The wait for brand new Down is sort of over! Properly, “virtually” as in Down‘s first new launch since their Down IV, Pt. 2 EP in 2014 is coming someday inside the subsequent 12 months. Based on Down guitarist Kirk Windstein in an interview with That Metallic Interview, there are 10 new songs able to go and the writing course of must be accomplished someday quickly.
“I have been in Down world, you already know, writing with Down and ending up the writing for the album that is out subsequent 12 months in some unspecified time in the future” He later added: “I imply, we received 10 new songs, man. It is superior.”
Down in 2024 is Windstein (Crowbar) and fellow guitarist Pepper Keenan (Corrosion Of Conformity), vocalist Phil Anselmo (Pantera), bassist Patrick Bruders (Saint Vitus, ex-Crowbar), and drummer Jimmy Bower (Eyehategod). As for the brand new materials, Windstein beforehand stated in an interview with Concrete Spew that new Down is sounds rather a lot like previous Down. In order that’s excellent news.
“It simply seems like Down,” stated Windstein. “I imply, it sounds refreshing as a result of we’ve not accomplished it in so lengthy, gotten along with me and the fellows and accomplished it in — fuck — 12 years or one thing. So it seems like Down, I feel, to me, it sounds extra old-school Down. And the rationale I say that’s I feel we received to some extent the place… Like, the NOLA file is so easy, and it simply wrote itself; it was so easy. And that is how that is coming about, which is nice.
“We’re not overthinking it. We’re not making an attempt to make issues too complicated. Phillip‘s not making an attempt to jot down so many lyrics and issues. We simply type of received away — I hate to say ‘received away’, ‘trigger something we do is Down, however, to me, we type of received just a little bit… We wanted to return and have a look at one another and simply go, ‘Let’s simply get in a room and do it like we did from the start.’ And that is what it feels prefer to me. It’s extremely magical. The concepts and the working collectively, simply bounce off of each other, it is a pure factor.”
