Downpour features Shadows Fall vocalist Brian Fair and drummer Derek Kerswill (Unearth, Seemless). The album was recorded in spurts over a four-month period in 2015. The band purposefully elected to sit on the record until now.

Kerswill commented:

“We consciously sat on the record for the last few years due to a lot of scheduling issues and we had all talked about the idea that back then. Everything was about content, and we wanted the days of Soundgarden and Tool-style mystery.”

Brian Fair commented:

“When I was first approached by Derek about getting involved with the Downpour, Shadows Fall was starting to come to an end and I wasn’t sure I was ready to start working with another band. When he sent me the instrumental versions of the songs, I knew immediately that I had to get in! The combination of musicianship, unique songwriting style, and a groove that can’t be fucked with just absolutely blew my mind.”

“This was not only music I had always wanted to hear – it was music that I thought would allow me to push myself as a vocalist and try totally new things. I tracked some lo-fi, home studio demos and sent them off to the boys, having no idea if they would be feeling what I was laying down but I know I was! Luckily, they got my vision and encouraged me to push it even further.”

The band, rounded out by guitarist Matt LeBreton and bassist Pete Gelles, continues to maintain that same vision.

Fair continues:

“We wanted to make a unique metal record that represented our varied influences, unrestrained by sub- genre or any other restrictions, The vocal lines and lyrics seemed to flow effortlessly. The riffs and grooves really inspired me to find some deep and personal subject matter that I had yet to explore lyrically. Before I knew it, we had enough material for the record and we hadn’t even all jammed in the same room yet!”
