FACE DOWN Announce First Show In Six Years

January 13, 2005

FACE DOWN, the reunited Swedish outfit featuring former THE HAUNTED singer Marco Aro, have announced their first show since 1999. The concert will take place at Kolingsborg in Stockholm on April 1, and will include support from GENERAL SURGERY and CONSTRUCDEAD.

As previously announced, FACE DOWN recently uploaded full-length MP3s of three songs they recorded last year at the Offbeat Studio in Stockholm. Available for download are two brand new tracks ("Strife" and "My Sacrifice") as well as a reworking of an old unreleased song, now known as "Heretic". Check out the songs at this location.

Joining Aro in the new lineup are original members, bassist Joakim (Harju) Hedestedt (ex-CONSTRUCDEAD) and guitarist Joacim Carlsson (GENERAL SURGERY),plus new drummer Erik Thyselius (CONSTRUCDEAD, TERROR 2000).

FACE DOWN's forthcoming album, due later in the year through Sweden's Black Lodge Records, will feature brand new material, as well as reworked versions of some unreleased old tracks.

FACE DOWN have been confirmed for the 2005 edition of the 2000 Decibel Festival, tentatively set to take place next May in Bengtsfors, Sweden (180 km north of Gothenburg).
