Two years after the release of Inner - Space ISON is ready for a new era.\u003cbr\u003eOver 70 minutes of cosmic channeling written, performed \u0026amp; produced by Änghede (ex-Crippled Black Phoenix, Hearts Of Black Science) and\u003cbr\u003efeaturing a different vocalist on each track. The album starts with the voice of Vila, then surf the waves thanks to Oceans Of Slumber’s Cammie Gilbert, Lisa Cuthbert, blackgaze\/post-metal singer Sylvaine, Aeonian Sorrow’s Gogo Melone, Lethian Dreams’ Carline Van Roos, circle\u0026amp;wind and in the end drifts away with Lycia’s Tara Vanflower. Guests on Aurora do not end with voices though, as additional bass lines\u003cbr\u003eare provided by Niklas Sandin from Katatonia, as well as synths are performed by Mark Furnevall (Venus Principle and ex-Crippled Black Phoenix).\u003cbr\u003eThis is how Änghede expressed himself about his new opus: “After Heike Langhans left the band in late 2019 the future of ISON was unsure, but it didn´t take long before I was feeling the urge to write again, and I decided to continue as a solo artist. I spent the entire 2020 writing and recording what would later evolve into my most ambitious album to date! I knew from the start that I wanted to invite friends and vocalists I admire to sing on the album, rather than finding a permanent vocalist, and it gave the songs their own unique vibe. It is by far the most diverse and emotional ISON album I have written so far. This is the result of manifestation and channeling and my aim with this album is to try to mend and calm the listener. It should be played in sequence from start to finish and it was made for listening in headphones with your eyes closed”.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53420841271639,"sku":"P-111683-","price":13.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Ison-Aurora-CD-DIGIPAK-111683-1-1625483747.jpg?v=1778089889"},{"product_id":"ison-cosmic-drone-cd-digipak","title":"Ison - Cosmic Drone - CD DIGIPAK","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Reissue of Ison's 2015 EP 'Cosmic Drone'.\u003cbr\u003eFor fans of Crippled Black Phoenix, Alcest, The Evpatoria Report, and PG.Lost.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53422274576727,"sku":"P-119503-","price":13.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Ison-Cosmic-Drone-CD-DIGIPAK-119503-1-1645521749.jpg?v=1778107184"},{"product_id":"ison-stars-embers-cd-digipak","title":"Ison - Stars \u0026 Embers - CD DIGIPAK","description":"\u003cp\u003eStatement from Daniel Änghede.\u003cbr\u003eAfter releasing the Aurora in 2020 there was no doubts ISON would keep going. But I did not know in what form yet. When it was time to start writing the next album I felt a severe writer’s block and it made me doubt my ability to continue with this project. It felt like nothing I wrote sounded good but eventually I would find the spark again and I started to get a vision for what I wanted this album to be. Stars \u0026amp; Embers started to take form! I used lots of analog synths and analog drum machines this time and it made the workflow very different compared to past recordings. There was less room to edit and\u003cbr\u003emove notes around and it forced me to trust what I recorded and it took me back to the feeling I had when I first started to record music in the early 90’s.

However, when she sent me the first draft of the song “Horizons” I knew that she’d be perfect as the new main vocalist. Luckily she accepted. She has a deep understanding of what I am doing musically and we work very well together. Her vocal range and ability to layer her voice like an instrument is out of this world!

It adds a new dimension to the album. This time I asked my friend Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity\/The Halo Effect) to duet with Lisa. I haven’t used a male guest vocalist since Neige of Alcest joined on the album Inner-Space.
