Phil Anselmo Mulling The Possibility Of Doing An “Old-School” Metal Project: “I’ve Been Kind Of Feeling More Halford Lately”

During a recent appearance on “The New York Hardcore Chronicles Live!” series, Phil Anselmo (Pantera, Down, etc.) offered an update on his latest musical projects. Interestingly, the frontman revealed that he is considering the possibility of doing an “old-school” metal project.

Anselmo said the following:

“I just pretty much had a new studio installed next door [to my house], and we’re working all kind of bugs out and whatnot. So I tell my guy, my engineer, I tell him, I said, ‘Just program some drums, man. Give me some drums. Give me a different drum beat every day — up beat, down beat, whatever. Give me something.’ So I’ll walk in, there’s a drumbeat, and I’ll just pick up any instrument and just go right off the cuff. And it is some of the worst music you can imagine.

He also added:

I don’t know, man. I’m this close, man [holds two fingers close together] — I’m this close. I’m feeling something. We’ll see what it is. I’ve got a couple of options. I just don’t know, man. If it’s gonna be metal, I wanna do it old school, man. I’ve been kind of feeling more [Rob] Halford lately, man, vocal-wise, just singing, using my range again. So, we’ll see. It’s gotta be right.”
