Get ready to rock…

Down is a “super group” of sorts with members from both Pantera and Corrosion of Conformity among others. They are truly southern, wear it on their sleeves and take pride in their city of NOLA. What better sound to rise from the floods of Katrina than this song. It’s a tribute and a cry in anger all in one pounding track. It is what we feel on the inside when we see the footage of the Superdome in the moments and weeks following the great hurricane, and the pride we all felt when the football team that calls that place home whooped up on the Atalanta Falcons - even though we get a sense that even the Patriots team of today would not have been able to handle them that night. This is a song about a resurrection of an earthly kind. If you don’t like bleeding your rage a little bit, and if you don’t like something a little heavier, then stay away from this song. But you can’t not like it if you have a soul.

Be something that amounts to nothing the threat
A wrecking-ball plowing through our karma
We have no confident voice in our ears for tonight
Exist in memory only headline…

We have been through change
By the season of the storms
It’s irony
The cleansing
Accept eccentric faith
To need religion
To sit high among the elect
On march the saints…

There’s no such thing as a good time for bad luck
As minutes turn to distressed fragmented moments
Reading lips unable to hear the talk
Partake no tangible out in tomorrow…

We have seen the change
From the season of the storms
It’s irony
The cleansing
With all our lives at stake
From at rest to the present
Are sitting high among the elect
On march the saints…

March…

We have been through change
By the season of the storms
It’s irony
The cleansing
Accept eccentric faith
To need religion
To sit high among the elect
On march the saints…
