Go then, there are other worlds than these.

Not all is silence. Listen.

FACE DOWN HERO delivers high-energy, modern thrash metal with depth. Founded in 2004 in Marburg by vocalist and guitarist Kali Naumann, bassist Sebastian Rink and drummer Carsten Kachelmus (formerly of Mind-Ashes), our music blends heavy riffs, powerful grooves, and melodic hooks. The band name is lifted from a song by US thrash legends Forbidden, reflecting our musical roots.

We dropped our debut album “Opinion Converter” in 2007. Since then, we've released six full-length albums, including “Of Storytellers and Gunfellas” (2009) and “False Evidence Appearing Real” (2017). Our songs tell stories – ranging from personal experiences to social issues – wrapped in an intense, powerful and yet melodic soundscape.

Over the years, we've shared the stage with metal heavyweights like Flotsam and Jetsam and Tankard. Since 2020, guitarist Marc Kollmann has been part of the band, and we're moving forward with renewed energy – preparing the release of our new record and opening the next chapter of FACE DOWN HERO.

A thousand worlds, a thousand pictures, all turned to dust.
