderous riffs, heavy rhythms, to brutal vocals, Isolationist captures the unbridled fury of hard rock and alternative metal, fused with the relentless energy of metalcore. Fight The Fade masterfully combines heavy riffs, infectious melodies, and emotionally charged lyrics, creating an album that is both fierce and introspective.
“’Isolationist’ is an album that was the result of a lot of trial and error to find what direction we wanted to go in,” explains Fight The Fade. “The title is also somewhat of a reflection of how we wrote it as well. We basically locked ourselves in a room, and threw a lot of ideas around to see what would stick. But the intentionality, and the attention to detail in this record are all a result of that time “isolating” ourselves to focus on these songs. I think we’ve created something really exciting, special, and meaningful.”
From the opening track “The Storm,” which thrusts listeners into the whirlwind that is “The Eye Of The Hurricane,” an appearance from label mate Daedric on the combative track “Scratching,” to “Next Sunrise” which delivers an explosive soundscape driven by intense rhythms, thrashing guitars, and daring vocals, Fight The Fade have more than maintained their signature heavy-hitting edge. The album includes “Quarantine,” a visceral plea for space amidst inner struggle, “Revolution,” a fight song that encapsulates the heart of the album’s message showcasing Fight The Fade’s ability to masterfully incorporate synthesizers, heavy guitar work, brutal vocals, and themed narratives into a collection of 12 masterworks that range from beautifully anthemic to absolute fatality.
Releasing today with the album is the new single “Revolution” which premiered yesterday at Revolver Mag. “Revolution is a fight song,” explains Fight The Fade. “The heart of any revolution is to fight for what you believe in, and that is who I want to be. Someone who fights for the things I love, and the things I believe.”
