Thunder Bay based heavy outfit The Fixer unleashed “Ugly Knots,” a punishing single that arrived alongside their “The Ugly Knots Tour,” which wrapped earlier this fall with hometown allies Teknosis. Blending industrial metal abrasion with hardcore urgency and atmospheric tension, the track surges from harsh electronics and serrated riffs into a sweeping melodic release. The structure mirrors the song’s emotional arc, pulling listeners through confrontation, release, and resolve in one unbroken motion.
“Ugly Knots” stands as one of the band’s most focused and expressive statements, pairing crushing weight with intent and clarity. A spoken word passage delivered by John Forget adds lived in gravity, grounding the song’s message of strength and resilience. The track hits with force and purpose, capturing a defining moment for The Fixer and preserving the intensity of a chapter already lived loud on stage.
