French atmospheric doom metal trio Ixion have signed with Avantgarde Music for the release of their upcoming album To the Void, tentatively planned for release at the end of february 2011.

To the Void will feature 10 new tracks for a total lenght of 56 minutes. The opening track of the album, called "Beyond The Skies", as well as an album medley are uploaded on the band's MySpace profile.

The band stated: "We are very happy about this partnership and to be part of the new era of this well-known label."

Avantgarde Music released the following statement: "Ixion from France was the first band we add to, what we like to call, our "new era" roster. And "why signing Ixion...?" (YES, there will always be a reason now and on to sign a band and not just "things that happen"...), well basically because we liked a lot their overall atmosphere, the whole mood, the sound design in its integrity and not only for the detail (something you can't catch from the one song preview we have posted here).

There is also a nostalgic reason if we wanna call it that way: this record moved some longly forgotten emotions and memories in my blood and mind. In a (current) time when "doom metal" went all directions outwards (sludge, drone, funeral, stoner, gothic whatever reggae-doom!) from what it once was in the mid 90's or even a bit earlier than that, we liked Ixion's simple yet complex in the same time formula. A formula based on the essential numbers: atmosphere, mood, good musical melodies.

On their debut album To the Void, Ixion will never be that extreme as Russian funeral doom undertakers are, and we guarantee they will never be cheesy as female fronted gothic metal bands are and probably not as trendy as today's all presumed sludgy/stony US-doom rooted bands are (a.k.a. the post Southern Lord epidemy)

In fact they essentially are a mid-tempo paced doom metal band with an Albion 90's imprinting, for all those like us who didn't forget early Anathema and My Dying Bride, with some more actual referrals in the like of Finnish atmoshepric doom metal bands (Shape Of Despair, Swallow The Sun etc) even though the role of keyboards is quite higher in Ixion, taking their sound to maybe a wider, though softer at times, level."

01. Beyond The Skies
02. The Plague
03. Leaving
04. New Heaven
05. Fear Of The Hidden
06. Rebellion
07. Falling To Apathy

French atmospheric doom metal band Ixion are set to release their new full-length album To The Void. You can check out a teaser at this location.

Three years after the very good reception of the band's demo Through The Space We Die, this album, with 10 new tracks, represents a new step for Ixion with a better production and a more varied music. The general atmosphere is still spatial and emotional, with more contrasts in the music, from really dark or agressive parts to totally ambient ones.

The band stated: "Guitars, drums, orchestrations, and of course vocals have evolved significantly - we have worked on really fragile and airy parts, while some black metal screams have also appeared and deep grunts are still prevailing. As for the keyboards, ambient and cold electronic elements, they still play an important role in our atmospheric doom metal! About the story, it narrates a journey from the Earth to the depths of the space, and as the title emphasizes, this trip ends with the void..."

The album has been produced, recorded and mixed by the band. Ixion are now searching for a label to release it.

Head over to this location for the four-minute sampler!
