Downswing And Everything Was Dark

Darkness isn't merely a theme for Downswing-it's the environment they've learned to endure. The Albany, New York outfit cultivates a heavy atmosphere and melodic depth, stripping away emotional armor and calloused defenses to reveal something raw and defiantly honest. The band's new album, And Everything Was Dark, serves as both a mission statement and a bold leap forward. Since 2016, Downswing has steadily evolved into a powerhouse of modern metal and groove. The group's current incarnation emphasizes big choruses, bigger breakdowns, atmosphere, and emotion. Downswing consists of Seanor, guitarist Anthony Salvaggio, bassist Chris Arnold, and drummer Nick Manzella. Created with a focus on clarity and impact, And Everything Was Dark builds on the sonic foundation of their earlier work while boldly venturing into new territory. Gargantuan riffs and breakdowns intertwine with massive hooks, textures, and lyrics that resonate deeper than ever before."For What It's Worth" is a bleak outburst of betrayal, confusion, and emotional fallout. "Too Little Too Late" and "Glass House" explore the record's central themes: what it means to lose someone you love, the toll of addiction and selfdestruction, and the slow, painful process of letting go. Downswing isn't just evolving. They've arrived.
