Four years after their critically acclaimed album “L’Adieu aux Étoiles,” Ixion returns with “Evolution,” a three-part concept album released as individual EPs. This ambitious project explores the evolution of mankind, its interactions with androids, and the rise of post-humanism and will be released on October 25th via Finisterian Dead End Records.
The first chapter, “Extinction,” released in April, delves into humanity’s struggle with mortality in a world dominated by advancing android technology. This EP guides listeners through Atmospheric Doom, blending Symphonic and acoustic soundscapes that feel both epic and intimate.
“Restriction,” released in June, shifts focus to the constrained existence of robots and androids, emphasizing their desire for emancipation. This installment features a more electronic approach to Doom Metal, heavily influenced by ’70s and ’80s Ambient Electronic Music, Synthwave and Sci-Fi classics like “Blade Runner.”
The final chapter, “Regeneration,” was issued on October 18, 2024 and imagines a future where human consciousness is transferred into new biotechnological bodies. This EP merges the styles of the previous releases while introducing fresh structures that bridge hybrid and ethereal Doom Metal elements.
