Contemporary R&B
Contemporary R&B

Down is a Contemporary R&B act. Their sound grew out of Melvins, Trouble, Saint Vitus, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. Those roots explain a lot about how Down arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Corrosion of Conformity, Crowbar, Acid Bath, Church of Misery and Kyuss, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Cancer Bats, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 17 connections around Down, reaching back through Melvins and forward to Cancer Bats.
