In a new interview with The Heavy Metal Sitdown, DOWN guitarist Kirk Windstein offered an update on the progress of the recording sessions for the band’s long-awaited new album. He said:  ”We’re totally in the — I would say past the middle point of even recording it. We’re churning along pretty good. We have to take a break right now due to touring stuff with our other projects. But the drums are all done. Pepper (Keenan, DOWN guitarist) and I did the rhythm tracks. The bass is done. I’m not sure if Phil (Anselmo, DOWN frontman) started singing yet or not. That’s kind of on his time. But we’re really gonna kind of try to dive back into completing the record in the month of November, kind of between early November to maybe Thanksgiving, just finish up everything that we have to do on guitars and bass. And the rest is up to Phil. And then we’ll get into the mixing process.”
