New Down Studio Album

In a recent interview with Metal Maniacs magazine, Eyehategod/Superjoint Ritual guitarist and Down drummer Jimmy Bower revealed that he is "sure we'll do another Down record. I've talked to Phil [Anselmo, Down/Superjoint Ritual/ex-Pantera frontman] and everybody else. Everybody's expressed interest in wanting to do a Down record, so that's basically all it takes. Hopefully within the next year or two that can happen. Down records are fun. Phil's doing a lot better as far as handling [Dimebag's death]. It's been a big wake-up call for a lot of people over the the last five, six months. People are doing cool things with their lives; cool, positive things. Let's save metal!"

Down is the New Orleans "supergroup" featuring Anselmo, Bower, Pepper Keenan (guitars, C.O.C.), Rex Brown (bass, ex-Pantera) and Kirk Windstein (guitars, Crowbar). The band's sophomore album, "Down II", was released in March 2002 on Elektra Records.

Down headlined the second stage at the 2002 Ozzfest.

About freaking time PHIL! Superjoint's cool but Down is way more technical (thanks Pepper). Good to hear Phil is getting his shit back together, didn't hear much about him since Dime's death (R.I.P.)

[minimanson]

down are kick ass, so much better than superjoint, not as good as pantera (rest in peace dime)

[southern_stylin]

No one will ever be as good as Pantera. In my humble opinion.

[Alex101]

and will it be released before the year's end?

Phil anselmo sucks. Dimebag Darrell rules.

[kevhead]

yeah, dimes allways been good at what he does. On records and live. But phil was only good on records i'd say. Most of the time live he sucked, it got progesivly worse on and on. About the time of reinventing the steel his voice was terribly sometimes live.
