DRAIN DOWN was founded in January 2018 in Freiburg.
The meaning of the name can be traced back to the development of the society,
which is clearly evident in the lyrics.
The sound and style of DRAIN DOWN is a mix of thrash metal and hardcore
with a good punk twist.
The 6-track EP "USE YOUR BRAIN" was recorded, mixed and mastered
at IGUANA Studios in November 2018.
In autumn 2019 DRAIN DOWN spent four weeks supporting The Exploited
on a European tour
leading through 10 countries.
In 2020 the full length debut album "Defiance" was produced and mastered
which will be released at 26th March 2021 via Timezone Records.
DRAIN DOWN have signed with Black Sunset/MDD and will release their second album "Toxic Society" on February 29th 2024!
The follow-up to their 2021 debut contains 10 songs in the tradition of hardcore punk-influenced thrash metal,
dealing with social issues and the decline of society.
