DEAD REGISTER Announces Fiber (10th Anniversary Deluxe Remaster), First Single “Fiber” Available Now

Feb 23, 2026

Atlanta-based doomgaze trio DEAD REGISTER announces the release of Fiber (10th Anniversary Deluxe Remaster), arriving May 22, 2026 via AVR. Marking ten years since the band’s first full-length album reshaped their trajectory, the anniversary edition restores the original recordings with renewed depth and clarity while preserving the immediacy and emotional weight that made the record endure far beyond its initial release.

Alongside the announcement, DEAD REGISTER unveils the remastered version of the album’s defining centerpiece, “Fiber,” available now on all streaming platforms.

Originally recorded in 2016 with minimal overdubs and performed largely live in the studio, Fiber (10th Anniversary Deluxe Remaster) captures DEAD REGISTER at a formative moment when instinct guided every decision. Built entirely from bass instruments, synthesizers, live drums, and voice, the album established the band’s unmistakable low-frequency identity and laid the foundation for a decade of touring and subsequent releases.

“Fiber” stands as one of the most essential compositions in the DEAD REGISTER catalog. Driven by hypnotic repetition and slow-burning tension, the track moves with ritualistic momentum, balancing heaviness with dark melodic restraint. Over the years, it has become a staple of the band’s live performances, frequently closing sets as audiences demand its immersive and cathartic release.

The remastered edition enhances the sonic density of the original recordings without sacrificing their raw human energy. Engineer and mastering specialist Dan Dixon revisited the material to reveal new dimensionality within the performances, allowing the interplay between rhythm, atmosphere, and vocal presence to resonate with greater physical impact.

Fiber (Remastered 10th Anniversary Ed) documents a band discovering its voice in real time. Sequenced as a continuous emotional arc, the album moves through isolation, intimacy, existential reflection, and controlled destruction before returning to its origin point through a newly included live bonus track, “Reverse (Live Bonus Track),” captured during the band’s original 2016 album release performance.

Since its initial release, DEAD REGISTER has continued to evolve through relentless touring and critically acclaimed releases, yet Fiber remains a cornerstone of the band’s identity. The anniversary edition serves both longtime listeners and new audiences, presenting the album as it was meant to be experienced: immersive, physical, and deeply human.

About DEAD REGISTER:

DEAD REGISTER formed in Atlanta, Georgia in 2013 with a singular intention to explore emotional and sonic weight through sound existing almost entirely in the lowest possible register. Built around bass instruments, synthesizers, piano, live drums, and a commanding baritone vocal presence, the band constructs immersive environments that favor atmosphere, tension, and physical impact over convention. The absence of guitar became foundational early on, allowing DEAD REGISTER to carve out a distinct identity rooted in density, space, and hypnotic repetition.

Founded by M. Chvasta and Avril Che, the project quickly evolved from experimentation into a fully realized live entity, later solidified through years of touring across the United States and Canada. The band’s performances emphasize raw execution with no backing tracks or artificial reinforcement, translating studio material into an immediate and visceral live experience shaped by volume, movement, and human interaction. Visual presentation remains inseparable from the music, with Che directing and producing the band’s video work and visual media entirely in-house.

Across multiple releases including Fiber, Captive, Don’t Fail Me, and Alive, DEAD REGISTER has developed a body of work defined by bleak romanticism, dark humor, noir atmosphere, and moments of unexpected vulnerability. Their sound draws from post-metal, gothic rock, industrial textures, and experimental songwriting while remaining resistant to easy classification. Each release expands the emotional vocabulary established at the band’s inception while maintaining an unwavering commitment to authenticity and physical sonic presence.

DEAD REGISTER operates as an ongoing exploration of connection, collapse, desire, and survival. The band continues to refine its approach through relentless live performance, collaborative visual art, and a dedication to creating music that resonates as both personal confrontation and shared catharsis.

DEAD REGISTER is:

  • M. Chvasta – Vocals, Bass VI, Bass IV
  • Avril Che – Bass Synth, 88 Keys, Vocals, Visual Media
  • Greg Meisenberg – Drums (Curren
