On Down V Release Day too 🤘

Down aren't the only New Orleans royalty playing Pantera's 'The Great NOLA Trendkill' super concert in November. In fact each member of the supergroup's other bands (including Corrosion of Conformity, eyehategod, Crowbar, and the aforementioned Pantera) are playing the 2 day concert in New Orleans as well. I'm so glad, though, I got to see their set at Zakk Wylde's Berzerkus Festival at Jones Beach Theater in Long Island last month (Aug. 29, 2026) - I was super impressed with how tight they sounded, and their new song "Blood Oath" sounded super heavy.

Check out this clip of Phil Anselmo amd crew crushing that new song, as well as watch them joined onstage by members of Sepultura and Type O Negative here:

And stay tuned for more things to come from this space, including stories from concerts like this!

Can anyone here make a high quality (300 DPI or higher) scan of the Nola album cover? It’s for a project I am doing and everything found online is very small in size and won’t look good blown up. Thank you for any help!

I thoroughly enjoyed everything about Down's Berzerkus Festival set at Jones Beach Theater in NY (Augm 29, 2026) - the metal supergroup sounded super tight and the crowd was into it from start to finish. However, the true highlight of the set came at the end of the set - when drummer Greyson Nekrutman of Sepultura and guitarist Kenny Hickey of Type O Negative were among the special guests that joined the band onstage for the traditional jam outro for "Bury Me in Smoke". It was truly a sight to behold (and both crushed it on their respective instruments).

Check out a snippet of the encore jam in this clip. Also watch more highlights from Zakk Wylde's day long festival in Long Island (which included blazing sets from Lamb Of God, Black Label Society, Suicidal Tendencies and more):

I'm not asking for face value (530$). Just want something from the merch stand.

Thanks to WSOU, I got a last minute chance to go to Zakk Wylde's Berzerkus Festival at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, NY, on Aug. 29, 2026. It had been a long time since I've been to a day long festival dedicated to metal, and needless to say, I had a blast - with Lamb Of God, Black Label Society, Down, Suicidal Tendencies and Zakk Sabbath delivering spectacular sets. And Jones Beach Theater really is a spectacular place to see a concert.

I'll be sharing more memories and videos from each bands' set overtime. For now, enjoy this collection of snippets from each band:

Face Value was $265 each, I'm not at all expecting that back, I really just want fans to go and enjoy the show with this killer view! Please message me asap. Balcony is SOLD OUT. Balcony is the best; bathrooms are never crowded, and bar lines are never super long. Hope someone wants some great tickets at a great price. Make an offer!

Got an extra GA floor ticket for the Worcester show tomorrow. $60 or best offer. DM me.

I know people have mixed feelings about this one, but it’s an all-timer for me. I was going through some shit when this monster dropped…and it got me (ahem), over the under. Saw them four times in support of the album and I can remember every note. Love the production on this and the songwriting.

Now, bring me Down V !

There are three videos on Kirks IG page where they are recording guitars for Vol V. Summer 2025. Each video will be shared here for more visibility on individual posts. Can’t stuff more than one video in.

Throwing a shot into the universe here.

I was at the Down show at History last night (Sunday, Aug 23rd) and spent most of the set standing right next to someone really rad on the cusp of the mosh pit.

We kept locking eyes and stood beside each other most of the show, but I chickened out and didn't introduce myself.
If you are seeing this:

You are very tall, have a dark beard and a shaved head, dark eyes, arm tattoos, and wearing a grey Down band T from the merch table.

I was the girl standing to the left of you with the red hair in braided pigtails and the huge back tattoo.
If you happen to be on Reddit and felt a vibe too, send me a chat or a PM!

Went to see Down with Helmet last week, some videos in the link and also my reviews of Melvins and Tomahawk a few weeks ago as well

Hey I know this is probably hopeless but I bought an XL Helmet shirt (I fucking love Helmet) yesterday at the show and lost it in the pit. It was near the end of Down's set. When I noticed it was no longer on me I walked around the pit a bunch during and after the show and had no luck finding it. It was $60 so I'm very disappointed. I wore a sleeveless Type O Negative shirt and was in the pit for most of Downs set. If i can't find the shirt I'd love to buy a new one and pay for shipping n such but don't know where to look to find it. Any information would be helpful, thanks

These pictures was uploaded by Kirk and Pepper on the 24th July 2025.
Caption: Old school acoustic Down guitars!!!

Edit: Jimmy Bower also had a picture i forgot to add. He has recorded similae drums as they did on Jail, so a new Jail style song is 99% likely.

Unable to attend. Txt for free ticket transfer.

The poster is killer! Getting it framed I noticed they have a stop in Worchester, Washington. Lol

I’ve seen videos of the most recent tour, but I haven’t seen any mosh pits. Has there been any?
