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.

It arrives October 24 via MNRK, the band’s new label home. Pre-order it here.

Today, the band shares the video for first single “For What It’s Worth” (Feat. Travis Moseley of Colorblind). Watch it here.

The song is a bleak outburst of betrayal, confusion, and emotional fallout.

“As a collective going into the studio, we knew that ‘For What It’s Worth’ was a heavy favorite,” says vocalist Harrison Seanor. “Right from the opening riff, it just has that energy, that drive. It’s hard not to bang your head.”

Since 2016, Downswing have steadily evolved into a powerhouse of modern metal and groove. The group’s current incarnation emphasizes big choruses, bigger breakdowns, atmosphere, and emotion. “This is the first time it feels like we’re doing exactly what we want,” says Seanor, who joined the band in 2020. “We’re not chasing any specific trend or scene. We’re Downswing.”

Downswing are comprised 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. Downswing formed in 2018 and quickly made waves with their unique blend of metallic hardcore aggression and groove-driven heaviness. Early releases, such as the Dark Side of the Mind EP (2017) and Good Intentions (2020), cultivated a dedicated following in the underground and earned the band a reputation for high intensity. In a glowing 9/10 review, New Transcendence said 2022’s New Lows EP “packs a hefty punch” and “a stellar appetizer to whatever is up next in the band’s bright future.” The Let This Life Devour You EP arrived in 2024.
