As previously reported, bluesy sludgesters Down wrapped up recording sessions for an upcoming EP back in December, and now the NOLA greats have unveiled the first stirring taste from the set: "We Knew Him Well."
What can we say, you know what you're getting when you hear Down. The song is layered with boggy, detuned doom grooves, heat-scorched twin-guitar melodies, and scratchy, half-crooned lines from Phil Anselmo that are both tuneful and menacing. It's a devastator, and you can stream it down below courtesy of Stereogum.
"We Knew Him Well" comes from the band's forthcoming Down IV – Part Two, which lands May 13.
