In 15 years, Germany's Downfall Of Gaia have carved out a unique place in the metal scene, evolving naturally and unafraid to take risks. With their sixth album "Silhouettes Of Disgust," they move forward partly by looking back and returning to familiar territory. "With this album, we wanted to go back to our roots and beginnings, but without taking a step backwards," explains singer/guitarist Dominik Goncalves dos Reis. "We wanted to incorporate both worlds into our new album: where we come from—the DIY/crust punk scene—and the direction things have taken in recent years, developing organically from one release to the next." The result is described as a textured and dynamic blend of crust punk and post-black metal with plenty of atmospheric elements, taking everything that has always made the band compelling and pushing it in new and captivating directions.
