French atmospheric doom band Ixion has revealed a brand new video for the song "The Advent". Hugo Le Beller directed the video, featuring performances by Raphaël Mars and Irène Bonnot. The track is taken from the band's newest EP Restriction. It marks another exciting prelude to their highly anticipated fifth studio album, Evolution, set to be released in late October via Finisterian Dead End and Season of Mist.
The band comments: "We are so excited to share with you this video for 'The Advent'! The song is about androids working to replicate emotions, and the first of them to finally experience feelings. We tried to create a short story around this theme, playing with characters and surroundings."
"The Advent" offers a visually stunning and thought-provoking glimpse into a world where androids strive to understand and emulate human emotions. The narrative weaves a short story that aligns perfectly with the overarching concept of their upcoming album, Evolution.
Following the critically acclaimed album L'Adieu aux Etoiles (2020), Evolution is divided into three parts, each delving into different aspects of the human-android relationship. The album is an enthralling blend of progressive metal, melancholic, and atmospheric doom, showcasing Ixion's unique sound. Link
