Downfall Of Gaia - Announce New Album, Share First Single
February 8th, 2019 sees Downfall Of Gaia release their anticipated new album, Ethic Of Radical Finitude. Tracking for the album was handled at Hidden Planet Studio in Berlin by Jan Oberg, and Backroom Studios in New Jersey by Kevin Antreassian of The Dillinger Escape Plan. The band also very pleased to share first single, "As Our Bones Break To The Dance", available for streaming through the SoundCloud down under.
"It combines elements from our earlier releases with the path we took on Atrophy (2016)," states guitarist/vocalist Dominik Goncalves dos Reis. "There are long atmospheric parts with enough time to breathe, enough time to unfold, and on the other side there are harsh and melodic blastbeats. Each song is some kind of journey, with emotional ups and downs."
A handful of guests also contributed their time, including some faces familiar to longtime followers of the band - rejoined by guitarist Peter Wolff, one of the founding members of Downfall Of Gaia, on "Seduced By?" and the drones on the songs "The Grotesque Illusion Of Being" and "We Pursue The Serpent Of Time" come courtesy of their former drummer Johannes Stoltenburg. Furthermore, the band also collaborated with Nikita Kamprad from Der Weg Einer Freiheit, who added vocals to "We Pursue The Serpent Of Time", and spoken words for the song "Guided Through A Starless Night" were supplied by their friend Mers Sumida of Black Table.
"Working together and creating something new with former bandmates is a very special thing. Even if our ways had to split at some point, it's a true pleasure to get together again, with everyone bringing in their own new influences," Goncalves dos Reis comments.
