Okay., so let's get this straight. Five guys originally from New Orleans, in four different bands, got together many moons ago and started a little side project called "Down". Seemed innocent enough, just a couple of freaks who were into bands which were into Sabbath - before it was cool to be into Sabbath. We would jam and blow our heads off in this little garage ...then something started to happen. We weren't just blowing off steam and "Sabb-ing out"; we were coming up with some serious shit. We knew we were onto something.

So now, six years later, this "Down" swamp creature we created will not kick the ol' bucket. It seems to have taken on a life of its own, purely supported by freaks who kept listening to it and asking for it. It spread like some kind of yellow fever to basically become a staple heavy metal record. The damn thing sold close to half a million copies worldwide -- not bad for a band than only played thirteen (yes, 13) shows, and can't even remember the color of our tour bus.

So here we go, round II. We came up with a genius (?) idea to isolate ourselves in a barn (later to be christened "Nodferatu's Lair") in an undisclosed swamp somewhere in South Louisiana. Slept upstairs and rocked downstairs. Shipped in enough gear to get our point across (loudly), and got two Yankees with their heads half screwed on (half more than ours) to turn the knobs. With enough booze, food, and "miscellaneous" items for no one to crawl out until it was done. Which was going to be in twenty-something daze. All this combined with an old chest we found full of freaky 70's porno mags - we had basically created a modern-day Sodom. Five freaks, all well-versed in the school of hard rock, banging heads at 120 decibels, surrounded by sin, swamps, and mosquitos, with modern-day society a tank of gas away. This is the way rock records should be made.

One of the coolest things about Down is the fact that we don't have any preconceived notions about what is to come. When Down is in the "Lair," candles lit, ice chest packed, puffin' and passing, all fired up, we got no clue what's going to happen, which is a beautiful THING. This freedom allows us to write anything from mellow shit like "Where I'm Going", to slammers like "The Seed." Where ever our heads are at, good or bad, up or down. This is what makes Down tick.

Don't get me wrong - this was no cake walk. But in my opinion, the good ones never are.
