Many moons ago French doomsters Ixion released To The Void, a tasty atmospheric doom release that I particularly enjoyed. After a four year hibernation in deep space somewhere (or possibly a chalet somewhere in the French alps) they have returned with Enfant De La Nuit, or "Child of the Night".

Their core sound remains. It is "atmospheric doom", which is a way of saying slow riffs absolutely drenched in keyboards with mournful guitar melodies over the top. It is also the doom equivalent of easy listening. It is relaxing and can easily draw you in for a cool chill voyage floating around the cosmos.

Waiting for Erik to (come back from the dead and) flip out about this.

It was nice of the label to ship this before the release date so I could get it only a couple of days after the release. Wish Amazon would do that.

Don't know about this. I either really loved it and think it's an improvement over the debut, or maybe it doesn't even come close. I enjoyed it at the very least.
