Phil Anselmo gets F**king Hostile with Battlecross

Posted by on February 7, 2017

Superjoint, Battlecross and Child Bite recently wrapped up several weeks of touring. A few years back, Battlecross did a cover of Pantera’s ’90s anthem “Fucking Hostile.” Was it a foregone conclusion that Anselmo would get up onstage and cover it with the band? No, no it wasn’t, but Phil got up and did it anyway […]

Interview: Phil Anselmo reflects on new Superjoint, gives props to Morissey

Posted by on November 21, 2016

    Phil Anselmo can easily coast off of the fruits reaped from his time as lead vocalist for one of the biggest metal juggernauts of the past 25 years. Instead, Anselmo’s post-Pantera career has seen him wrangle every non-mainstream drop of musicality that he can possibly consume – see Arson Anthem, Phillip H. Anselmo […]

Posted by on October 13, 2016

It’s been 13 years and several public scandals, since Phil Anselmo released any music under the Superjoint Ritual moniker. Members Joe Fazzio, Michael Haaga, and Hank Williams III did not return for the band’s reunion in 2014, and neither did “Ritual.” Simply called Superjoint, version 2.0 of the band found drummer Joe Gonzalez (from Philip H. Anselmo & the Illegals) and Stephen […]

Down far from done, Pepper Keenan says

Posted by on April 4, 2016

It’s  been a rough year for Phil Anselmo, for obvious reasons. His racist outburst at the Dimebash overshadowed the legacy of Pantera’s late guitarist, and also that of his bands and label.

Cooking Hostile is back with a bizkit

Posted by on March 28, 2016

Phil Anselmo has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons. And while Down might be taking a bit of a hiatus from playing live shows while Phil spends some much-needed time out of the spotlight, that doesn’t mean that his fake-animated cooking show, Cooking Hostile, needs to.

Posted by on February 5, 2016

Yesterday in a statement posted on his personal web site, Phil Anselmo revealed that he’d asked Down, a supergroup he’s at the center of, to continue on without him.
