FireDown Below

Formed in Ghent (Belgium) in 2015, Fire Down Below first stepped into the spotlight with
their self-released debut album Viper Vixen Goddess Saint in 2016. The album quickly
garnered international praise and caught the attention of California-based label Ripple
Music, home of some of the finest bands in the world of stoner, doom and heavy rock.
Ripple Music re-released VVGS worldwide and released sophomore album Hymn of the
Cosmic Man in 2018. The second album again received excellent critique and Fire Down
Below played over 30 shows throughout Europe in the next year.
Album three, Low Desert Surf Club, was recorded in late 2022. The band sought and found a
producer in Nick DiSalvo, famed frontman of the bands Elder and Delving. Richard Behrens
(Samsara Blues Experiment, Big Snuff Studio Berlin) was added to the team to record and
mix the nine tracks on the album. Low Desert Surf Club was released on 8 September 2023
and quickly gathered rave reviews.
Fire Down Below has become known for energetic live shows, with sweat often dripping from
the walls by the time they quit the stage. They have shared line ups with bands like Fu
Manchu, Sleep, Monster Magnet, Acid King, Naxatras and Stoned Jesus and appeared on
festival such as Desertfest Antwerp (BE), Desertfest London (UK), Desertfest Ghent (BE),
Alcatraz Hard Rock and Metal Festival (BE), Ripplefest Cologne (GER) and Westill Fest
(FR). In January 2025 Fire Down Below will perform at Planet Desert Rock festival in Las
Vegas, USA.
