With Silhouettes Of Disgust, Downfall Of Gaia progresses in part by looking backwards and returning to familiar territory. The result is best described as a textured, dynamic blend of crust punk and post-black metal with a lot of atmospheric elements, taking everything that ever made the band compelling and pushing it in new and gripping directions.

In advance of the record's release, today the band presents a drum-playthrough for "Bodies As Driftwood", the most recent single from Silhouettes Of Disgust.

Offers drummer Michael Kadnar, "I had a blast recording and doing a video for 'Bodies As Driftwood.' It's definitely one of my favorite songs from the album and the drum parts are a little different than some of my previous work. It was a lot of fun writing something unique for this and I am really looking forward to finally playing it live in April."

Silhouettes Of Disgust will be released on CD, LP, and digitally. Find pre-orders here.
