November 5, 2012

According to Musica Metal, DOWN chose an unusual way to end its October 29 concert in Milan, Italy: by staging a playful wrestling match between singer Philip Anselmo and some of his bandmates. Fan-filmed video footage can be seen below.

Photos of the concert are available on Musica Metal.

"Down IV Part I - The Purple EP" sold 12,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 35 on The Billboard 200 chart.

"Down IV Part I - The Purple EP", DOWN's first in a series of four EPs to be released over the next few years (with a year between EPs),each touching on a different aspect of the band's sound, came out on September 18. It will be followed by the second collection of songs early next year, around the time of a planned U.S. tour. EPs three and four are scheduled for later in 2013.

"Down IV Part I - The Purple EP" heralds the sound of DOWN going back to its roots, with influences from BLACK SABBATH, SAINT VITUS and WITCHFINDER GENERAL.
