A Sacrifice of Love

Consistently demonstrating an innate ability to create music-based art that is timelessly relevant, identifiable with in its immediacy and overwhelmingly profound despite its apparent simplicity, Downhere offers up its latest creation On the Altar of Love. Much like previous projects, the band presents the listener with a collection of approachable and compelling acoustic-based pop/rock.

The album showcases the band’s strengths: the trademark seamless shared vocal transitions; mature, germane lyrics; as well as their signature musical underpinnings of guitar and piano. Every element comes together to produce enduring, hope-laced songs grafted to archetypal yet contemporary music. And while the tone of said music can be interpreted as playful & light-hearted, the delivery conveying the paradoxical reality of our flawed humanity coming into contact with perfect Holiness never lacks a sense of the utmost regard.

Whether is was Abel’s oblation prior to his death, the Levitical proscriptions for “unblemished sacrifices” or Christ’s own sinless atonement, in GOD’s eyes, placing something on HIS altar involves both a whole-hearted offering along with a gift that is the best one has to offer. Downhere is a group of guys that get this- their albums reflect a spirituality, ethos and character of the highest caliber expressed through talent, ability and dedication. On the Altar of Love is beyond a doubt, a sacrificial offering of love of the highest order.
