Crowbar frontman Kirk Windstein has been plenty busy outside the NOLA sludge band, largely with his upcoming solo album and the first new Down material in over a decade.
Down – the band featuring Windstein and fellow guitarist Pepper Keenan (Corrosion Of Conformity), vocalist Phil Anselmo (Pantera), bassist Patrick Bruders (Saint Vitus, ex-Crowbar), and drummer Jimmy Bower (Eyehategod) – has been hard at work on the follow-up to their 2014 EP Down IV – Part 2.
According to Windstein in a recent interview with Concrete Spew, new Down is starting to sound a lot like old Down – specifically their 1995 debut album NOLA.
“It just sounds like Down,” said Windstein. “I mean, it sounds refreshing because we haven’t done it in so long, gotten together with me and the guys and done it in — fuck — 12 years or something. So it sounds like Down, I think, to me, it sounds more old-school Down. And the reason I say that is I think we got to a point where… Like, the NOLA record is so simple, and it just wrote itself; it was so simple. And that’s how this is coming about, which is great.
“We’re not overthinking it. We’re not trying to make things too complex. Phillip‘s not trying to write so many lyrics and things. We just kind of got away — I hate to say ‘got away’, ’cause anything we do is Down, but, to me, we kind of got a little bit… We needed to go back and look at each other and just go, ‘Let’s just get in a room and do it like we did from the beginning.’ And that’s what it feels like to me. It’s very magical. The ideas and the working together, just bounce off of one another, it’s a natural thing.”
