Now available, the long awaited new album “Beneath The Ashes” by the Canadian electro-industrial project Fractured.
A dense and compact album that never stays too long in one place, maintaining an air of tension throughout, just like an ancient continent foreshadowing its destruction. In other words, never a dull moment: club-ready electro tracks alternate with gentle ballads, always keeping the listener on her toes.

“Beneath The Ashes” already has made the “CD of the month” at elektrauma.de, the Sonic Seducer magazine calls the album “The dancefloor soundtrack for the last party of a lost generation.” and the Orkus Magazine predicts: “It will be very difficult to overtake this album. 9/10 points!”.

Free B-Sides From Beneath The Ashes!

Posted by Nick on March 8, 2011

*UPDATE* B-Sides are back online!

As a thank-you to all our fans and to our little group on facebook I’d like to say thanks for keeping in touch and being fans! As you probably already know we are about to release “Beneath The Ashes” at the end of this month on Dependent Records and it’s been 5 long years since the last release so these tracks should give you a bit of an idea of where we are musically now.

Forgive me for some of the singing is pretty bad, some of the music seems a bit incomplete in areas but for the people who like to collect rare tracks I doubt that these will ever get released, and hopefully you find something that you like!

Beneath The Ashes Pre-Order!

Posted by Nick on February 18, 2011

Tales of the legendary island of Atlantis, said to have sunk beneath the waves “in a single day and night of misfortune”, have been told for more than 2,400 years. No matter that it never existed, the fabled continent has been the subject of thousands of books over the centuries, a testament to the enduring power of the Atlantis myth. Still, it is perhaps an unexpected theme to be taken up by a Canadian electro-industrial project. On the other hand, “Canadian electro” has always stood for complex and profound sounds identified with acts like Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, Numb, and Decoded Feedback, so it’s a small step to move from complex sounds to complex themes.

This thematic challenge is taken up by Fractured on the second full-length, “Beneath The Ashes”. Anyone expecting cool, sterile or overly convoluted sounds will be disappointed, as this time around Fractured have incorporated a range of organic elements such as acoustic guitars and orchestral arrangements to bring a new depth to their music. At times reminiscent of a soundtrack, this is a dense and compact album that never stays too long in one place, maintaining an air of tension throughout. In other words, never a dull moment: club-ready electro tracks alternate with gentle ballads, always keeping the listener on her toes.

With their 2006 debut “Only Human Remains”, Fractured established themselves as a remarkable and innovative force in hard electronic music. Immensely popular with fans, the album was showered with accolades from the press like “Album of the Month” and “Newcomer of the Month”. Now, after five long years, comes the follow-up, an album of even more sophisticated arrangements and opulent orchestrations. Fracture move effortlessly between massive, soundtrack-like compositions and rousing tracks with unexpected and often very catchy melodies. The artwork in the 12-page booklet for “Beneath The Ashes”, inspired in places by the trance-readings of the “sleeping prophet” Edgar Cayce (1877-1945), comes courtesy of Dennis Sibeijn, well-known for his work with bands like Slipknot, HIM, Slayer, Disturbed, and many more. A brilliant combination of sound and visuals, this is an album which couldn’t be further removed from electro-mediocrity.

We have added samples from all the tracks to our SoundCloud page ( http://soundcloud.com/fracturedmusic/ ) and we have another great announcement! Beneath The Ashes will be released in North America on Metropolis Records as well as Dependent Records in Europe!

Happy New Year!

Posted by Nick on January 7, 2011

Hey Guys & Girls,

Lots happening right now with the new album and lots of great news and opportunities for 2011! I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years, with the countdown to the end of days we might as well make it the best year ever?

Anyway on Tuesday I sat down with Andy from SilverBirch Productions in Toronto to master the album and it went very very well, I’m extremely happy with the masters and they have been sent off to Dependent, as well as a new label that I can’t spill yet, but it’s exciting news! Here’s a photo of us mastering the album:

We’ve also received some INCREDIBLE artwork from Dennis Sibeijn (http://www.damnengine.net)  Here is a copy of the cover artwork:

Contami-Nation DEMO Free Download

Posted by Nick on October 18, 2010

So in light of our new release and since it’s been 6 years since our last, I’ve decided to post our demo album “Contami-Nation” for free download! It was recorded in 2002-2003 and was my first real attempt at writing electronic music… There are a few demos of the few songs I had written before starting Contami-Nation floating around that I’ve seen in torrents but I’ll save myself the embarrassment.. If people make enough noise I will consider posting b-sides of older tracks that never got released.

Fractured – Contami-Nation
01 – Love Is Cancer
02 – She
03 – Killing Time Inc.
04 – Breaking Glass
05 – Sins
06 – Spread The Disease
07 – Cry Blood
08 – Machine Men
09 – All For You
10 – Five Reasons
11 – Severed Veins
12 – Spread The Disease [Immune Remix by re_agent]

Here’s a picture of what my ‘studio’ looked like back then.
