SOLITUDE AETURNUS · Downfall | RED LP

Red vinyl.

Coloured vinyl reissue of 'Downfall', the classic fourth album from legendary US doom metal gods Solitude Aeturnus.

Solitude Aeturnus was founded in 1987 in Dallas, Texas, by guitarist John Perez. Being influenced by power metal bands (Metallica, Jag Panzer, Metal Church, Fates Warning), as well as the early crop of doom metal bands (Candlemass, St. Vitus, Trouble, Pentagram), Solitude Aeturnus allowed further inspirations from genres such as psychedelic and 70’s hard rock. All this melted into a style that would soon make the band a metal phenomenon.

Their history has been pretty much infallible, and 'Downfall' is no exception, consisting of a wide range of some of their fastest material, and some of their most emotional. 'Downfall' is one of the bands most riff centric albums.

With the approach focussing on their more melodic, catchy side 'Downfall' is still a Solitude Aeturnus album, and everything that makes this band is still here in droves, just presented slightly differently. Lowes vocal approach is as godly as ever, just with less huge wailing and more aggression.

For fans of: Candlemass, Sanctuary, Crimson Glory, Black Sabbath, Witchcraft
