#296 DOWN III: OVER THE UNDER Album Review

“One’s a dude, right? I want the one that’s NOT the dude…”

 

DOWN III: OVER THE UNDER, the 3^rd studio offering from southern fried doom lords DOWN, has a very 70’s centric feel from start to finish. From the songs and the production to the album cover, OVER THE UNDER might just be the most 70’s influenced and 70’s sounding DOWN album ever recorded. 

 

Time to fire up the “bowrider” and begin preparations for “The Dockside Sessions” coming later this summer. Discover why knowing the difference between a succubus and an incubus is critical when it comes to certain forms of somnia, remember that if you’re learning guitar to always focus on your “fingering technique”, behold some outstanding metal from Australasia that’s very “throaty”, and just accept the fact that “I don’t know where they could have put it where I would have liked it” when you JOIN US as we take a trip through the heavier side of the 70’s with DOWN III: OVER THE UNDER.
