During an appearance on “The Jasta Show,” Down’s Kirk Windstein discussed the band’s upcoming album. According to him, “it’s really gonna be a killer, killer record.”
Windstein said the following:
“We kind of got it set up for Pepper and I to finish all the guitars in November. He doesn’t get home till October 27th or something, and we [in CROWBAR] do the [Headbangers] Boat, but we’re home. We’ll be home on the 5th of November, so I’m pretty much ready. Give me two or three days, and we’ll start knocking out guitar.
Phil’s doing the vocals at [his] home studio, and that’s where drums and bass were done. We did all the rhythm guitars at Duane’s [Simoneaux]. And Eddie’s [Mapp, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY’s live sound engineer] going out with ZAKK SABBATH on that tour, which is long. So he’s gonna be going all the way up to practically Christmas, so me and Pepper are, like, we might as well just do it at Duane’s and knock out the solos and sweetie tracks and stuff over there. But I think Phil’s got the proper files on two of the songs. So, to my knowledge, by the weekend or going in the next week, he may have done two already. We were talking at [the] Louder Than Life [festival in September], and he’s, like, dude, ‘I guess I oughta just…’ ‘Cause he’s already got it all written and planned out. Drums and bass are done, rhythm guitars are done. And he goes, ‘I guess I oughta just knock it out while my pipes are good,’ because that PANTERA/AMON AMARTH [tour] was long. They did have a break and all, but it was long. And I said, ‘Yeah, dude, just go for it while you’re feeling good.’ I mean, he can do it on his own schedule, his own pace. All he’s gotta do is say, ‘Yeah, I wanna sing today.’ Or, ‘Yeah, I ain’t feeling it. Okay, I’ll can come in tomorrow’ or whatever. But it’s 10 tracks, [and] he’s got great ideas on all of ’em. It’s really gonna be a killer, killer record.
It’s either gonna totally be this huge thing or just flop. But if you’re a DOWN fan, I don’t see how you can not like it.”
