The sheer fact that a new Down album is only a few weeks away from release is beyond exciting. While there were the two EP’s released in 2012 and 2014 respectively, Down hasn’t released a full length album since 2007’s Down III: Over The Under. So when November 20 comes up on the calendar, it’s going to be quite a joyous day!

Down has now released and other song from the album. This one entitled “The Myth” is the album opener/track one. When you listen it automatically feels like Down, it’s the underlying elements that make it feel alive. The 70’s are awake with “The Myth” in a cool Glenn Hughes Deep Purple era meets Sabbath. Vocally Philip H. Anselmo sounds phenomenal and crisp and clear. Add in Pepper Keenan and Kirk Windstein’s great dual guitar riff attack, Pat Bruders thundering bass and Jimmy Bower’s perfect a little behind the beat swagger on the drums and it’s just a recipe for a great band and a great song.

Down V is already shaping up to a contender for best albums of the year. And as a giant Down fan myself, this couldn’t come at a better time!
