"Downspell is your own personal soundtrack to World War III"
-Broken Speaker Magazine-
"THEY HAVE ACHIEVED TO TRANSFER THE ENERGY OF THEIR LIVE SHOW ON TO THEIR ALBUMS, WHICH IS RARE THESE DAYS. "AFTERBIRTH" WILL STAY IN MY CD PLAYER FOR A REALLY LONG TIME".
-Powerplay-
"THE BAND'S BLITZ OF HOSTILITY ISN'T "PUBESCENT BOY ANGST" - NO DOWNSPELL'S MUSIC IS THE LABOR OF GROWN MEN. THEIR INTELLIGENT AND EXPERIENCED VIEWPOINT OF THE THINGS THAT PISS YOU OFF IN LIFE, AND THE MUSIC THEREIN, IS THE CRUX OF DOWNSPELL'S STAYING POWER IN BOTH SAN DIEGO AND THE REST OF THE METAL WORLD. SO IS DOWNSPELL THE FUTURE OF METAL? ANSWER THAT ONE FOR YOURSELF. YOU CAN GUESS WHERE I STAND. DOWNSPELL HAS A STOCKPILE OF MALEVOLENCE, KINETIC DRIVE, AND KEEN MUSICIANSHIP THAT WILL TAKE THEM FAR BEYOND SAN DIEGO'S LITTLE PARADISE AND INTO THE RUGGED ANNALS OF METAL'S MOST ICONIC BANDS.
-Music Matters Magazine-
"This is a band that runs the gamut in the different metal genres it draws its influence from. They sound death at times, yet totally thrashy, with elements of sludge and grind. At the end of it all, I was more than pleased to finally have taken in a show from real metal soldiers charging their way out of the underground heavy music scene to what will hopefully soon lead them all to absolute glory in the music business."

The reality of defense was forthcoming... To not accept that one's existence is in complete jeopardy is UNACCEPTABLE. The percentage of hostile insurgent takeover grows by the second. Extinction is eminent if the enemy isn't engaged and neutralized IMMEDIATELY.
DOWNSPELL was assembled and trained in SITKA, ALASKA in 1999 after the "Cold War of Metal's" slow, but steady take over globally. The Mission Report was sent (via AWACS surveillance) after Allied spies and intelligence agencies received threats from the Southern California Terror Cell. The Commanders took notice and DOWNSPELL was assigned their 1st mission after only two local enemy engagements. This Special Forces unit was sent to infiltrate and regain control of the So Cal Metal scene.
With the majority of hostile enemy fire, hostage situations and guerilla movement just 2 Clicks north of allied territory, Mexico (which insurgents now dubbed "THE CITY OF ANGELS". It was imperative that HQ be set up in a covert, yet dominant location. Operation: DOWNSPELL set up base in SAN DIEGO and setting up it's perimeter around it's initial target: SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Takeover was easy. The 6 man underground commando unit flawlessly pinned, disbanded and secured San Diego and surrounding hostile territories. Victory ALWAYS comes with a cost though... 3 of the original members lost their lives and 1 other was critically wounded due to the realities of war. Lessons were learned and attack plans were immediately modified to guarantee the success of the new war agenda in 2004.
Teaming up with some of the worlds deadliest mercenary commando squads like ENTOMBED, DYING FETUS, EXODUS, CATTLE DECAPITATION, PRONG, PISSING RAZORS, DISGORGE, ASESINO, HEMLOCK, DEEDS OF FLESH, 16, SKINLESS, KING DIAMOND and many other reputable assault units, DOWNSPELL has steadily maintained control of San Diego and the surrounding fortified perimeters. Another key attribution to their survival was superb recon by ROCK 105.3's "ANOTHER STATE OF MIND" and "LOUD & LOCAL" plus other national and college sound wave stations and intelligence distribution agencies.
With 2 major wars successfully won on their own terms (2003's "NO REDEMPTION" and 2006's "AFTERBIRTH"), DOWNSPELL solidified their dominance to the enemy. Praise from civilians and local governments alike was overwhelming. This proved to the masses that military intervention in the southern perimeter was not only necessary, but MANDATORY. Many battles were conquered while touring in support of "NO REDEMPTION" and "AFTERBIRTH" across the U.S., with little to zero resistance. Now plans to infiltrate and destroy their biggest enemy yet this Summer. The Operation Code Name is still TOP SECRET but will be released shortly after strategies and battle plans are finalized. With guest mercenaries also enlisted including Confederate Commando D. RANDAL BLYTHE (1st LAMB OF GOD Infantry) and Demolitions Lt. BOBBY FERRY (Special Forces Unit -16-). These "Soldiers of Fortune" will guarantee victory with the highest amount of enemy casualties.
DOWNSPELL will be touring across The States and allied territories training civilians in hostile metal tactics and pit survival/take over. Look for DOWNSPELL in your home town or adjacent quadrant this Summer/Fall or contact us to schedule a demonstration.

David Lockhart's painfully excessive capturing of the booze-swilling and constantly concupiscent Jim Morrison is an encyclopedic homage to the ethos of rock. Boudeeka's haunting accurate portrayal of Janis Joplin is a tribute to women in rock and the raw emotion that was so much a part of the scene. Carlton Poward is an almost frightening replica with his spot-on Jimi Hendrix characterization and inspired guitar playingšÃ‚ Pat Craig Contra Costa Times
