IXION – French Atmospheric Doom Collective Announce New Album "Evolution"Share Music Video For "The Withering of the Flesh"
Four years following the release of their critically lauded fourth album "L'Adieu aux Etoiles", French atmospheric doom collective IXION return with their forthcoming fifth studio album entitled "Evolution", which is scheduled to be released in late October via Finisterian Dead End/Season of Mist.
Divided between three parts, "Evolution" is a natural successor to "L'Adieu aux Etoiles", delivering an enthralling blend of progressive metal and melancholic and atmospheric doom. Across these three parts, IXION tell a concept and fictional story about the evolution of mankind and the interrelation with androids. Set for release on April 16, "Extinction" is the first part of the album and questions how humanity will struggle with mortality in a world where android technology is rapidly growing and dominating.
Today, the duo share a music video for the opening track "The Withering of the Flesh", check it out here: https://youtu.be/zJvZHVOjJcU?si=RQJLJJ4MpG5kPXke
Originally formed in 2004 as a solo project by main composer and multi-instrumentalist Julien Prat, IXION have carved out a special place within the doom scene, with their singular blend of ambient/electronic music and atmospheric doom metal, drawing inspiration from science-fiction.
