X-ÆON, released in October 2025 through Heavy Psych Sounds Records, is the latest album by Italian psych-rock band GIÖBIA. The record dives deep into cosmic and introspective themes, blending heavy space rock, fuzzy guitars, and hypnotic synths. Across its eight tracks — including “Voodoo Experience”, “Fractal Haze”, and the multi-part suite “La Mort de la Terre” — the band creates an atmosphere that feels both futuristic and apocalyptic. GIÖBIA describe X-ÆON as a reflection of everything they’ve experienced as musicians, a sonic journey through the boundaries of consciousness and time.
Musically, the album expands the band’s signature sound into darker and more cinematic territory. The songs flow together with a sense of narrative, balancing sludgy intensity and ethereal melody. Reviewers have praised its production and emotional depth, noting how it feels like a voyage through collapsing worlds and rebirths of sound. The 18-minute “La Mort de la Terre” stands as the centerpiece — a vast instrumental voyage that encapsulates X-ÆON’s cosmic vision and solidifies GIÖBIA’s reputation as one of the most daring acts in modern psychedelic rock.
