The apocalyptic mood expresses itself in the musical action of the band. The listener is attacked by a death metal- and grindcore-bastard, enriched with some classic thrash metal influences. The four-men-combo from Cologne/Germoney is explicitly influenced by bands like Terrorizer (well, what would you expect if you read the name "World Downfall"?), Brutal Truth and Slayer. The lyrics deal with real and up-to-date-problems like the injustice of man towards his own species and his environment. The band dissociates itself explicitly from the currently growing nazi-asshole-movement which regrettably infected even the so called "scene".
So what else can be said?
After the release of two Promo-CDs "WORLD DOWNFALL" planned to release their full-length debut. Because of some bad experiences with relying on other people, they decided to release it themselves and entered the studio in August 2003 to record their first DIY-album "Last Step Before The Fall" to give you an audition of what they are about.
Since starting up the band the guys had the chance to play several gigs in Germoney, Belgium, Czech Republic (OBSCENE EXTREME FESTIVAL 2006), France (SOUL GRINDING FESTIVAL VI), Holland and Switzerland with bands like AGATHOCLES (B), ARCH ENEMY (SWE), BELPHEGOR (A), BLOOD DUSTER (AUS), CEPHALIC CARNAGE (USA), CRIPPLE BASTARDS (I), DARKANE (SWE), DESASTER (GER), DEW-SCENTED (GER), DYING FETUS (USA), GADGET (SWE), GORY BLISTER (I), GUT (GER), JAPANISCHE KAMPFHÖRSPIELE (GER), KRISIUN (BRA), LENG TCH´E (BEL), MACABRE (USA), MASTER (USA/CZ), MDC (USA), MISERY SPEAKS (GER), MÖRSER (GER), NASUM (SWE), OCCULT (NL), THE OCEAN (GER), RATOS DE PORAO (BRA), SADUS (USA), SEEIN RED (NL), SINISTER (NL), TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION (USA), TRIVIUM (USA), YACÖPSAE (GER) and many more. In 2005 they had the great opportunity to play four shows supporting Swedish Metal Masters ARCH ENEMY and new hopefulls TRIVIUM (USA), which was a great experience.
On November 25th 2006 World Downfall release their second full length album "BEYOND SALVATION" ("DEMO OF THE MONTH", German METAL HAMMER, March 2007). A 14 song deathgrind bastard featuring Angela Gossow of Arch Enemy on guest vokills on "Your Shadow Moves Faster Than Mine".
