Face Down

Face Down was a post-thrash aggro-metal band, with a quite heavy wall-of-sound guitar style and angry, hardcore-ish vocals from Marco Aro. Comparisons to Pantera are valid, as well as fellow Swedes such as Transport League or Mary Beats Jane, though these guys are perhaps a shade heavier. The band broke up following Aro's decision to join The Haunted, reformed in 2004 after Aro served his time there, and survived until 2011, with Aro again moving to The Haunted.
