Solitude Aeturnus: Seeds of the Desolate

Solitude Aeturnus
live @ On The Rocks
Dallas,Texas 1993

[@dbbubba1]

When we did the record Rob was 100% ready to do the vocals the day that we started. I set him up at the mic, opened a track and recorded him. What you hear here and what you hear on the record is what he sang every take. He sang every song straight through and although I did several takes each take was pretty much the same each time. Rob knew what he wanted and although I was the record's "producer" there was nothing that I could add to what he envisioned and performed. That rarely happens!

[@alexbuka3046]

Robert's live performance has no difference with recordings and even more amazing. I've seen live Therion, Draconian, Esoteric, Lacrimosa, I hope to see Solitude Aeternus one day. I suppose it to be a little challenging to come to Europe but who knows. I would love to learn more about band haven't found much. Where can find news from band?

[@adrianbanica7041]

F...k yes!!!!!!!!!!

[@largeusmeatus]

Thank you for sharing

[@7.Stunde-Weisheitskunde]

thanks man for all you did for metal

[@metal_helm]

thank you for this. This is my fav album by them. The 1st 2 are untouchble. Such a sadness to them, that they lost on other albums. Cannot thank you enough for this gemstone

[@Константин7]

Damn, his voice was really good back in the 90's. This live performance sounds even better than the studio version.

[@frankcastle13]

My only regret in life is that I didn't discover this absolutely awesome band sooner.

[@padreeldaddio4608]

So here we are 30 years on since then and we the fans are still bangin' to these fantastic tunes.

[@duriedbawadkji5395]

The best band ever big love from Syria

[@MCCrleone354]

Solitude Aeturnus has some fans from Syria? Sweet!

[@dagWOOD1968]

Solitude and Rob Lowe especially ARE THE MOST UNDERRATED BAND AND SINGER IN MUSIC PERIOD, FOR YEARS!!! Keep on Rocking Boys, we still love it after all these years. Peace out John P. and Rob, Edgar, Covington, Lyle, and all previous and current members!!!

[@7.Stunde-Weisheitskunde]

thats what metal is supposed to sound like really, fck metallica

[@AkisDoom]

He Is The BEST METAL VOCALIST EVER!! He Is THE GOD!! ALL HAIL ROBERT LOWE!!

[@tavros1976]

Rob Lowe is a metal god

[@seventhstar]

This is the real deal here! The original line up! Love it!

[@Wishpool]

They actually had several different band members before this classic and best-known lineup was formed.

[@promitheasklaras8498]

What a perfomance! By far the best band in doom metal!

[@commanderwilliamtriker7449]

My cousin is Edgar the guitar player on the left side of the stage he told me so many stories about the road and about recording those great albums how about the tours with candlemas and King Diamond this band is awesome only second to candlemas but I think that into the depths of Sorrow and Beyond the Crimson Horizon are my favorite too also Adagio is really great great I think this genre of Doom metal should be more acclaimed but I guess it was not meant to be mainstream

[@MW-bw8gp]

With Lyle Steadham and with Edgar the Best Lineup Solitude Aeturnus

[@tavros1976]

The first two albums of Solitude Aeturnus are the essence of doom metal and better than the whole discography of Candlemass

[@jacobfiggins3070]

Solitude Aeturus live AND 50 cent beers? That place knew how to treat fans

[@joiem1634]

So heavy then you have that incredible vox. Perfection

[@ponchocaldwell5176]

They really jam out! This is better than the Candlemass work. They need a new album.

[@MCCrleone354]

Agreed! I would like Solitude Aeternus to crank out ONE more record.

[@largeusmeatus]

@@MCCrleone354 Wheel managed to do it, hopefully we see something before the world ends

[@MCCrleone354]

@@largeusmeatus Who’s Wheel? Edit: I looked Wheel up on encyclopedia metallum are you talking about the German Doom Metal band?

[@ARG0T]

Solitude Aeturnus >>>> Candlemass in general

[@maidendoomy704]

AAAMAZIIIING!!! I love Rob's voice and the Solitude sound makes me crazy!!!

[@scottdenja6896]

I listen to slayer trouble pentagram. Meshuggah but this fuking band. Rocks like no one i have ever heard before. The voice of evil. Cathedral. Paul chain death ss. St vitus. Look out. A truly. E Vil. Voice come for you solitude aeturnus. Last chapter. Candlemass.

[@d.Rahmanov]

No one had voice such as Rob , Solitude Aeturnus 🥇

[@nekroegg]

shivers on my spine everytime i see this video, greetings from Mexico.

[@ClarenceDoskocil]

I remember going to Sound Warehouse (I think?) in Arlington Texas to buy 'Countdown to Extinction' by Megadeth. THIS (Beyond the Crimson Horizon) was blasting. I asked the guy near the DJ booth (CD player?) who this was. He told me it was his band. I went home that day with both CDs. This music gave me that same jolt of electricity the first four Queensryche releases gave me!! First I played Megadeth, then I played the Solitude Aeturnus record about 100 times before I ever got back to the Megadeth record (mediocre). Been a fan of S.A. since. Seen them at least five times.

[@trapazoidalwindow]

Damn, that was fucking great song and performance. Lowe's (vocals) eyes say it all. Compelling work!

[@mistresssylviasdungeonofdo8797]

Edgar Rivera is a God!

[@dagWOOD1968]

Darrin D. here from Last Chapter fame(or not, more like it), but no matter, I was priviledged enough to be at this show many ,many moons ago and got to record with Robert Lowe on a few occasions... and man he sent chills up mine spine several times at both live shows and in the studio.The first show I saw Solitude at was Joe's Garage in Ft Worth opening up for none other than Candlemass, just fucking beautiful, what a night. I went from being a Heavy Metal fan to being a Doomster through and through from then on.

[@louman2342]

Absolutely insane what a voice I remember seeing this show in Chicago in the early 90s

[@Beastmetalreview]

Wow! What a performance. Robert’s vox are nuts!!!

[@beernmetal6964]

still third best concert I've ever seen. Iron Maiden and Queensryche are the first two. I'll remember Solitude Aeturnus until the day I die.

[@vcafiero]

What a song. What a band!

[@shawnsunil589]

This is what peak performance looks like.

[@adrianbanica7041]

Wish they would make a return!Lowe get back to band! What can i tell to my 3 years girl?She wants Solitude Aeturnus over and over.... I grow up with your music,in my walkman!

[@Cowboyfromhell1234]

What a voice 🔥🤘

[@MCCrleone354]

This performance is dated the year I was born!

[@megorra]

Still one of the best SA songs and a great, rare video. SA remain one of the best doom bands in metal history and there isn't a single bad song to be heard from them. Such a shame there will be no more. Rob was one of the best vocalists in metal and this track is a showcase to that. The band played some of the heaviest doom I've ever heard and I never tire of listening to them . . . very loud, of course.

[@jwlang70]

John is great. songs are are great

[@evertonluizdossantosbasili1231]

Can barley remember jamming with John Covington:":":"WOLF"""" at Cedar Valley college. I actuality like have recordings our jams in the college studio. Talk To me John Covington. We need to jam again. That was 1988. This is 2020. Are you still out there?

[@davis.peste.drummer]

Undoubtedly one of the biggest Doom Metal bands!!

[@mgdarenz]

So overlooked, that it is a crime.

[@PanteraFan2012]

Man. How do you have all this classic Dallas metal? O.T.R. was my hangout! Fuckin' awesome.

[@alexperry4691]

Robert Lowe was fuckin awesome in the 90s,i always thought he didn't live up to his full potential in candlemass, don't get me wrong the albums he did were good but when you saw him live with them he seemed a little half hearted, especially when you see him deliver outstanding performances like this where his voice is godlike and with incredible stage presence! Maybe he just hasn't aged well I dunno 🤔

[@bassist666]

αδερφέ μου λατρεύω τους Solitude Aeturnus, τους Candlemass και γενικά το doom metal.... Μιλάμε για επικά και πολύ Underground πράγματα ;)

We don't know what or who is playing. Only hungry for Life Metal Entertainment. We that Band this Lineup. Kicking. Incredible

[@lifelessclayman6823]

Did he sell his soul for his voice?

Yes, but then he traded it back
