Draft:Downstone

Submission declined on 30 September 2024 by KylieTastic (talk).

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.

Downstone is a Finnish band formed in 2005 in the Bothnian Bay area, specifically in the towns of Oulu and Kemi. After several changes in the line-up, the band eventually consisted solely of Oulu-based members. This allowed Downstone to focus on developing their own sound and style of music.

Downstone’s music blends rock and metal, characterized by melodies and a strong atmospheric presence. The band experimented also with acoustic arrangements for their existing material in 2007, which led to the release of their unplugged album, ‘Hinderance’, in 2008.

Since 2005 Downstone has performed in various live line-ups and completed a total of four releases as singles, EPs, full-length albums, and live albums.

In 2024, Downstone is preparing for the release of their new full-length album, entitled Colours of Addiction. The album is set to release at the end of the year, preceded by single releases. Colours of Addiction was recorded at Mastervox studios and at City Theatre studio in Oulu. The album is mixed by Jari Niemi (Oulu) and mastered by Robin Schmidt in Karlsruhe, Germany.
