Metal legends Down premiere their new video for “Conjure”, a haunting and twisted ode to 70’s horror films directed by JM Stelly and Chris Trainor at Lab Productions. Stelly previously worked with Corrosion of Conformity and Suicide Girls, while Trainor has collaborated with GWAR, Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals, EYEHATEGOD, and is the producer of Housecore TV. The track is featured on Down’s latest EP ‘Down IV – Part Two,’ which is now available for $5.00 on AmazonMP3.
Down bassist Pat Bruders says, “We had a lot of fun working with Stelly and Trainor to make something we think is special. Hope everyone likes it!”
The band is also set to perform at Amnesia Rockfest in Montebello, QC in June. Tickets for the festival are available at www.amnesiarockfest.com/en/tickets.
‘Down IV – Part Two’ was released in May 2014 via Down Records/ADA and was the band’s highest charting release to-date (#1 on iTunes’ Rock Albums chart; #23 on Billboard’s Top 200). The EP was met with a slew of critical acclaim, such as Decibel who proclaimed, “From Phil Anselmo’s feral opening scream to his last spectral croon, Down doesn’t waste a hook or a minute of your time. Jimmy Bower’s beats are the perfect bar-brawling accomplices for the rowdy riffs conjured by Pepper Keenan and newcomer Bobby Landgraf, kicking the songs in the guts for extra giddy.” “We Knew Him Well” – the EP’s lead single – has also garnered praise, with Stereogum calling it “a titanic, bludgeoning deep-head-nod groove…it’s gloriously messy but locked-in in the way that only New Orleans metal bands can pull off.”
