After a successful inaugural run in 2013, Philip Anselmo is bringing back his Housecore Horror Film & Metal Festival in 2014. The event will once again take place in Austin, Texas, running Oct. 23-26.

We already knew that Philip Anselmo had finished his vocals for Down's next EP. Now, it been revealed that the entire EP is complete. In a recent photo posted on their Facebook page, there's a big pile of empty beer cases with the caption "EP Two is done!!! And there was much rejoicing!"

Good news, Down fans! The band is making significant progress on their next EP. In fact, frontman Philip Anselmo recently confirmed to CobraMetal.net that he's completed recording vocals for the effort, which is the follow-up to 2012's 'Down IV Part I – The Purple EP.'

Phil Anselmo's Housecore Horror Film Festival is upon us! The Austin, Texas, music and horror film festival will open its doors on Oct. 24 and will not relent until Oct. 27. The fest is truly unique in its personality, and during Phil Anselmo's recent visit to our studios, the man behind the idea revealed everything we should look forward to from the fest.

Kirk Windstein, who has been a member of Down, Crowbar and Kingdom of Sorrow, has apparently stepped away from Down to focus on Crowbar. He's the vocalist and also plays guitar for Crowbar, whose last album was 2011's 'Sever the Wicked Hand.'

The day has come! 'Walk Through Exits Only,' Philip H. Anselmo's highly anticipated solo debut with his backing band, the Illegals, is now available for streaming in full. Anselmo has also just released a pair of videos talking about his upcoming tour, along with instructions on how to conduct oneself while attending a Philip H. Anselmo & the Illegals concert.

We here at Planet Radio are your concert authority and we want to send you to see Down, in their hometown of New Orleans, along with Honky and Mount Carmel at the House of Blues in the French Quarter on Friday, May 31st!

Phil Anselmo is a metal legend. Of course he fronted Pantera, Down (be listening to win tix to their HOB show May 22), and Superjoint Ritual...now he's ready to venture out on kind of solo career. Philip H. Anselmo and the Illegals have released their first single titled, 'Usurper's Bastard Rant'. Keep reading to see what Phil had to say, and listen to the song.

It's Record Store Day today (April 20) and music fans around the world are heading to their local independent shops to support the longtime standard of how to purchase music. Making the experience even more of an event is the amount of bands and labels responsible for issuing unique vinyl releases and other specialty items tied to the day. One rocker enthused that there is such a thing as Record S

2013 is not even two months old yet, but Down got the year off to a great start while joining labelmates Warbeast for a pummeling January excursion. Now the veteran metal collective will pack up their gear once again this spring for a week-long trek through the Southeastern United States, concluding with a hometown show in New Orleans.

Things are going great for Phil Anselmo at the moment, as he is touring with his band Down, heading up his Housecore Records label and preparing for his first solo album. But there was a time not long ago where the quantity and quality of the work he's currently doing would likely not have been possible.

As one of metal's most aggressive vocalists in history, it's no surprise to learn that Pantera / Down vocalist Philip Anselmo is a huge fan of boxing. Surely tracks such as 'F---ing Hostile' and 'Mouth for War' have inspired many fists to bust through walls, along with faces, so Boxing Insider welcomed Anselmo for an exclusive interview, but here's the catch: Philip Anselmo was brought in to condu

Down recently visited Loudwire's offices when they were on tour in New York City. The entire group swarmed on our little studio room to talk about their four-part series of 'Down IV' EPs, all the while anointing themselves the most handsome band in the history of handsome while knocking back a few beers.

Down frontman and metal icon Philip Anselmo issued a video update while smack dab in the middle of Hurricane Isaac in Louisiana. Anselmo initially issued the clip a few days ago, but the audio quality was poor and indiscernible. It has since been republished with better audio quality. Of course, Anselmo’s description of the storm was peppered with eff bombs, but he provided a first-person perspec

Former Pantera singer Philip Anselmo has certainly lived a colorful life, and now it looks as though readers will get a chance to thumb through the details of his music, his friendships, and his addictions in all their glory as the vocalist just inked a book deal for his autobiography.

Philip Anselmo is gearing up for the release of Down‘s upcoming ‘Down IV Part I – The Purple EP‘ on Sept. 18, and he insists that none of the members of the NOLA sludge band put any pressure on themselves regarding the release. He also shared that while the Pantera vaults have been emptied as a result of the 20th anniversary reissues of ‘Cowboys From Hell’ and ‘Vulgar Display of Power,’ he did rev

We recently reported that Down offered a stream of their new track ‘Witchtripper.’ Now, the band has revealed the actual title and album art for their upcoming EP.

The long-awaited beginning of Down‘s upcoming four-part series of EPs has finally been given a name and a release date. The six-track EP, which will be called ‘EP One,’ is set for a Sept. 18 release.

Former Pantera and current Down frontman Philip Anselmo doesn’t expect to release his solo debut album until next year, but he’s getting a jump on things by delivering a pair of still-to-be-determined songs to be used as part of split release offerings with the band Warbeast.

The ‘Metal Masters’ clinics have been a big success, and earlier this year they branched out to Los Angeles with a performance at the Key Club featuring Down‘s Philip Anselmo, Slayer‘s Kerry King and Dave Lombardo, and Anthrax‘s Charlie Benante and Frank Bello along with Adrenaline Mob’s Mike Portnoy, Megadeth’s David Ellefson and Chris Broderick and Black Sabbath’s Geezer Butler turning up to len
