by Downfall of Gaia have confirmed U.S. tour dates, beginning on August 16th. The dates can be found below, and more are yet to come. Additionally, Downfall of Gaia posted a video that includes footage from their recent European tour. It’s an interesting way to recognize those who welcomed them and can be seen above.
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,” as we reported, is extremely depressing, but captivating and mesmerizing. 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.”
Downfall of Gaia has been called “post-metal,” but I’d like to add that they also incorporate indie elements, such as those that can be heard in Sonic Youth. You should check them out if you’re looking for something a little different, but still heavy.
