Acting as both the protégé and natural extension of metal superstars Slipknot, Downthesun make the same kind of slimy alternative alloy spliced with the visceral approach of death metallic element. The band came unitedly when initiation members Church and Lance "Kuk" Collier open for Slipknot in one of their former bands. Becoming friends with singer Shawn Crahan through the concert, Crahan immediately recommended his stage help Satone and mate Des Moines native Dan Spain as potentiality members for a newer, heavier band. The quatern got unitedly and knew the collaboration would be a fruitful one, so after adding Aaron Peltz and Bruce Swink to the mix they decided they would formally become Downthesun. Working on material end-to-end the future year, they scored a deal with Roadrunner Records and prepared themselves for a visit to the studio. Hooking up with Melvins/Jesus Lizard producer GGGarth, they exhausted half a dozen weeks in the studio and emerged with their eponymic debut, released in the fall of 2002.
