Solitude Aeturnus is an American epic doom metal band from Arlington, Texas. Founded by John Perez in early 1987, the original lineup consisted of Perez on guitar, vocalist Kristoff (Christopher) Gabehart, guitarist Tom Martinez, drummer Brad Kane, and Chris Hardin on bass. The name Solitude was chosen to pay homage to the bands Black Sabbath and Candlemass. Their vocalist, Robert Lowe, was also the singer for Candlemass between 2007 and 2012. In 1990 the band entered the Dallas Sound Lab to record Into The Depths Of Sorrow. The whole album was recorded for a sum of $3000 and done in seven days including the remix.
