Down Change Title/ Join Ozzfest

DOWN will NOT title their forthcoming sophomore effort The Backwood Heavies, contrary to a report posted at the official site of SOUTHERN ISOLATION, which features in its ranks PANTERA vocalist Philip Anselmo and his girlfriend Stephanie Opal.

Here is the rest:

Moreover, DOWN will not be recording the upcoming CD at former UGLY KID JOE guitarist Dave Fortman’s Balance Studios in New Orleans (where CROWBAR laid down their most recent effort, Sonic Excess In Its Purest Form) and the band have not yet settled on a new location for the sessions, which are due to begin shortly. Wolvie has also informed us that Sharon Osbourne, wife/manager of OZZY OSBOURNE and Ozzfest organizer, has told Anselmo personally that DOWN “could headline the second stage” of next year’s installment of the Ozzfest festival and that “Anselmo could pick three or four of the second stage bands. Anselmo took her up on the offer, but no contracts have been signed.”
