The Downfall sound comes from a mixture of styles and influences each member brings with him. Their music has been characterized by listeners as "high energy rock, slightly alternative with a heavy metal twist." The band's collaborative songwriting efforts give each song a tightness and edginess and serve to showcase the members' influences and talents. The inspirations and influences of the group tell the story. Every member is heavily influenced by classic heavy metal and hard rock pioneers such as Metallica, Ozzy and Pantera, and by contemporary artists like Black Label Society. In addition, Downfall's songwriting and musical styles draw upon past and present rock, classical, jazz and blues influences. This collection of influences and styles makes for an unmistakable chemistry and sound associated with Downfall - the "sound" that Downfall fans love.
