“CD REVIEW North Coast Voice vol 10 issue 13 page 11 by Jasper... "Boy we sure have come a long way in hard & heavy rock since Black Sabbath…especially Master of Reality, an album that will remain on my top 10 list of hard pounding guitar based rock for the rest of my life. Over the years, many bands have kept that tradition of music alive and have enjoyed much success with such talented greatness. If Ozzfest scouts are on the lookout for new acts to join in, they should consider Downcore who has just released their debut CD. Overall, Downcore is good hard rocking alternative metal CD with good songs and lyrics and some wild guitar works by Jaymz. If you’re one looking to keep the sounds of Black Sabbath, Godsmack, and Alice in Chains alive, then don’t hesitate to add this to your collection. Don’t forget to be on the lookout for live performances.”
