All tourdates are listed below.
Singer Brady comments: “As we come to the end of the Páthos cycle, we wanted to share this live performance from our headline set at Radar Festival last year. All You Will Remember is one of the deeper cuts from the record, and is emotionally something that Dani put a lot of themselves into. For me, it shows a different side of what this band is capable of and is something that I hope resonates with people ahead of the new material we’re working on. I’d also like to thank our crew for helping us put the show together and for capturing this moment: we couldn’t do any of this without them.”

Prepare for a sonic onslaught like no other as HIGHSOCIETY‘s highly anticipated new album, DATAMOSH, smashes through genre conventions with a ferocity of a rampaging sonic juggernaut. Merging the worlds of alternative metal, hard rock, and industrial with EDM, DATAMOSH is a relentless exhibition of raw energy, thunderous rhythms, and cutting-edge production.
One of the hallmarks of DATAMOSH is its jaw-dropping roster of collaborations featuring appearances from Micah Martin, ENMY, BVLVNCE, Craig Mabbit (of Escape The Fate), Daedric, Young Medicine, The Anix, Coping Method, Becko, and Protect Your Heart. Each brings their own unique edge to the table amplifying the intensity of every track. With singles like “OBSOLETE” with Coping Method, a brutal metalcore-dubstep crossover that defies convention; “Voices” featuring Micah Martin, a blistering anthem born from an electrifying one-day creative sprint; and “Dead By Dawn” with Daedric, where soaring cinematic grandeur meets punishing breakdowns. And these are just the tip of the iceberg.
At the heart of the album is the concept of “DATAMOSH” — a sonic philosophy that sees HIGHSOCIETY blurring the lines between genres, bending them to his will. It’s a fusion of cybernetic precision and primal human emotion layered over sound. The result? A completely original multifaceted album that’s as unpredictable as it is unforgettable. From dubstep bangers to metal anthems, HIGHSOCIETY’s sonic palette knows no limits.Dropping with the pre-order announcement is “HARM” (feat. The Anix) which premiered yesterday at Outburn. The single brings together the powerhouse rocktronic styles of HIGHSOCIETY and The Anix, combining jagged synths, crushing metal guitars, and intricate breakbeats. Known for their mastery in merging aggressive rock with dynamic electronic elements, the duo create a powerful, melancholic anthem that’s both haunting and hard-hitting.
In his own words HIGHSOCIETY explains, “Working with The Anix on this track is a real full-circle moment for me. I actually found FiXT through his music (I thought it was his label at first). Out of all the amazing collaborators on this album, The Anix is the one I look up to the most. His project has been a huge inspiration, both sonically and visually. This track gave me the chance to explore a more melodic, atmospheric side of my sound to match his vocals, which was a lot of fun. I’m so glad we got to add a ‘slow-motion in the rain’ moment to the album to balance out all the heavier tracks.”
The ascending bass music talent that is known as HIGHSOCIETY has been on a rapid rise as of late, thanks to his addictive blend of stadium-crushing future bass, metallurgic dubstep, and blazing trap. With a seemingly endless torrent of releases across standout labels from FiXT, Barong Family, and Universal Music, to Red Bull Records and Lowly Palace/Trap Nation, HIGHSOCIETY has firmly established himself as one of the most exciting new acts in electronic music. In the past HIGHSOCIETY worked with respected labels such as Dim Mak, Red Bull Records, Island Records, Lowly Palace, Welcome Records, Barong Family, Universal, and now FiXT. He’s also worked with many high-profile artists including Craig Mabbit of Escape The Fate, AWOLNATION, Attack Attack!, Celldweller, Teddy Killerz, The Anix, Big Shaq, Reid Speed, Palisades, Jade, and Le Castle Vania as well as earned sync placements with HBO, MTV, MTV2, ABC Family, Freeform, and Oxygen. He’s performed live with Steve Aoki, Knife Party, Kill The Noise, Slushii, Modestep, GTA, and Elohim at many live festivals including but not limited to Live 105 BFD Festival, Bottlerock Festival, Amsterdam Dance Event, and many headline shows across the US.
The Anix is the alternative / electro-rock project of Los Angeles artist/producer Brandon Smith. Known for pushing creative boundaries with his genre-bending mix of alternative rock with dark melancholic undertones drenched in an array of synthesizers, The Anix’s music has captured the attention of global editorial curators with prominent features across official playlists from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Yandex Music, and more. The Anix has received press support from outlets like Revolver, Billboard, Substream, and Outburn magazines as well as features in TV and video game franchises including Call of Duty, DC Comics, Sony Playstation, Destiny, Mass Effect, and WWE.
Brandon has a deep connection with experimental fashion and has been active as a visual designer working with brands like Nike, Asus, Oakley, McLaren, Acura, and Acronym. As The Anix, he has built an ongoing partnership with DSPTCH, creating highly innovative Biothane® modular guitar straps, belts, and accessories which have been seen on Hypebeast, Uncrate, and Guitar World. He has fostered, over the past 15 years, a collaborative artist relationship with Fender, producing custom one-off Jaguars as a common weapon of choice found in The Anix’s music and videos.
As a performer in the modern era, The Anix abandoned traditional touring and embraced digital live-streaming with a special Live In Los Angeles digital event powered by Bandcamp in early 2022, with fans tuning in from across six continents. Since 2018, The Anix has released six full-length studio albums with the independent record label FiXT, including Shadow Movement, Hologram, GRAPHITE, REVENGE, NIGHTVISION, and his latest album VOLTAGE which released in late 2024.
One day before their appearance on Stefan Raab’s “Chefsache ESC 2025 – Wer singt für Deutschland”, the German preliminary round for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel, FEUERSCHWANZ release their new song “Knightclub” with Dag-Alexis Kopplin from SDP as a featured guest. With its catchy hook and infectious dancefloor beats, “Knightclub” is a track that will create the perfect atmosphere at any metal show. The accompanying music video, which also features Kopplin, underlines this character and combines the light-heartedness and vibes of the band’s early party metal days with the impressive transformation that FEUERSCHWANZ have undergone with their last few albums.
With their modern folk metal sound, the Nuremberg-based band has risen to the top of the genre. Their last two studio albums, Memento Mori(2021) and Fegefeuer (2023), both debuted at #1 on the official German album charts. Recent headline tours were nearly all sold out, they have secured prime spots at the largest festivals, and their songs and videos have garnered millions of streams. One standout moment was their 20th anniversary show at the end of 2024—an unforgettable Metfest performance in front of over 7,000 ecstatic fans, and the biggest in the event’s history.
FEUERSCHWANZ on “Knightclub”: “‘Knightclub’ is the essence of 20 years of FEUERSCHWANZ. A strong brew of the heaviest riffs and most epic hooks we have ever written come together with the greatest heroes from the world of fantasy and history. As a special accolade, we have enlisted the support of Dag-Alexis Kopplin from SDP! Descend into the dungeons with us, experience a crazy musical trip and rise up as ladies, lords, shieldmaidens, heroes and knights of the ‘Knightclub’!”
Tomorrow, Saturday, FEUERSCHWANZ will once again swap the festival stage for a TV appearance as one of 14 acts competing in the semi-finals of Germany’s Eurovision Song Contest preliminary round. Chosen from over 3,000 applications, the band impressed the jury—led by Stefan Raab, Yvonne Catterfeld, and Elton—in the first show on February 14 with their cover of O-Zone’s “Dragostea din tei.” This Saturday, the jury will once again vote on whether they move on, or their journey ends early. The live final, broadcast on ARD and hosted by NDR on March 1, will see viewers choosing the winning act, who will go on to represent Germany in Basel. Barbara Schöneberger will host all shows.
The semi-finals and final of “Chefsache ESC 2025 – Wer singt für Deutschland” will be broadcast live on the primetime show on German TV at the following times:
Saturday, February 22, 2025 | 08.15pm CET | RTL Final: Saturday, March 1, 2025 | 08.15pm CET | Das Erste
The band comments: “The album weaves it’s way through the life’s melancholy, braving the endless sea and the dangers of deep waves and shipwrecks. The cogs of the perpetual motion machine are always moving and unwanted people are on the prowl. The vessel’s purifying flames are fading, but one must sail on.”

The groove continues with the rhythm guitarist Nico Välkkilä‘s iron grip and high-flying lifestyle.
The lead guitarist Jarkko Oksman can also be held responsible for the song writing and composing. He stretches chords placing the cherry on top when putting the songs together.
The songs get their final form and polishing with the teamwork from the entire band by getting flavour from politics, movies and games. The band also doesn’t shy away when it comes to breaking the barriers of different music genres.
DEAD END IRONY‘s founding words were pronounced at city of Imatra, Finland in 2010 and now the band is about to release their first full-length album “Battles and brotherhood”. The fourth single now released from the album is called “Gone”, which sounds in the tones of classic 80’s European Heavy Metal.
The song is written by the band and it’s produced by Teemu Aalto (Insomnium, Ginger Evil, Marianas Rest).
“The song combines melodic elements with a hard hitting riff. There is a lot of repressed emotions in the lyrics. Gone is a song about what it feels like to keep fighting even when you know you’ve lost because you don’t know what else to do.” tells the lyricist Antti Vainio.
