Description

Dark, ominous, yet not completely hopeless, Downfall Of Gaia’s music is as uplifting as it is overwhelming. The aural peaks and valleys fill the often lengthy tracks with a rewarding listening experience.
Downfall Of Gaia have developed their current sound over the course of several years. In their early days of existence, they could easily have been described as a crust band.
Downfall of Gaia’s DIY attitude lead to their next release in 2011: a split-LP with Sweden’s In the Hearts Of Emperors. The release displayed a massive step forward, both musically and lyrically.
Though their origin was very crust-infused, the band has taken a much different approach to more recent material. Fast d-beat influenced songs have given way to longer, slower tunes. Recent material can be described as enormous creations that encroach upon the listener like a towering monolith. Their new sound draws elements from doom, black metal, down tempo, sludge, and even hardcore. The end result is an aesthetic not lacking in majesty or depth.
This CD compiles songs from the Epos album and split with In The Hearts Of Emperors.
