Holy hell. I didn't think they could get better.

Covering well-trodden paths. But these paths are beautiful.

3.0 goodzaruyache | March 31st 17

It's nice that Downfall of Gaia have transitioned into black metal, but their take on the genre isn't spectacular. Actually, their take on the genre instrumentally is fairly solid, but the way the album sounds just doesn't cut the mustard; while competently organized, the bass drum sounds clumsy thunking around in the background, and the guitars have this sort of sterile-yet-raw sound to them that makes them feel rather neutered. These riffs should be hard-hitting, but they're not. If the production would've been a bit clearer, "Aeons" definitely could have been a noteworthy black metal record. As-is, though, it's just kind of decent.

Aeon Unveils the Thrones of Decay is a ridiculous name; however, it is also a very cool, darkly ambient black metal album.

4.5 superbIgnimbrite | November 11th 14

I'm definitely fanboying a bit here, but this is just as awesome as their debut, if a lot less crusty and a lot more blackened.
