About IX

Ix: February 2007

We are Ix, this is what people have said about us:

Mythopoeia (2005 2-track EP)

This demo from Edinburgh's Ix features two songs spanning thirty-two minutes. Droning sludgy doom of the distinctly nasty variety is fragmented by quieter passages of slowly building powerful cresendos. The ebb and flow of the lengthy songs, as well as the quieter sections, prove distinctly reminiscent of post rock, while in their heavier moments Ix can provide monolithic walls of feedback and acerbic screams. Very impressive stuff for such a young band. 4/5 Zero Tolerance Magazine

'Mythopoeia' and 'Stone Burner' are the two tracks on offer from this Isis meets Boris quintet. Over 30-minutes-long, thankfully IX don't fall into the trap of over-repetition and insipidness as a result of atempting the 'epic'. In both cases they create an intense atmosphere that leaves the listener anticipating the overall outcome above impressive cresendos and gutteral growls. Keep your eyes peeled. 7.5/10 Terrorizer Magazine

Ix/Naked Shit (2006 4-track split EP)

IX's aim is to make a slow, ugly racket but in fact their two tracks, though played at a snail's pace, are more haunting and sad than nasty, roughly in the vein of early Finnish doomsters like Skepticism. It's a decent enough take on the formula, but there's work to be done in defining a bit more of a band identity. 5.5/10 Terrorizer Magazine

"The cover artwork for "Split EP" depicts a darkened room, a bright window and a single branch. Like these images, the music is ambiguous. It's doom of the slowest kind, where lyrics are absent and musical themes scant. Without these conventional structures, the four songs wander aimlessly and make the listener feel as though their braincells are drowning in a mire of treacle. It's an interesting effect but it becomes tiresome after the first few minutes - never mind 74. Final song "Silver Machine" is the most interesting, as low-level animalistic screams pierce the drone. Sadly, it's a small flicker of excitement in a soporific soundscape, making this EP a good cure for insomniacs." Rock Sound Magazine
