Monumental progress doesn't occur overnightSome of man kind's most powerful words don't come from education or privilege, but erupt from the pain and roughness of the streets; they smolder through the cracks in the concrete until eventually grand truths are revealed, and the winds of change slowly emergeIt is with these notions in mind that old school Hardcore Kings DOWNSET began to surface in Los Angeles, California in the early 1980's
The genesis of DOWNSET itself was not one of entitlement or handouts, eitherOriginally formed with a straight edge mentality under the name of SOCIAL JUSTICE, the members of DOWNSET have been fighting against societal injustice for a long timeFounder and vocalist Rey Oropeza began using graffiti as its own language for change in about 1982The group eventually released demos and shifted from SOCIAL JUSTICE to DOWNSET"It has multiple meanings," explains guitarist and producer Rogelio Lozano (CYPRESS HILL, POWERFLO)"Some people are set up in life, some are down with a set, but it also means to start off underprivileged; to have a life full of disadvantages." All of these notions and inspirations eventually procured a self-titled studio album that was released in 1994 via Mercury Records
A musical style that was distinctly hardcore combined with Oropeza's MC abilities allowed DOWNSET to stand out from other metal acts, while still being able to achieve a variety of tours with some of the most prominent bands of the timeAfter member rearrangements, and the 1996 release of "Do We Speak A Dead Language," the band went on to join the original "TATTOO THE EARTH" tour in 2000 with the likes of SLAYER, SEPULTURA, MUDVAYNE and moreThis all coincided perfectly with the release of "Check Your People," and once again the band was on the hustle
With more member changes and the release of "Universal" a few years later in 2004, followed up by self-released "One Blood" in 2014DOWNSET signed a new record deal in 2022 with the world's leading metal label: Nuclear Blast Records, the first fruits of which was their last album "Maintain"The new year will hold colossal announcements as far as new music, touring, and moreThe future of society remains to be seen, but the future of DOWNSET has been carved in the stone of the streets for decades
