German/Swiss blues/metal act DOWNSPIRIT - formed by swiss SYMPHORCE/Ex-FREEDOM CALL guitarist Cédric "Cede" Dupont - have issued the following update:

"Are you a drummer or bass player? Or do you know someone who's looking for a kick-ass-rocking band? Then get in contact with Downspirit. At the moment we are searching a drummer and a bass player.

Downspirit is looking for a passionate, motivated and cool musician who knows how to rock and has proper playing abilities. If you think you are the one, please send an email to down_spirit@hotmail.com or write them on MySpace. Please include a picture and some notes about yourself. Cheers and get ready!"

According to a press release, currently Downspirit is busy working on a pre-production for their debut album which is expected to be released in early 2009. Their songs are a mixture of a modern metal sound of 2008 that goes along with the typical bluesy '80's hardrock."
