Founded in 2003 by Guitarist Scotty “Roc” Kirkland, drummer Eric Mason, vocalist Brad Parker, and bassist Karl Mager. “DOWNSLAVE” began developing what was to become one of the most thunderous METAL assaults ever to be heard in the East Tennessee area. . After around a year of practicing, writing, and perfecting we began playing shows live in the East Tennessee area and are looking forward to quickly branching out into all areas as we continue to build a vast fan base, local and abroad. We are currently planning the recording of a full length album to follow up the recently recorded 5 track EP. If you like bone crushing, rip your face off Southern metal, you should definitely check us out and book us in a venue near you. We are a crowd friendly, partying, good time METAL band that deserves a shot! We appreciate your time for reading and listening.
