Today, French atmospheric doom duo Ixion released the first part, Extinction, of its upcoming fifth album, Evolution, due in late October via Finisterian Dead End and Season Of Mist.
Ixion comments: "The album is based on a musical and thematic concept in three parts. It speaks about the evolution of humanity, the expansion of androids, and their crossed future, around an atmospheric, melancholic and progressive doom metal, playing with influences, sometimes orchestral, sometimes electronic. As the first part, Extinction unveils a journey of atmospheric doom filled with symphonic and acoustic soundscapes, both epic and intimate. It will take you into the future, questioning how humanity will struggle with mortality in a world where android technology rises. Extinction will be released tomorrow on all digital platforms. As a whole, the album will also be released physically later this fall".
