Metal supergroup Down – featuring vocalist Philip H. Anselmo, guitarists Pepper Keenan and Kirk Windstein, drummer Jimmy Bower, and bassist Pat Bruders – have teased a new album for the last few years and we are finally starting to see some movement on that project.

Having signed to Nuclear Blast earlier this year, The Louisiana-based stone/sludge metal outfit have begun tracking guitars this week. Guitarist Kirk Windstein shared a quick update from the studio, where he has started to track guitars at OCD Recording and Production in Harahan, LA.

The new album is scheduled for a 2026 release. 

Windstein shared the following:
