Downfall Of Gaia - Epos
Review by Maxon Foster-McAlpine
Epos, the second album by Downfall of Gaia, is a stunning piece of work that showcases the band's unique blend of black metal, sludge, and post-rock. The album is a concept album that tells the story of a man who is on a quest for knowledge and enlightenment, but ultimately succumbs to the darkness within himself.
The album is divided into four parts, each of which is marked by an instrumental track that serves as a bridge between the sections. The music is dense and heavy, but also atmospheric and introspective, with the band using a variety of textures and dynamics to create a sense of tension and release.
The vocals, which are mostly screamed and growled, are powerful and emotive, and the lyrics, which are in English and German, are poetic and evocative. The band's musicianship is also impressive, with each member contributing to the overall sound and feel of the album.
