    POSTED

    Down have just announced that they are going to release ‘Down IV - Part Two’ EP on May 9! Tracked at Nodferatu’s Lair (Phillip H. Anselmo’s home studio) and produced by Michael Thompson alongside the band, it is sure to be a killer.

    “The new offering from Down is packed with the quintet’s signaturegargantuan riffs, swamp blues leads, crashing drums and hypnotic howls,upholding a certain tradition that countless fans celebrate, expanding their own musical mythos as they leave its pillars intact and untouched.”

    “He was immediately at home,” affirmsAnselmo. “Bobbyhad always been that guy in case of anything. Knowing his personality, he really locked in with what we do and took it to heart. He made himself belong. Honestly, the first day he came down he contributed a very strong riff to a key song. There’s that Southern element, which is imperative. I also catch a real old heavy metal vibe from this record. I can’t stress this enough. He took it all on, and he did a fucking awesome job.”
    Keenanadds, “Even with the lineup differences, it’s interesting how the songs still sound veryDOWN.Bobbyand I have always locked in. It’s not just physically either, but mentally as well. We see eye-to-eye, and he’s been watching for a long time.”

    “It was a big deal for me,” beamsLandgraf. “I drove ten hours up from Texas that first day, cracked a beer, and plugged in. We jumped right into the room, and I played this part. They all smiled. That was the moment for me. I’m a longtime fan, and I knew we were friends, but being a part of the writing and working towards something together was just incredible. As a guitar player, one of my goals was to be in a group like this. I want to make everyone proud.”


    “We wanted to back up our word as far as releasing these EPs,"Anselmogoes on. "Everybody was fixated on that. This is the shortest period of time between our releases, and every one stepped it up and upped his game.Keenan,Bower,BrudersandLandgrafall contributed some excellent riffs. Having all of this fresh input makes for a different listen and a new perspective on whatDOWNshould and does sound like. All of that yields a unique record off the bat.”
