Down - Ghost

Review by Blake Ayers

Down's album Ghost is a haunting and powerful release that showcases the band's ability to create heavy, emotionally charged music. From the opening track "Levitation" to the closing notes of "Nothing In Return (Walk Away)," the album takes the listener on a journey through dark and brooding landscapes.

Phil Anselmo's vocals are as raw and intense as ever, and the rest of the band (Pepper Keenan, Jimmy Bower, Pat Bruders, and Bobby Landgraf) provide a solid foundation for his performance. The guitar work is particularly impressive, with Keenan and Landgraf trading riffs and solos that are both intricate and heavy.

Highlights of the album include the crushing "We Knew Him Well," the bluesy "Conjure," and the epic "Ghosts Along The Mississippi," which clocks in at over ten minutes and features some of the album's most impressive guitar work.

Summary by Blake Ayers

Ghost is a must-hear for fans of heavy music. It's a dark and powerful album that showcases the talents of one of metal's most legendary bands.
