What The Press Have Said:

Upcdownc's music deserves to be treated with a bit of respect. There are moments of drawn-out doom that tickle the spine, but "Firewolf" is at its best when the catharsis gives way to sheer anger. It's an undeniably stirring offering. - 7/10. Michael Copus - Rock Sound

Upcdownc have progressed... An outstanding creation and prove that plenty of emotion can be released in a short span of time. Firewolf is an album that offers something different. - The Silent Ballet

A lesson in musical architecture, creating high drama with guitars in new ways. Their future looks bright. - KKKK - And the battle is won - Kerrang!!
