It’s been twenty four hours since Down released “Blood Oath,” their first new song since 2014! Right off the bat it’s got that classic Down sound. You know that sludgy sabbath sound?! Kirk and Pepper really play off each other seamlessly. While Pat and Jimmy are locked in with an extra bit of swagger. And the. Phillip H. Anselmo sounding as crisp, clear and thunderous! Needless to say it’s been in heavy rotation since the release!
Down’s long awaited new album, Volume V, arrives on November 20th! It’s been twenty years since their last full length album! Crazy! On a personal note, I have a deep affinity for Down. So much so I get into arguments because I think Down is better than Pantera! Yeah I said it! I’ll explain that at a later date. In the meantime (pun intended since Down and Helmet are on tour together), enjoy “Blood Oath” and be sure you crank that volume!!
