Downcast

There was a moment in the evolution of California punk and hardcore when the music took a hard turn toward politics and DIY ethics. This was a push against the restrictions of the previous decade– against the jock ideas about who could belong to punk, and about what punk could be. Love could be placed with anger. Sensitivity with frustration. Concerns about inclusion, sexual identity, privilege, and racial violence were better illustrated by really hard music.

Most important to the whole stance: Poses don’t fucking matter. Just be real. Be human.

In the middle of this moment, the California band Downcast put out a few records, played almost 200 shows over four years, and then was gone. Live, when everything connected, they left audiences standing quietly, sometimes crying.

Diverse influences, the need for musical expression and an approach with a different purpose and artistic profundity gave birth to the Croatian metal band Downcast Art. The journey of their creation began, conceptually, in autumn 2005 and after a few years of activity the band formed into a productive union which eventually resulted in.

Legendary hardcore label Ebullition Records, closely connected to Downcast’s sound and a heavy influence on their ethical stance, went on over the following twenty years to produce a catalog that still defines this strain of the hardcore music scene. Serious, smart, and unapologetic about giving a shit. All of this was before the bittersweet moment when punk went mainstream, when Nirvana pulled back the curtain on a rich underground scene, and ushered in an era of heavily filtered, safely redacted music.

But music with heart still matters, just like it always has. It’s the perfect platform for a strong message. And this is why members Kevin Doss, Greg Doss, Brent Stephens, and Sean Sellers are picking up where they left off. This time around, Ebullition Records teams up with the pioneering noise label Three One G. No reunion. It’s another chance to put effort into a shared passion. This time around, Ebullition Records teams up with the pioneering noise label Three One G. There’s a good reason for this pairing; these are all the same people who came of age in the resistant, political, determined hardcore music of the nineties.

Modern Metal band Downcast Collision came to life in another dimension in space and time.
By chance its members were cast down to collide with this universe. Here the laws of nature work differently, which makes the band feel misplaced and angry. Stuck in this world, all they can really hope for now, is to find a way to merge both worlds into one.
How that will end, no one yet knows.

Musically Downcast Collision sounds like dark science; heavy, killer riffing and without much subtlety. Bold songs and dark vocals that deal with themes such as: violence, plagues of the undead, the visions of Lucifer, the killing of teenaged bullies and even travelling through another dimension to find clairvoyance. All that, while still managing to sound catchy enough for the melodies to get stuck in your mind and to never leave again.

Downcast Collision is the shadow side of love; it is the downside of up. It is the evil twin you secretly wish to be …
