Downfall Of Gaia Confirm US Tour August-September

DOWNFALL OF GAIA will be returning to the states, with dates beginning on August 16th. The confirmed dates can be found below, as well as at facebook.com/downfallofgaia. More dates are still TBA, and will be made available on-line as soon as they are confirmed. Additionally, DOWNFALL OF GAIA has posted a video that includes footage from their recent European tour. The black and white, skillfully shot video can be seen on youtube HERE.

DOWNFALL OF GAIA's critically-acclaimed album, Suffocating in the Swarm of Cranes, was released in October of 2012. The music video for In the Rivers Bleak can be streamed at metalblade.com/downfallofgaia. The video was filmed by John Bradburn and Andy Paton and, according to DOWNFALL OF GAIA, was filmed "on a rainy English night and delivers in a perfect way the mood we tried to capture on this record. It's completely filmed in black and white and it's a view right inside the story of our new record."

Additionally, a limited number of Europe-imported gatefold double LPs are still available. Check them out at indiemerch.com/metalbladerecords.

"Downfall of Gaia make a huge statement with what could be one of the finest post metal records in recent memory." SputnikMusic.com – 4.5/5

"Pitted somewhere between modern psychedelic black metal and barbed doom of Neurosis, there's a cold smother to Downfall of Gaia's sound that envelopes you like an iron winter fog. With a pallet so rich in shades of grey, Downfall of Gaia have crafted 'Suffocating in The Swarm of Cranes' to be as evocative as it is desolate." Terrorizer Magazine

"There isn't a dull moment of this release, even the moody parts are fraught with tension as you wait for some sort of impending release whether it's a hardcore crust beatdown or breathtaking black hued blasting peak, fraught with emotion." TeethOfTheDivine.com

Metal Blade Records Signs Germany's Downfall Of Gaia!

It's with great pleasure that Metal Blade announces the signing of Germany's DOWNFALL OF GAIA! DOWNFALL OF GAIA eschews clichés and delivers a monolithic, yet melodic, wall of sound. The band formed in 2008 in Hannover, Germany and has released a demo cd, a split tape, a split LP, and a full length album. Their split with In The Hearts of Emperors can be found on bandcamp HERE.

DOWNFALL OF GAIA started out as a crust band, but quickly developed further and have become much more difficult to compare to any other bands. Over the years, their songs became longer, slower, heavier; their influences range from doom to black metal, from down-tempo, to sludge, and hardcore. Their songs have and epic and majestic vibe, with enough musical peaks and valleys to keep listeners rooted firmly to the earth throughout 9:00+ minutes of music.

Since day one, the four-piece has been an active live band, not only performing Germany, but also throughout the world: Italy, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and the United States have been witness to their live performances. No matter if they are playing a tiny club or a big festival, DOWNFALL OF GAIA are well known for their intense live shows.

"Hailing from Germany, these folks really know how to push the limits of a song and drive it in all emotions and musical dynamics"! cvltnation.com

"Downfall of Gaia traverse more harrowing emotion than many bands do in their entire discographies. Both intensely atmospheric and relentlessly hard-hitting, the band takes hardcore fundamentals and pushes them to emotional extremes, flickering between fragility and ferocity". Sputnikmusic.com

DOWNFALL OF GAIA comments on their deal with Metal Blade Records: "We feel quite honored to be a part of the Metal Blade family and to work with one of the most notable labels in the world! We are really excited about our Metal Blade debut and the future! A big thank you to all the people who supported us in any way during the last years, without you all of this wouldn't be possible!"

DOWNFALL OF GAIA just finished the recording their next batch of music. The concept album, Suffocating In The Swarm Of Cranes, will be released later on in 2012. Stay tuned for more information, this is a release you do not want to miss!

DOWNFALL OF GAIA:
Dominik Goncalves dos Reis – vocals/guitars
