Fire-Toolz is the enigmatic and genre-defying musical project helmed by Chicago-based artist Angel Marcloid. Seamlessly welding together elements of vaporwave, black metal, industrial, ambient, jazz fusion, and various electronic music styles, Fire-Toolz is known for an aesthetic that is as eclectic and unpredictable as it is arresting. Marcloid, who uses they/them pronouns, has cultivated a distinctive sound that is both viscerally emotive and intellectually engaging, often complemented by a visual component that delves into abstract and surreal territories.

The project's discography showcases a fearless approach to experimentation, with recent releases such as "Tai Shan" and "The Great Allower" continuing to push the boundaries of electronic music. Fire-Toolz tracks like "I Couldn't Have Been BoRn At ThE wRoNg TiMe Because I Was Never Even Born LOL!" highlight Marcloid's ability to blend humor with introspection, while their proficiency in musical craftsmanship shines through in the complex layers of "1.2 Silver Cyborg Symposium." Fire-Toolz also remixes and reinterprets its own work, as seen in versions like "It Is Happening Again (Thank You, Angel!) [Dub]" and "Soda Lake With Game Genie (Dub)," which offer new dimensions to the original compositions. Through this constant reinvention and exploration, Fire-Toolz invites listeners on an otherworldly journey, emphatically proving that categorization is futile in the face of genuine artistic innovation.
