Saint Helena is a volcanic tropical island in the South Atlantic Ocean, measures about 16 by 8 kilometres and has a population of 4,534. The island, one of the most remote islands in the world, was named after empress Saint Helena of Constantinople. Not quite as remote as the eponymous island is the annual festival with its exquisite selection of Doom, Stoner and Post everything bands. With the announcement of Black Doom/Sludge four-piece Downfall Of Gaia, the lineup of the sixth edition was completed. 13 bands will be summoned at Feierwerk Munich three months from today on June 24, 2017.

Can’t wait to see them again: Thränenkind

Headlining the event will be Bristol-based Crippled Black Phoenix. Spawned in 2004, Founder and multi-instrumentalist Justin Greaves had already made a name for himself as drummer for Iron Monkey and Electric Wizard among others. Signing with Season of Mist in 2016 brought the E.P. “New Dark Age” and the latest album “Bronze” which has been very well received by critics and fans alike. Crippled Black Phoenix create an atmosphere with a certain resemblance of one UK household names (Pink Floyd – for anyone who wouldn’t guess that…). At the other end of the scale Full Of Hell present their harsh grinding death from the east coast. Formed in 2009, this young Ocean City band has released their now acclaimed joint venture with none other than Merzbow himself. 2016 saw the release of their collaboration with the thundering and depressive duo, The Body, entitled “One Day You Will Ache Like I Ache” as well as a Split 7″ with Californian Hardcore monster Nails. 2017 will see the release of third full-length titled “Trumpeting Ecstasy” on May 5 via Profound Lore Records. And this night will also be Pychorizon’s reunion with the band that is single-handedly responsible for one of the best shows of last year AND the best album of 2016, Munich’s very own Thränenkind. The Post Black Metal outfit will be sharing stages with North Dakota-based Ghost Bath once more, to present their scene and genre dividing sound.

With acts like Ultha from Cologne, Heretoir from Augsburg, Phantom Winter & Cranial from Würzburg and Unru from my birthplace Bielefeld, the organisers of Saint Helena Festival place great emphasis on hosting bands from the German Black and Doom Metal scene. For complete lineup check flyer below.

German extreme metallers Downfall of Gaia have just announced a round of live dates for the summer! They will be joined by Australian Hope Drone! This tour marks the first tour for new guitar player Marco Mazzola.
It is always tough to replace a member of a band, particularly someone who has been with us for so many years, but Marco convinced us in every way! No big words needed for this – We are looking forward to the next chapter of Downfall of Gaia and leave the last words to Marco!

Marco: “We met in Italy, back in 2012, while I was touring with my band Caino and we opened a couple of gigs for Downfall Of Gaia. Me and Dominik stayed in contact during the following years and I immediately wrote him once I saw the announcement that the band was looking for a new guitarist. I always held Downfall Of Gaia in high regard, and I’m now honored to take part of it. I’ll do my best to keep alive what they previously built with Peter.”

Comments Downfall of Gaia: “We are very happy to announce our upcoming European tour with Hope Drone from Australia! Got to know these amazing guys in late 2015 while touring together through Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. They showed us a great time and took care of us in the best possible way and now it is about time to give something back. Looking forward to the ride!“

Downfall Of GaiaDOWNFALL OF GAIA have released their second album for Metal Blade “Aeons Unveils The Thrones Of Decay” in November of 2014. “Aeon Unveils The Thrones Of Decay” is a story about time and its relentless sides. A journey to the dark sides each individual has to fight on a day to day basis. Time in its majesty is an unbeatable enemy and all of us human beings have to deal with loss, unexpected changes and dealing with unwanted circumstances. As a slave to time, mankind is marching to the beat of a ticking clock. Musically the album gives you less time to breath and a more aggressive songwriting than on their previous releases, as aggressive and relentless as time itself!

“Men talk of killing time, while time quietly kills them.” – Dion Boucicault
