Anion's new full length LP, entitled “Without Solace”, is scheduled for release on September 17, 2013. This album, recorded with legendary producer Matt Bayles (Botch, Mastodon, Isis) at Red Room studios in Seattle, WA, “Without Solace” will be released on gatefold vinyl and digitally via Winnipeg's No List Records. The new material sees Anion further elevating their song writing, focusing on the shape, sound and flow of the songs themselves while delving further into their pit of loathing and ugliness, centering on unsettling and angular riffs with a layer of abrasive noise rock heaviness underneath.
Anion was formed in early 2010 in a diesel soaked rehearsal space with one purpose - to create the music that it's members wanted to hear. No scene points, no genre devotion - just a desire to create devastatingly heavy and ultimately ugly music. Riff driven and intense, the music stands apart with an underlying foundation of ugly and intense hardcore, healthy doses of abrasive noise rock and heavy sludge mixed in to create a unique sound that Anion are known for.
Having played with bands such as Indian (Relapse), Helm’s Alee (HydraHead), Thrones (Southern Lord), Black Elk (Crucial Blast), KENmode (Profound Lore), and Ghostlimb (Vitriol), among many other well-known acts, Anion's live shows are intense and abrasive. Not soon forgotten, they have gained notoriety for these live performances in various publications and websites such as Exclaim! and Beatroute.
With the digital Manolete EP, the Carrion King 7" and the handcrafted Corpseflower cassette among their releases, Anion has had extremely favorable reviews in publications/sites such as Terrorizer, Maximum Rock and Roll, Exclaim!, Hellbound and more.
Anion is currently booking tours for 2013 in the US and Canada, as well as possibly Europe, to support the release of “Without Solace”
