Artist: DOWNFALL OF GAIA
Album: "SUFFOCATING IN THE SWARM OF CRANES LTD. EDIT. (DIGI)"

Year: 2012
Media type: CD

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. German Downfall Of Gaia have developed their current sound over the course of several years. In their early days, they could easily have been described as a crust band. During this "crustier" period, they released a split in 2008 with French band Kazan. A year later, they released a tour EP, and in 2010 Downfall Of Gaia finally released their debut album "Epos" with the help of a few DIY-labels.

They have not only performed on countless stages in the German speaking countries, but also in Italy, the UK, France, the Netherlands as well as Eastern Europe. They have even made a trip across the Atlantic to the United States for a small, but intense tour. Downfall Of Gaia's live intensity is unwavering, whether they are performing to ten guests in a club or in front of thousands of people at a festival.

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.

Downfall Of Gaia's latest efforts have garnered positive reviews from press worldwide.
 
Downfall Of Gaia has just finished recording their newest collection of songs. The concept album, Suffocating In The Swarm Of Cranes, will be released in the second half of 2012. Their continued growth has raised the bar and expectations are very high for what is sure to be a massive, encumbering album for fans of all things progressive and heavy.
