Giobia - X-ÆON (2025)
X-ÆON is a vivid and expansive journey through cosmic soundscapes—Giöbia harness the dreamlike textures of psychedelia, the weight of heavy riffing, and a restless sense of exploration all at once. From the opener “Voodoo Experience,” the band plunge into turbulent, swirling atmospheres where reverb-drenched guitars and hypnotic drums open portals to another dimension. Tracks like “Fractal Haze” and “The Death of the Crows” layer intensive heaviness with shimmering synthesizer washes, creating moments of collision and contemplation. The album’s second half, especially the multi-part suite “La Mort De La Terre,” stands out as a narrative arc—a merging of sci-fi apocalypse and meditative reflection, anchored by shifting moods and evolving themes. Ultimately, X-ÆON feels like both a destination and a launchpad—it honors Giöbia’s roots in space psych rock while daring to stretch into the vast unknown.
