If there’s one person that knows the worlds of horror and metal, it’s Housecore Records founder and Pantera and Down vocalist Philip H. Anselmo. If there’s one other, it’s Metal Sucks contributor and Anselmo’s bio writer Corey Mitchell, who’s made a career of writing true crime stories. Together, the two are combining forces to present [...]

Happy New Year, dear readers! New & Noteworthy is back! And, as it happens, we’re also fashionably late in returning to work. Yes, it seems that, in my state of being completely oblivious to all things for the first week of 2013 (recovery from family holidays is a long process, guys), I missed the first [...]

In 1985, Pantera released their third album, I Am the Night. It would be five years and two albums until their 1990 breakout, Cowboys From Hell. Is that the trajectory that Hellyeah is on?

Metal and Halloween just go together naturally. In fact, we’ve already seen some bands getting into the holiday spirit. Now, Down is getting in on it too in their own way. The band wants to see your Halloween costume and they want to give you one of three prizes. All you have to do is [...]

It’s been years since Down released an album, and they’re not about to start now. However, they will be releasing a series of EPs. On Tuesday, the wait for the first one, the awkwardly-titled Down IV Part 1: The Purple EP, is over. And if you just want to listen to it, the wait’s over now. [...]

This past Friday night (September 7), the fourth annual Metal Masters clinic took place at The Gramercy in NYC. Featured “metal masters” included Slayer’s Kerry King and Dave Lombardo, Anthrax’s Scott Ian, Charlie Benante and Frank Bello, Down’s (ex-Pantera) Philip Anselmo, Mr. Big bassist Billy Sheehan and Exodus’ Gary Holt. The night lacked any “surprise [...]

Some of Down’s last album, 2007′s excellent Over the Under, was written about the band’s anger over Hurricane Katrina and the way things were handled in the wake of it. So it makes total sense to have Philip J. Anselmo check in from New Orleans as Hurricane Isaac barreled down on the city seven years [...]

New music from Down was kind of like the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy, in that we kept hearing about it, but it was hard to prove that it existed. Finally, via Rolling Stone, the first taste of their forthcoming EP, snappily titled EP ONE, surfaced earlier this morning. “Witchtripper” is vintage Down that sounds like it [...]
