s many of you know, we were privileged enough to sponsor the latest tour from seminal black/doom/sludge metal act Downfall of Gaia. Though they may not have been able to grasp the throat of the States, their reach has proliferated their name to a point where they will surely return, hopefully with Heavy Blog at their backs again. Photographers Maclyn Bean and Kyle Gaddo managed to make it out to both the Philadelphia and Chicago dates to get some shots of this superb act.
