Downspell
San Diego's Downspell has been working the volatile border between metalcore and death metal since 2011, carving out a sound that draws on the rhythmic attack of metalcore while pushing toward the rawer brutality of death metal. Southern California's proximity to the Mexican border and its dense, multilayered underground scene give Downspell's music a gritty, street-level energy that distinguishes it from more polished genre exercises. Over a decade in, they represent a tenacious underground presence in a city with fierce competition for heavy music territory.
