Down hit the road for short trek this summer

Metal legends Down have announced their “Eastbound ‘N’ DOWN” summer run. The band’s ten-day North American trek begins on August 6th in Louisville, KY and comes to an end on August 16th in Wilmington, NC.
 
Down IV – Part Two was released in May 2014 via Down Records/ADA and was the band’s highest charting release to-date (#1 on iTunes’ Rock Albums chart; #23 on Billboard’s Top 200). The EP was met with a slew of critical acclaim, such as Decibel who proclaimed, “From Phil Anselmo’s feral opening scream to his last spectral croon, Down doesn’t waste a hook or a minute of your time. Jimmy Bower’s beats are the perfect bar-brawling accomplices for the rowdy riffs conjured by Pepper Keenan and newcomer Bobby Landgraf, kicking the songs in the guts for extra giddy.” “We Knew Him Well” – the EP’s lead single – has also garnered praise, with Stereogum calling it “a titanic, bludgeoning deep-head-nod groove…it’s gloriously messy but locked-in in the way that only New Orleans metal bands can pull off.”
