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!"

Anselmo,
Bower,
