When asked about when fans can expect to hear new music from DOWN, Windstein replied, "We finally [started] jamming [new material] at Phil's [Anselmo, vocals] and we're putting out four six-song EPs. We've got the first one written and it's all hard-hitting songs; we don't have any acoustic [stuff on it]. We don't know yet what we're gonna do, but we figure with the state of music today, as far as retail [goes] and people not really buying [music]; number one, the EP will be cheaper; number two, we can get it out quicker and then we can keep putting out the [product]. We literally can put out an EP the first of the year and then have another one come out the fall of next year and give [the fans] music a lot sooner than what we've given them in the past, 'cause it always takes fucking years. So we really think it's a good idea. Pepper [Keenan, guitar] usually does all our artwork and the four cover designs are all gonna work together in some kind of thing."
