DOWN THE DRAIN DEMO

Brett Hoffman the vocalist of Down the Drain seems to growl out the lyrics to each song on their demo with "Your Demise" being no exception. This song reminds me of early Korn (Lies) with it's bangin' beat and dark sound, a quality I seem to enjoy in a band. All of the songs contain menacing vocals and hardcore guitar riffs. This metal core band hails from Buffalo New York, and contain a strong chemistry amongst themselves. The band is back in the studio and a tour will soon follow. If you like death metal or anything raw with hardcore sound, you'll rock out with this one.

Review by Abby

Ever have that feeling that someone is coming up right behind you while you are sitting in the dark? That’s how Down The Drain’s demo made me feel. I feel that this music would be great in a horror film during a bloody battle between two evil characters. “Everyone's Fucked” would work out great. It has got an awesome intro, but soon after followed with a deep growling voice.
 After listening to all the songs on repeat for what seemed like a couple hours, the vocals seemed to drag on and get on my nerves. Unless you love this demo, I’d suggest not listening to it for long periods of time all at once.
