DOWNSPIRIT To Enter Studio In November

DOWNSPIRIT, the German/Swiss blues/metal-oriented band formed by SYMPHORCE/ex-FREEDOM CALL guitarist Cedric "Cede" Dupont, will enter the studio in November to begin recording its debut album for an early 2010 release. The group says, "It's going to be a killer!"
Prior to entering the studio, DOWNSPIRIT will play several shows in Germany and Switzerland in September. More information is available on the band's MySpace page.

"Blending old blues roots with a modern, downtuned guitar-feel, [DOWNSPIRIT's] songs are a mixture of typical bluesy '80s hard rock and a contemporary metal sound, which also includes some electro loops," according to a press release.

DOWNSPIRIT is:

Steffen Lauth - Vocals
Cédric "Cede" Dupont - Lead Guitars
Axel "Aki" Reissmann - Rhythm Guitars
Sven Rakowitz - Bass
Sebastian Dunkel - Drums
