DOWNSPIRIT was originally formed in 2009 by swiss SYMPHORCE/Ex-FREEDOM CALL guitarist Cédric "Cede" Dupont in order to fulfill his longtime dream to form a band dedicated to the combination of blues and metal music.
The band also consists of vocal-talent Steffen Lauth, Axel “Aki” Reissmann (rhythm.guit./”Pump”), as well as Sven Rakowitz on bass and Sebastian Dunkel on drums, who complete the line-up with a blasting feel of rhythm and groove.
DOWNSPIRIT’s main goal is to play live as much as possible - from the smallest club in your neighborhood to the biggest stadiums in the world. Whatever might cross their paths in the long-term future - this band is about to crank your stereos, rock your house and turn it all into one big rock party!
Located in Stuttgart/Germany, DOWNSPIRIT are currently working on their upcoming debut album, which is expected to be released in early 2010. Blending old blues roots with a modern, downtuned guitar-feel, their songs are a mixture of typical bluesy 80's hard rock and a contemporary metal sound, which also includes some electro-loops here and there.
The melancholic feeling of blues music combined with the power of Heavy Metal riffs and strong melodies, a band including well known and talented musicians who came together to deliver quality sounding music with power and passion: THAT’S DOWNSPIRIT !
