The Downward Candidate - Distort & Confuse (Demo)
Self-financed

file under metalcore

Koen: Heading from Copenhagen (Denmark), The Downward Candidate is another example of the “Danish Dynamite” approach. These guys really know how to grab one’s attention. The demo cover gives the impression of being very inventive and professional and Berno Paulsson at Berno Studios (Amon Amarth, The Haunted…) was hired to produce the damn thing.

Most important: the four songs are packed with belligerent metalcore with a loud-mouthed vocal approach, on behalf of lead singer Kim Orneborg (also in Mugshot). The instrumentalists are skillful (guitarist Allan Tvedebrik used to play in Withering Surface) and show that they’re able to rock your socks off! I’m looking forward to supplementary bits and pieces from this band a.s.a.p.!

Contact: The Downward Candidate, Slesvigsgade 5, 2th, DK-I762 Copenhagen V, Denmark.
