Product description CD: Down,II .co.uk Down, a "supergroup" made up of members of Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity and Crowbar, have dug down to their swamp roots (all but one are New Orleans natives) and unearthed a heavy metal monster on their second album, Down II: A Bustle in Your Hedgerow. Sounding like a southern-fried Sabbath, this is metal in the old-school sense, as played by sweaty men with beards: menacing and scary, with huge riffs, a killer bottom-end, driving drums and loads of religious and occult imagery in rocking songs like "The Man That Follows Hell", "The Seed" and "New Orleans is a Dying Whore". They may not be the future of metal, but Down II is a heavy, headbanging trip to the past that's well worth a visit. With non-threatening nu-metal whelps whipping up a frenzy in the charts, it's good to hear that there's still some life left in the old guard. --Robert Burrow
