IXXI Release Elect Darkness Album
March 24, 2009, 15 years ago
Candlelight Records reports on Swedish black metallers IXXI, whose new album, Elect Darkness, is now available:
"XXI was formed early 2006, in Stockholm, Sweden by Acerbus and Nattdal. Some pre-recordings where made and Totalscorn joined. Some months passed and Avsky and Selin was recruited to the squadron, and the line-up was complete.
In July 2006 IXXI entered Endarker Studio to record the first self-titled album. In October a video for the track 'Ancient Spirits Are' was recorded (see below).
Almost a year after the recording of the IXXI album it was finally released by Total Holocaust Records in June 2007. The very same month, June 2007, IXXI entered Endarker studio once again to record the second opus Assorted Armament. Selin left the band pre to the recording and was replaced by Smoker. The album was released in December 2007 by Sigilla Malae, and about that time IXXI was joined by Talon.
In April, 2008, IXXI signed a contract with Candlelight Records UK, who have released the new album, entitled Elect Darkness. The album was recorded last summer. Smoker and Talon left the band after the recording.
