Downfall of Gaia's Existence Of Awe 2023-02-22 by Fernando Alves | 9 Comments | German collective Downfall of Gaia unveiled the second single, 'Existence Of Awe', off the band's upcoming new album, Silhouettes of Disgust, out March 17th via Metal Blade. You can stream it below.
Vocalist/guitarist Dominik Goncalves dos Reis comments: " 'Existence Of Awe' is a song about those inner demons and ghostly companions that many in this day and age are at the mercy of and have to fight against in whatever form. A condition that one often carries around unnoticed on the outside, which is not immediately visible to many, and that one must somehow learn to live with…"
"The album title is derived from the narratives driving the songs, focusing on the stories of eight different people, as residents of a fictional metropolis, each with their own worries and struggles. Loneliness, addiction, the fear of tomorrow, pressure from society/work and others, things that many of us probably know all too well," explains Goncalves dos Reis. "You have to play along somehow or you fall through the cracks, and once you're down, it's hard to get back up. It looks at selfishness and ignorance, the general way of dealing with each other - you're one, surrounded by millions, surrounded by all these silhouettes of disgust, surrounded by the things you want to avoid and hate. The last few years have impressively proven what you can expect from humanity - and honestly, it's not much."

3. While Bloodsprings Become Rivers

“The last few years have impressively proven what you can expect from humanity - and honestly, it's not much”
Not really keen on that mindset, though. Many examples of incredible selflessness and humanity during Covid. Food bank down the road from me that does incredible work, but it only exists because the system of profits over people has predictably failed.

| | | dug more than the last track but also appreciate the contrast between the 2
| | | punks real hrd
| | | Love this band a lot. Cannot wait for this.
