about

Destroyer is the 3rd solo work from DOWNFALL OF GAIAS Peter Wolff.
This time he joins forces with dutch traditional folk singer Jens Boogaard of Knifefight and film maker Kai Lietzke who already worked with Peter on the last Album movie “Breath”

“What started as a purely instrumental project, evolved into a personal narrative after adding vocals to it”so Peter about the album.

„Destroyer“ is a record that combines the dark ambient soundscapes of Peter Wolff with the deep warm voice of Jens Borgaard and the incredivble film work of Kai Lietzke who again made a full art movie for the album cutted in videos for each song.

Pairing the traditional folk background of Jens Borgaard (Knifefight!, Jens Borgaard) with Peter Wolff‘s affinity for dark electronic music (Peter Wolff) as well as post-metal/crust-core (Downfall of Gaia), results in a mesmerizing, intimidating landscape of sound.

Jens Bogaard about the idea of the album:
“After witnessing a fatal car crash, this record attempts to portray the merciless void experienced by the person that caused the deadly accident and is taken into custody.
He is cuffed, put in the back of a police car, and nervously tries to reflect on the mere minutes gone by.
This very moment is what „Destroyer“ is about.
The confrontation, the urge to forget, to flee to anywhere but here, and to put blame on anyone but himself.
And finally realizes that the death he caused will destroy all that was before.

The record is brought to completion by Kai Lietzkes’ haunting visuals that make „Destroyer“ an audio-visual experience.

Kai Lietzke about his work:
“The film embodies the destructive story of the album without human reference points and only through images with pure association of natural forces. These are primarily created in an artificial way and play with the limit of one's perception through the merging of organic and virtual aesthetics.

Rocks symbolize the inescapable fate of the protagonist and his environment, the phenomenon of the mirage and amorphous structures as a metaphor for the slipping away of one's own reality, the sea as a symbol of death, and heaven and hell as an exaggerated representation of inner turmoil. A journey through the abyss mirrored by synthetic worlds.
