COPEHILL DOWN
SOUTH WALES METALLERS REVEAL NEW EP & SINGLE PLANS!
Welsh rising metalcorers COPEHILL DOWN throw down their commanding debut EP, The Design, The Disaster: Part One, out Friday 21st April. The Brit riff slingers will also unleash their powerful new single and video, Captive Conviction, on Friday 14th April.
Born in 2020 and coming at you from Newport, Wales, COPEHILL DOWN pull in from metalcore titans Unearth and August Burns Red, as well as taking influence from self-managed bands such as Parkway Drive. By unleashing a sound that blends emotionally charged and reflective lyricism with brutal, dynamic, groove-heavy riffs and a top draw musicianship, COPEHILL DOWN’s music spans from metalcore and Djent, to classic metal.
Featuring Neil Mahoney (guitar), James MacDonald (guitar), Dave Warr (bass) and Rhys Thomas (drums), COPEHILL DOWN follow a self-managed ‘DIY’ ethos; they work together to record, mix and master their own songs, craft their own music videos, create their own artwork and merch, hire venues, and organise their own shows to support other up-and-coming metal bands around South Wales and Bristol. This admirable approach is paying dividends as the band’s singles, Reckoning, and Akiya, pack a bulky punch, and are included on their forthcoming EP, The Design, The Disaster: Part One. These singles racked up thousands of streams, growing social media traction, and features in Moshville Times, Rock ‘N’ Load, Breathing The Core and Vents Magazine. With the release of their EP on the horizon, the band comment about the release: “Our debut EP is part one of a two-part double EP. Both are concept EPs hinging around the collapse of civilisation and how human nature has attributed to it. Each track picks up on a theme that relates to the main concept from a slightly different angle. In doing so, we wanted to tell a story that raises questions and addresses issues about the trajectory of the ‘end times’ of our civilisation that we seem to be in and are becoming ever more entrenched within.”
With a stunning EP in place, this year is the band’s time to shine. Live performances are also in the works for the coming months, including an appearance at BloodStock Metal 2 The Masses, as well as a UK tour for the Summer. COPEHILL DOWN have arrived.
