IAMX ANNOUNCES FAULT LINES1 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR + TWO NEW ALBUMS
Chris Cornerβs beautifully dark cult electronic project IAMX returns this year with two evocative new albums and tours. Today the project announces the FAULT LINES1 Tour which will see Corner and his live band performing across North America and Europe for the first time since 2019. The spring tour across North America will follow the release of the first lyrically-driven IAMX album in as many years, with a second full album and European tour coming this fall.
The cold, grinding, synthetic soundscapes of Fault Lines1 combine with biting lyrical themes of psychological fracture, social division, and the ineffable forces of nature. Both albums showcase a new, harder side of IAMX while elevating the melody and emotions at the core of the project to new heights.
βITβS A DEEP RELIEF TO HAVE MY MUSIC LIFE BACK. I TRULY THOUGHT THE TOXIC COMBINATION OF DESTRUCTIVE AND BLOOD-SUCKING STREAMING PLATFORMS LIKE SPOTIFY AND THE BLACK VOID THAT COVID LEFT US WITH WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR INDEPENDENT ARTISTS. ITβS BEEN ANOTHER LESSON IN SELF COMPASSION AND HUMILITY.
BUT HERE WE ARE. TWO AMAZING TOURS COMING AND THE RELEASE OF MATERIAL THATβS BEEN IN MY HEAD FOR YEARS. THESE THEMES ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ME.
ALL THE DRAMA, THE BLEAK HARD TECHNOLOGY AND THE EMOTIONS. ME, MY MUSIC, MY BAND AND MY BEAUTIFUL AUDIENCE INTERTWINED AGAIN IN OUR UNIQUE, FREAKY ECSTASY.
IβM READY..β ~CHRIS CORNER, IAMX
On stage the band, comprised of Corner and longtime live collaborators Janine Gezang (vocals, keys, bass) and Jon Siren (drums), will combine muscular classics from throughout the expansive IAMX catalog with the bold new material of . Fans can expect the awe of IAMXβs psycho-sexual, explosive and passionate performance paired with striking theatrical lights, visuals, filth glam and the bandsβ never-ending existential need to become one with the audience.
The North American tour will end with a bang in Los Angeles, CA, a city full of inspiration that is deeply intertwined with IAMX. Opening the night will be Skinny Puppy co-founder cEvin Key, with a unique electronic dance set, written and programmed specifically for this event. Additional support acts for the tour will be announced soon.
