Solitude Aeturnus - Two Albums To Be Re-Released


Metal Mind Productions Press Release:

"Solitude Aeturnus - one of the most respected names in the doom metal field with a style that borrows from classic doom as well as progressive metal. Formed in the spring of 1987, Solitude Aeturnus are still pummeling souls into doom metal submission! Robert Lowe's haunting vocals, unbelievably heavy and slow riffs, strange melodies and sublime compositions - all this complemented by the band's desperate, insane, theatrical yet profoundly personal appeal.

This legendary doom metal band from US returns today with two albums re-released by Metal Mind Productions - "Through The Darkest Hour" and "Downfall".
"Through The Darkest Hour" - Solitude Aeternus' third full-length release from 1994. Recorded in March in England at Rhythm Studios, the album showed a simpler and heavier direction, proving to be the band's best achievement yet, mainly because of an excellent production and top notch composing. New digipak edition includes 2 bonus tracks recorded during band's show in Warsaw in February 2007.
"Downfall" - re-release of the fourth album on which Solitude Aeturnus is celebrating again their very own brand of epic, powerful and variable doom metal. With this album the band prove that they have an exceptional place in the doom metal! They have managed to stay true to their roots, but still go through an evolution. New digipak edition includes 1 bonus tracks recorded during band's show in Warsaw in February 2007.

The material taken from the Crash Music archives will be released in a new digipak edition, limited to numerated 2000 copies. Digitally remastered using 24-Bit process on golden disc. Both titles will be available on 3rd March 2008 in Europe."

    okay the re-releases are interesting since both albums are hard to get hold of, but the bonus tracks are just redundant for those are the same recordings which can be seen on the dvd Solitude Aeturnus released this year, and those tracks are also featured on the bonus audio disc which accompanies that dvd.
