Not much info, but just the mere mention of this gets me fuckin' stoked. \m/

Down- "can we call it the purple EP?"
Baroness- NO!"
Down- *punches Baroness in stomach*

Looks like an 'ode to Black Sabbath' cover.

Fuck sakes, do they really have to break it into 4 parts? I'll be super pissed if they dont release it in some kind of boxset so I don't have to buy them separately.

Just gave a tru , good one, cant say much typical Down music

I'm just about stoned out of my mind right now, gave this a listen and had multiple eargasms. It's a damn good EP.
The cover is however, very questionable. Also I'm not sure as to why they're releasing four EP's with spread out due dates rather than release one full length album.....

Anyway, good release.

That's the whole point of the EP idea, so you'd have to buy all 4 of them separately.

Yeah. I'm probably going to be a sucker and buy them all anyways.

It isn't necessary to buy all of them. Eh?

Save some dough for your kids too.

Because it's financially cheaper to record and release a short EP, do a little touring, then record another instead of working on one full-length. At least thats what Kirk said in a video some months ago.

The EP is half good half average, but the vocals at some times sound too... painful? Anselmo's voice lost most of its energy.

A decent EP, and a nice kickstart to the "IV" set, but I feel like the band here are just taking a step back sometimes. It's like half of the album is very impressive, and the other half is more or less average Down. That said, "Levitation" and closer "Misfortune Teller" are really well played out. Anselmo's vocal delivery for me is starting to show its weakness, particularly on "Witchtripper" and "The Curse is a lie".
