CRONIAN(ex- ION) press-release

[Gaunerin]

ION changing name

Based on evaluation of the musical direction of ION, we have decided to change the name of our duo to CRONIAN. We simply feel that this name, to a larger extent, reflects the general artistic approach of the band. Beside, the fact that there is another band rising with the name ION made our choice rather simple and inevitable. Therefore, we will from this day on officially use CRONIAN as the spearhead of our musical brotherhood.


The Cronian brotherhood

Øystein G. Brun- guitars and programming
Vintersorg- vocals and programming


Upcoming album

The recording of our debut album is in process and we intend to finish the album by the end of the year. What remains to be done is to settle the vocals, add some guitar melodies and obviously to do the mixing. The album will contain 9 songs of atmospheric, eerie and catchy music. Beware!


Label

We are now in the final round of settling a deal with CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS. An official announcement will be issued soon…


CRONIAN interactive

In regards to a future release we are interested to get in contact with up and coming graphic/visual artists. In the first place we are looking for a CRONIAN- logo. For those interested, feel free to send us an idea, a draft or whatever. We cannot promise anything to anyone, but everybody will get a response. Feel free to contact us: cronian@gmail.com

Further updates will follow soon!

On the behalf of the CRONIAN expedition,

We are proud to announce that CRONIAN have officially signed a worldwide record deal with Century Media Records. After several rounds of discussions we inked a 3 record deal which both parties feel comfortable with.

CRONIAN is a duo consisting of Vintersorg and Øystein G. Brun. Already back in 1999 we had plans to do a project together, something beside respective bands like Vintersorg and Borknagar. The idea floated around for a few years in our minds, but in 2002 we started the actual process of constructing a musical expression, then under the name Ion. We had a mutual agreement to only proceed with the band if we managed to establish a unique and original sound. That’s what we have done and that’s what we prepare to show the world....

The debut album will be released early next year, a more specific date will be announced soon. The title of the album will be “Terra” and the album will contain 9 songs. Some song titles are: “Cronian”, “The Alp”, “Iceolated” and “Nonexistence”. The nature of the music is cold, atmospheric (eerie!) and catchy. So beware!

At www.cronian.com you will find all the latest news and updates available. The site is temporary but will be upgraded with new design, photos, bio etc. in near future. Keep posted....

Sincerely, THE CRONIANS (Vintersorg and Øystein G. Brun)
