#8 Down IV, Part I

DOWN IV Part 1

Although ‘Down IV, Part 1 – The Purple EP’ contains only six songs, the tracks within offer a sustaining energy that carries the weight of a full-length. The vocal prowess of Phil Anselmo remains powerful, especially when delving low into his range, while the rest of Down pump out monstrous sludge into the groove-driven ‘Levitation’ and the anthemic ‘Witchtripper.’
