SEE: IAMX Releases New Song & Psycho-Sexual Video
IAMX, the x Id, Alternative Rock, psychedelic rock

IAMX’s anticipated new single The X ID is out now ahead of the new album Fault Lines1, due out May 12th.

The song is the first new lyrical material from the project since 2018’s Alive In New Light and builds on the grinding modular sounds of 2021’s Machinate

The first of two albums across the next year, the Fault Lines project explores the rifts and fractures of our lives, both psychologically and within the tangible world. 

I AM HUMBLED THAT , HERE AT IAMX HQ EVERYONE IS FULLY PRESENT, DEDICATED AND INVESTED IN SERVING THIS ART AND AUTHENTICALLY LIVING AN ALTERNATIVE LIFE IN MENTAL AND PHYSICAL FREEDOM .

THIS VIDEO IS A DOCUMENT OF THAT FREEDOM .

THE X ID IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN A MAJOR PART OF MY PERSONALITY . IT IS MY BRUTAL , PROVOCATIVE GENDER BENDING SCREAMING INNER DEMON , MY MAGNETIC SWAGGERING HEDONISTIC EGO , THE DEEPEST DARKEST BEAUTIFUL ME WHICH I AM ABLE TO LIVE OUT THROUGH THIS MUSIC . ON STAGE , IN VIDEOS , THROUGH MY COMMUNITY .

OVER TIME I HAVE LEARNT TO EMBRACE , INHABIT AND WIELD THIS X ID . WITHOUT HESITATION OR GUILT .

AND I SEE IT AS MY DUTY TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO EMBODY AND EXPRESS WHO THEY ARE . – CHRIS CORNER, IAMX​

The video shows off the X ID in all its psychedelic, androgynous glory. Playing with themes of gender, S&M and unreality, in the video we watch Corner guide us through a sensory overload of nature where he appears as a fever dream guiding us towards a reunion with the land via our own self exploration. Heightening the sense of desire, our own childlike id is exposed through a sexually charged exchange full of mud and lust, asking: Who are we free to be when we leave the weight of social constructs behind us?
