Crowbar guitarist Kirk Windstein has hinted that Down could launch new music in 2024. In a brand new interview with Scott Penfold of Loaded Radio earlier in October, Windstein stated that he and his bandmates are planning to get collectively quickly to begin writing and recording.
Down is a supergroup that in addition to Windstein options Philip Anselmo of Pantera, Pepper Keenan of Corrosion of Conformity, plus Jimmy Bower and Pat Bruders of Eyehategod. The band has launched 4 albums up to now, the newest being Down IV – Half Two in 2014.
“I talked to Phil a reasonably good bit, and we’re all gonna exit to his home and his property later this month… He sort of does like a bit Halloween factor or no matter. So we’re gonna try this.” Windstein supplied.
“Phil‘s angle is sort of identical to, ‘Look, fellas, I am doing what I am doing with Pantera. I adore it. We’re killing it.’ And boy, are they. We had the pleasure of taking part in with Pantera in Poland in early June. It was unbelievable. I imply, I laughed, I cried. My emotion was one thing else, as a result of I used to be very tight with Dimebag. It is actual — what they’re doing is actual. However what Phil stated, ‘Hey, man, within the massive image of issues, dude, I actually haven’t got a band. I am doing a Pantera reunion factor.’ And naturally they’re gonna do it so long as they’ll. I imply, I do not blame them. Who would? You do what you have gotta do. And so they’re killing it and doing it heartfelt for the appropriate causes, and I adore it.”
“However like he stated, ‘Look, you’re the guys.’ And I talked to Pepper about two or three days in the past. I believe he is received a number of exhibits in early November with C.O.C. and he is off for some time. Crowbar‘s subsequent gig is in Eire in late February, so we’re off for a very good bit. And when you’ve got 5 guys — nicely, Phil, after all, might be sort of out of the image for now however me, Pepper, Jimmy and Pat — in a room collectively, while you’ve received all these guys writing riffs off of one another… And that is the way in which I like to put in writing — I like to put in writing spontaneously off the cuff. I do not prefer to [go], ‘Okay, that is my new tune. Increase. Right here y’all go,’ or no matter. I like to put in writing off the cuff, on the spot. I really feel what the opposite guys are giving me vibe-wise and whatnot. And that, to me, is a profitable method. It truly is.”
Windstein additionally stated that he hopes the band can launch an EP of six new songs in 2024. Nonetheless, he admitted that it is too early to say for positive if that may occur.
“We talked about doing like a cover-song EP. However we threw round like 100 songs and we won’t choose and select any of them. So, to me, it is simpler to simply go, ‘Hey, guys, let’s get within the fucking room and simply write some shit.’ Come out with six songs and do an EP. So I hope that that is what occurs.”
“To be sincere, I do not know,” he added. “And this isn’t from Phil or Rex or something. They’ll do the Pantera factor ceaselessly. Like so far as festivals in South America, Europe and whatnot, they’ll — they’ll at all times go do a weekend or two in the summertime right here and there between Zakk and Charlie‘s schedules… no matter they’re as much as with their respective bands. So I hope that they do. I hope they do it ceaselessly.”
