MELVINS in August/September. The group will then return to the studio from October through December to record what will eventually become the fourth
DOWN album, tentatively due in early 2010.
DOWN/ex-
PANTERA singer
Philip Anselmo recently spent time at home in New Orleans recovering from surgery.
Anselmo said in an April online posting, "this time it was a semi-torn ACL [anterior cruciate ligament, one of four ligaments that are critical to the stability of the knee joint] and a semi-torn meniscus [a common knee injury that can cause pain in the joint]."
In October 2008,
DOWN released a "deluxe edition" of its critically acclaimed third album,
"Over the Under". The deluxe package, which was made available as a
Best Buy exclusive, includes a DVD with over 30 minutes of previously unreleased live performances and behind-the-scenes footage. The album was released on
Down Records in conjunction with
Warner Music Group's
Independent Label Group (
ILG).
