After the tragedy of the Hurricane in which the members were displaced and separated for many months, the band reconvened. It was obvious at the onset that this was no longer a side project. With everyone having honored their previous commitments with other bands, the New Orleans natives were focused on DOWN and DOWN alone, having found new life and a new bond through the common tragedies they all endured separately and collectively culminating in their most definitive record of their career.

To chronicle the past five years leading up to the release of DOWN III-OVER THE UNDER, Philip Anselmo will be placing periodic installments to be released over the course of the next month on the band's websites leading up to the release of the record. This is Philip's personal communication to the band's loyal fan base and gives a 1st hand account the tragedy, isolation, rebirth and ultimate triumph of one of the most important band's of our time. The 1st installment appears on August 17th on www.down-nola.com and - www.myspace.com/downnola
