Finally: Down, the Lavender EP

Seminal stoner/sludge band that riffs like no other, Down, have finally announced the sequel to their 2012 Purple EP.  As far as I can tell it’s not a color (so yeah..the title is joke) but it’s just called Down  IV Part Two.  Along with the name the track listing and release date have also been released.  It will be released on May 12th via Roadrunner records and will be the first Down album to not feature Kirk Windstein, who is currently hard at work at making a new heavy as fuck Crowbar record.  For those wondering Bobby Landgraf of Honky will be Kirk’s replacement.  I’m definitely pumped for this and interested to hear if this change in guitarists has affected their sound at all. Here’s hoping it turns out rifftastically heavy.  And without further ado, here’s the track listing:

1. Steeple
2. We Knew Him Well
3.  Hogshead/Dogshead
4. Conjure
5. Sufferer’s Years
6. Bacchanalia

Oh yeah, here’s the cover art:
