IAMX are returning to Ukraine with their first concert in 5 years
Over the past decade, IAMX, Chris Corner's band, has become a real favorite in Ukraine. Almost every tour in support of a new release could not do without us in the schedule.
The new album Fault Lines¹, released this May, will be no exception. IAMX is going with its presentation even in the face of a full-scale Russian invasion.
November 1, Lviv, !FESTrepublic
From the very beginning of the armed aggression, IAMX stood on the side of Ukraine and supported it in every possible way. And soon IAMX will become one of the few foreign teams who were not afraid to come and show their support in person.
In the spring of 2022, IAMX organized online meetings for Ukrainian fans to somehow distract them from the anxiety and stress they have to face every day. Now they are implementing it offline in the form of a full-fledged concert. This will be the band's first performance in Ukraine since 2018 - that's how long the band has not been in our country. IAMX hasn't toured the rest of the world since 2019. Two years of the pandemic put touring on hold.
During this period, the musicians have gathered enough strength and have already returned to the stage in their best form. Fault Lines¹ is a classic album in the sense of IAMX. 8 tracks filled with cold, screeching electronics with admixtures of industrial. This sound is meant to underline the themes Korner explores within Fault Lines¹. Social inequality, human psychology, fanaticism, mania, lust for self-destruction, and human vulnerability and fragility.
Everything that in one way or another intersects with the reality we live in now. IAMX in Lviv will play not only fresh songs. Both the main recognized hits and fan-favorite tracks will also be played. But the most important thing is that IAMX are bringing their signature show, for which the audience loved them.
The play of light, visual effects, exquisite costumes and masks of Chris Corner, as well as his emotional performance, which can surprise, shock, move, but definitely will not leave anyone indifferent.
