Downfall Of Gaia Enters The Recording Studio

German extreme metal group Downfall Of Gaia just entered the studio to record a fourth full-length album and follow-up to 2014's "Aeon Unveils The Thrones Of Decay."

Downfall Of Gaia comments: "We are happy to announce that we hit Hidden Planet Studio Berlin to record our new full-length record, set to be released in 2016. This album continues directly where 'Aeon Unveils The Thrones Of Decay' stopped. Stay tuned for more details! Can't wait to share some new piece of music with you guys!"
