2016 pressed double album on black vinyls

The combination of Phil Anselmo and Pepper Keenan should beenough to cause heavy metal fans to drool, but with a full castmade up of members of Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity, Crowbar,and Eyehategod, Down is truly a supergroup, and performs as such.Make no mistake, though, the music inevitably comes back to Anselmoand Keenan. ‘Nola’ (an acronym for New Orleans, Louisiana) takesthe two superstars writing talents and distinctive sounds andfocuses them in a feast of Cajun-style heavy metal. Like much ofPantera’s music, ‘Nola’ is lyrically enigmatic and frequentlycelebrates the use of controlled substances. Glorification ofcannabis aside, the album’s true focus is inner melancholy andatonement for earlier sins. Keenan’s own brand of crunching axework— the kind that typifies his work with Corrosion of Conformity —compliments Anselmo’s genuinely sorrowful vocals, and the twopropel the album to its logical conclusion without the flashy solosor other excesses that often accompany their separate works. Thetwo also combine in a unique way on ‘Pray for the Locust’, aninstrumental that was written by Anselmo but consists simply ofKeenan on the guitar. From the highly layered ‘Stone the Crow’, thegroup’s only major radio hit, to the ponderous, introspective ‘BuryMe in Smoke’, the members of Down display their abilities to playquality rock & roll outside the comfort of their individualbands. In terms of consistency and sheer rock power, ‘Nola’surpasses all but the very best of the featured artists otherworks, and can proudly be embraced in any of the associated bandscatalogs. This is a landmark album that combines the talents ofdedicated rock musicians, and should be included in any collectionof heavy metal music.
