Background information über 'Down II'

Down's sophomore effort "Down II" stands as a monumental testament to the band's ability to channel pure Southern sludge into something transcendent. This New Orleans supergroup, featuring members of Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity, and Crowbar, delivers fifteen tracks of crushing, bourbon-soaked metal that feels like a spiritual journey through the darkest corners of the American South. From the opening drone of "Lysergik Funeral Procession" to the apocalyptic finale "Landing On the Mountains of Megiddo", every moment drips with that signature Down atmosphere - equal parts menacing and hypnotic.

The album showcases the band's remarkable range, moving seamlessly from the groove-heavy assault of "The Man That Follows Hell" to the haunting introspection of "Beautifully Depressed". Phil Anselmo's vocals have never sounded more commanding, while the rhythm section creates a foundation so heavy it could crack concrete. Tracks like "New Orleans is a Dying Whore" and "Ghosts Along the Mississippi" serve as love letters to their hometown, wrapped in layers of distortion and existential dread that only Down can deliver with such authenticity.

For fans of: Eyehategod, Crowbar, Sleep, Electric Wizard and High on Fire
