Down Returning To The Stage
After cancelling some shows due to the outrage over the white power outburst and Pepper going full force with COC, Philip Anslemo recently addressed the future of Down at the Diamond Pub Concert Hall in Louisville, Kentucky.
“I think between myself, Patrick Bruders and one James Bower from EyeHateGod… We haven’t seen much of Pepper, because he’s obviously been busy with COC. That’s the freedom that rock and roll brings. So, yeah, we’re all kind of doing our own things but we always come back together because Black Sabbath, Trouble and Saint Vitus bring us back together, and that’s where we started from, you know what I’m saying?”
Down has now confirmed to play the Psycho Las Vegas music festival taking place at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, August 26th-28th 2016. More info can be found here. There are no other confirmed shows at the moment.
You can check out an audio recording of some of the Anselmo question-and-answer session in Louisville by listening to the “Talk Toomey” podcast at this location. More...
Fossils Announces "Altered Steaks" Release
In 2015, instrumental noise-proggers Fossils had their Roskilde Festival debut and with that, one of the band's biggest wishes had come true. A performance at Roskilde had been on the band's bucket list for years, and Saturday night, July 4th that dream became reality.
An experience of this kind had to be documented and preserved for posterity. So now, Fossils and Indisciplinarian are releasing a 7" vinyl bearing the fitting moniker "Altered Steaks." The record consists of four deliciously prepared songs served live at the Roskilde Gloria stage, where Fossils played an unusually extensive one-hour show, stirring up a fiery crowd.
The four songs on "Altered Steaks" is a display of both old and new. "Stun" and "Carnivore Arrest" are both songs from the band's latest full length, "Flesh Hammer," which are given a hard, but fair and firm treatment live, while "Cerebral Vortex" and "Baconized" are two brand new songs - hard hitting indications of what's to come on the band's next album.
