Actually that is some damn good news to hear, I am looking forward to Down's new CD, didn't realize that it was coming out so soon. As for Dethklok, Thunderhorse is pretty fucking sweet, will probably pick that up for the hell of it.
The production is lacking if you ask me. Down has always had a raw sludge sound, but the lyrics sound squished between the guitars.
I think it's on par with their other cRAB though as far as content.
And phil does his best singing since the CFH era
