Phil Anselmo (Down, Pantera) is currently working on his first solo album. In a recent interview, Anselmo talked about his upcoming solo project where he did not just write all of the songs, but also produced them in his studio Housecore Records. Anselmo states that the most probable time of release is at the end of this year. He also calls his debut solo effort "one of the most intense things I've done, ever". Musicians that helped him with the album are Marzi Montazeri on guitar, with whom Anselmo played in Superjoint Ritual, on drums Jose Manuel Gonzales of Warbeast and on bass Bennett Bartley.

Anselmo's primary band Down is also preparing to release a series of four EPs. For the first Down EP, Anselmo said the songs and recordings are finished and now they're waiting on it to be mastered.
