Downfall's "Breaking Down" music video for the movie Bloodline (I did vote properly too by the way lol)

Hell yes

Nah man I didn't think it was you guys shouting it, but I assumed it was one of your mates or something. Fair do's if it wasn't, I got it wrong. It does make you feel like crap though if you get that the whole way through your set, and I know I should be better at handling it but still. I appreciate what you said man and for the record I think your bands shows are always tight as fuck and full of power, it's always good to see.. Also we were at that gig until the end and beyond. We just say yes to as many gigs that we're offered as we can. Just building up our live experience, trying out different ideas and essentially practicing so that when we do hit the road we can do it with a bit of confidence. As for the jackets man I just bought a couple of back patches for the jacket I'd already owned for ages so calm down.

Why is it that members from ablach and bonesaw seem to moan about us constantly. We're just a band working away and gigging. I always try and stay positive towards bands and look for things they've done well, even if it's not my thing. But people like you are ruining that for me. I thought your type of music and your attitude was to open peoples minds, accept everyone, do it yourself and support your local whatever. Why should we do it for you if all you can do is critise anyone or anything that isn't exactly like you. Just because we don't blast beat, screech, play incomprehensible riffs and write our band name in some fucked up writing that no one can read doesn't mean we suck or that we're a copy of anything. I could just as easily say that you're a carbon copy of pig destroyer or bloodbath. But you're doing your own thing within your genre and so are we. All I could hear through our drummonds set (which was only half an hour, same as everyone else) was bonesaw bonesaw, bonesaw bonesaw, that doesn't sound like the kind of support you seem to want from everyone else. Right i'm going back to being positive and enjoying music cause all this acting like a miserable fucker stuff doesn't work for me. Sorry to have been so wordy but I've enough of getting slagged for doing nothing except play what I play. I'd like to say thanks to everyone who's left messages of support or something constructive. I really appreciate it. Choose your fate 21st. Moorings fuck aye.

Just wanted to say thanks for the comments. I think we have gotten lazy on the promotion side of things, no one to blame but ourselves, but it's something we're going to work on. We tend to look at music in terms of if folk are good at what they do and play something that matters to them then it doesn't really matter what genre it is. Obviously people like certain types of music and stuff but in my own experience my taste changed quite a lot as I grew up and now I try and have an open mind towards all music. We've played with a lot of different types of bands over the past couple of years and you can always tell if they are playing from within (sounds a bit gay I know lol). We always try and get down the front and listen to the bands we play with. You get enough shit in this world without turning on fellow musicians. Oh and sorry to dead metal for missing there set on Tuesday, a couple of us were working and we couldn't get there til later. Hopefully see you at the moorings on Saturday. Cheers.

The new Downfall ep "Stare at Death" is being launched at Cafe Drummond on Tuesday the 19th of June. Doors at 7pm. It's a proper metal night with support from Element 106 and Melera. The place needs to be buzzing so if your a metal head and wanna have a good night then head down. The price of the ep is either 3.50 or 4, we aint decided yet. The gig is so cheap coz we want as many people as possible to buy the ep as well without breakng the bank, so to speak. Anyway hope yous can make it down. Cheers, Matt, Downfall xxx
