NEW YORK, NY October 3, 2012-Iconic metal collective DOWN debuted at #1 on the Hard Music Album Chart and #1 on Metal Radio with their long-awaited EP, Down IV-Part 1, released September 18 via Down Records/Independent Label Group. To keep the momentum, FUSE also recently debuted the video for the first single off the EP, "Witchtripper."  In case you missed it, PRESS HERE<http://www.fuse.tv/videos/2012/09/exclusive-watch-downs-frightening-video-for-witchtripper> to watch the video!

The video, shot in black and white and directed by Rio Hackford, who also directed the video for the band's "On March The Saints" off their previous record, Over The Under, depicts the tale of two religious-like men who fall under a spell from a group of witches. Pentagrams, chase scenes, curses, and even chicken feet are all visible throughout the video to balance ominous visuals of the band's front-man Phillip Anselmo.

"'Witchtripper' is everything fans would hope for from a band that includes former Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo (as well as members from Corrosion of Conformity [Pepper Keenan], Crowbar [Kirk Windstein, Pat Bruders] and Eyehategod [Jimmy Bower]: it's sludgy, aggressive and charmingly dark," FUSE recently stated.

After wrapping a U.S. tour in support of their EP last night in Charlotte, NC and a mind-blowing show at New York City's Best Buy Theatre last week, the band will continue their force on metal music by heading back into the studio for work on the second in the series of four EPs set for release.
