This Friday marks the official release of the remastered edition of »Over The Under«, the third studio album from American heavy metal supergroup, Down!
Initially issued in the Fall of 2007, Down’s third studio album was produced by Warren Riker and served as a true moment in time delivering over 60 heartfelt minutes of sonic frustration with songs addressing the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and personal turmoil.
The 2026 edition of »Over The Under« features remastered audio by Eric Koondel (Soilwork, Cynic, Malevolent Creation, Death) and marks the first time the LP will be officially available in the US market. Additionally, the CD and digital versions include bonus track »Invest In Fear« (the first time the track will be available on a US physical release and on digital service providers worldwide).
Down’s »Over The Under« remaster is available now on Nuclear Blast on CD, LP, and digital formats. Find orders HERE.
Additionally, Down’s special cover of Dr. John’s »Right Place, Wrong Time«, originally released in video form to celebrate Mardi Gras earlier this year, is currently available on all streaming platforms!

New Orleans native Dr. John was an American singer, songwriter, and pianist. His music combined New Orleans blues, jazz, R&B, soul, and funk. »Right Place, Wrong Time« was the first single from Dr. John’s 1973 album, »In The Right Place«, and became the most popular single of his career. Down’s cover of »Right Place, Wrong Time« is an homage to Dr. John and his appearances on The Midnight Special TV series, a late-night musical variety show that aired from 1972 to 1981.

You know it’s Down as soon as you hear them. Featuring vocalist Philip H. Anselmo, guitarists Pepper Keenan and Kirk Windstein, drummer Jimmy Bower, and bassist Pat Bruders, there’s no mistaking those gargantuan riffs, swamp blues leads, crashing drums, and hypnotic howls for absolutely anybody else under the sun. The band upholds a certain tradition that countless fans celebrate, expanding their own musical mythos as they leave its pillars intact and untouched.
With a collective resume encompassing Pantera, Corrosion Of Conformity, Crowbar, and EyeHateGod, the quintet puffed out its first haze of sonic smoke from the belly of gritty old New Orleans on the 1995 platinum-selling classic, »NOLA«. At that moment, they naturally summoned something akin to a ritual, continually partaking in it with critically revered offerings – »Down II: A Bustle In Your Hedgerow« in 2002, »Down III: Over The Under« in 2007, »Down IV – Part One« in 2012, and »Down IV – Part Two« in 2014. Their shows built a certain live lore with unforgettable runs alongside Metallica and Heaven & Hell, as well as coveted spots on iconic festivals like Download, Soundwave, Ozzfest, and so many others, forever delivering passionate, powerful, pure heavy music you can feel deep down in your soul.
Stand by for updates on new Down music in the months to come.
