The aptly titled EP ONE is the first in a series of four EP's planned for release, and marks the band's first studio release since 2007's Down III: OVER THE UNDER. Hailing from New Orleans, Down features Philip Anselmo, Pepper Keenan, Kirk Wildstein and Jimmy Bowery. Down's ground breaking music combines elements of Black Sabbath, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and everything in between, setting them apart from anything in the market today. Review: Sludge blues and the lyrics. - The sludge blues sound is perfected on this record for the second time in down's career. What im saying is that they were one thing when they perfected it with NOLA but now they're something different. a slight reinvention. So the bass is great, sad to see Rex gone but replacement Pat Bruders might be even bigger shoes to fill if he ever leaves. Maybe. What I really enjoy on this new EP is the lyrics. Phil is on another level. A new level, if you will. Every riff on this slab is fantastic and oozing with blue sludge. Blue sludge to represent blues and sludge metal. hahaha anyway, I just think if youre a Down fan you wont regret buying this. It's killer. Review: A slab of awesomeness! - I actually knew right away I was going to like this short record upon first listen. I was drawn in by the thick Sabbathy sound. Now that I have listened a few more times I am loving it. Sludgy, heavy, and really good writing. I can't stop listening and that doesn't happen to me that often these days. This album really does kick. And to think, we have 3 more EP's on the way. ## Images ![Down IV Part I: The Purple EP - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/912IyqZPBtL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sludge blues and the lyrics. *by A***. on September 25, 2012* The sludge blues sound is perfected on this record for the second time in down's career.

I was drawn in by the thick Sabbathy sound. Now that I have listened a few more times I am loving it. Sludgy, heavy, and really good writing.

And to think, we have 3 more EP's on the way. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some more stoner heaven *by S***T on May 26, 2014* A speedy pace to the album, Steeple gallops evenly until it breaks down into massive riffs narrowly eclipsed by a mildly restrained Anselmo. The mixing on Steeple, fantastic, establishing the suffocating heavy bricks on your chest sound Down has perfected. We Knew Him Well is busy, motivated, and passionate. This is the agitated part of the ride, Anselmo belting out painfully, with his band mates aggressively pounding a power track stained with heavy blues and agony. A black and white video of the Louisiana-based quintet for We Knew Him Well shows the rockers crowded in a small space, almost on top of each other, which incidentally matches the sound of this track. Dogshead is thick molasses, not sweet, boots stuck in mud wretchedness, led by killer bass. Conjure follows, a trippy mind-blower, so modern day Black Sabbath, so Cajun Down, two unique spices from the same family; I can’t get enough of this haunting metal spiritual. Gentle and rolling in transitions, Down IV Part 2, is more Appalachian than Rock Mountains, still traversing ruggedly, but not as sharp and radical from song to song as Down II, Bustle in Your Hedgerow, or as diverse as the beloved NOLA. Impossible to please the masses, some fans have wished for more Stone The Crow and complained that the new stuff is too experimental. To each his own, but you may want to clean out your one-hitter if you claim Down to be experimental. Sufferer’s Dears surges with a nasty delivery and curse-laden lyrics, authentic and real. Ending in style, Bacchanalia comes in silently and leaves with an unexpected Jar of Flies (AIC) instrumental fashion. The final minute of Part 2, extraordinary, a flavor unseen to this point, it deserves special attention and notice, as it carries a tune that is solidly more of the same concrete mix. If you are new to Down, I believe there lays a best practice when listening to them. More than any band I dig, Down is an extended feeling and their form of art is reduced when one takes the whole, breaks it apart, and judges it piece by piece(like I must do by necessity here). Down is a throwback, put the needle on the black circle, and let it spin band. Pun fully intended, the Down experience becomes disjointed any other way than to surround yourself in their cloud of smoke and let the stillness settle in. From that stoner perspective, Down IV, Part 2, isn’t markedly different than any earlier blends, and I couldn’t be happier about it. Oddly, in Down, I’m not looking for new direction or musical innovativeness, I simply want to feel their groove, be in their space, and Down IV, Part 2, is another got-the-goods, light it up, puff and pass musical trip. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/771907-down-iv-part-i-the-purple-ep](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/771907-down-iv-part-i-the-purple-ep) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
