Solitude Aeturnus - Through The Darkest Hour

[edgeofthorns]

This has quickly become one fo my favorite albums, by one of my favorite bands. I thought I'd make a thread, because this album is appropriate listening for this time of year. Give it shot, spin it on one of these cool, rainy, fall days.



Here's a little Dio being covered by Solitude Aeturnus.



Robert Lowe is one of the best vocalist in metal period!

[Sir Exar Kun]

Classic! The songs "8th Day" and "9th Day" are fantastic.....

 

[Jasonic]

Nice, make sure you pick up BEYOND THE CRIMSON HORIZON, and even their last one ALONE. Also, I think Lowe is simply brilliant on Candlemass' KING OF THE GREY ISLANDS and DEATH MAGIC DOOM. Much appreciated!

 

[Rycher]

Robert Lowe is also becoming one of my favorite vocalists as well. The guy is awesome.

Almost bought Through the Darkest Hour, but decided on some Tristania instead.

 

[VenomGA]

Such a GREAT band!!!!! Robert Lowe has done a FANTASTIC job with Candlemass as well. My 2nd favorite album this year beyond the brilliant return my the Canucks Sacrifice!

 

[TychoCelchu]

This is probably their best album. But I think that I think that about whatever album of theirs I happen to be listening to at a given time, haha. But that's just because they rule. Even their unheralded albums, like Downfall, I revisited it a few weeks ago and found it to be awesome all over again.

The only two originals that I lack are Beyond The Crimson Horizon and Adagio.

[Matt Crooks]

Beyond the Crimson Horizon, IMO, is their best disc, and probably the best doom metal album ever.

 

[booB]

And I say Adagio is their best disc. So it's official, you HAVE to buy those two.

 

[SharkBlack]

Great Band! Great album... They have a lot of good ones... I love Downfall! The band hates the recording but I think it sounds awesome! If there's a better doom song than Phantoms I am not aware of it...

 

[Jasonic]

I am just happy that many of you are dooming up your music collections!!!!

 

[RagePSV]

Ahhhhh Doom... It is a great time of year for it. just listened to all my Solitude discs a few weeks ago. Through the Darkest is my favorite.

 

[BenMech]

You can't go wrong without ALL the Sol Æt albums, asnd I mean get 'em all.

Hurry. Now. Go!

 

[Pelata]

Fantastic record!!!

I was in college in Dallas back in the late '80s early '90s and saw Solitude Aeturnus perform at a place called "The Basement" where many metal bands would play. They were always awesome and usually covered a good bit of Iron Maiden back in the day. Great memories, Great band!

 

[Wyvern]

Solitude Aeturnus fucking rules! And their third album is a great doom classic indeed. Never a weak album so far.
