French doom metallers Ixion have started working on the follow-up to last year's highly promising album To The Void. The band's debut was nominated at Metal Storm Awards 2011 for the best doom metal album category.

The band posted the following: "It is high time for us to give some news... and we are happy to announce that we are working on the follow-up of To The Void! The composition process is still going on, and we have a lot of new exciting material! It should be much more changeful, and finely-shaded... While keeping some fundamentals in our sound; vastness, melancholia...

We'll dedicate a bigger part to clean and melodic singing, and we're playing with some more up-tempo metal riffs, analog synth sounds, darker atmospheres... Thanks for all the encouragements, expressions of enjoyment, and messages since the release of To The Void! More news to come as soon as possible..."
