Solitude Aeturnus

Been over a month since the last update. I apologize. Moving, new job, getting sleep cycle adjusted, all that. It didn't help either that I'm set to cover what is essentially the American version of Candlemass before actually covering Candlemass. Whatever.

Solitude Aeturnus formed as the band "Solitude" in 1987, named after the Candlemass song from which the band's musical style largely draws. While other bands were content to follow Candlemass's somber tone and plodding tembo, Solitude Aeturnus aped their whole stole outright, including the soaring, operatic vocals. The striking similarity earned them the nickname "The American Candlemass" soon after achieving notoriety. As if that weren't enough, lead singer Rob Lowe eventually became an actual singer for Candlemass (you see why covering Candlemass first would've been rather helpful here).


Will give an album-by-album breakdown on these guys later, as they've been a stumbling block on this blog for over a month now and I need to move on.
