A few weeks ago, the new Noisey series NOLA: Life, Death, & Heavy Blues from the Bayou was presented. Now you can watch the first 15-minute episode of the a seven-part series examining the people and the culture that helped foster bands like Down, Eyehategod, Crowbar, Goatwhore and many others. The series starts off with Phil Anselmo talking about his experience in Pantera and many other bands. Check out the first episode below and tell us if you enjoyed it.




What you can expect from this episode: "New Orleans native Phil Anselmo exports his style to Dallas band Pantera, thereby changing the landscape for metal in the 90s. Meanwhile, a visit from the Melvins to the New Orleans area would change the landscape for metal as we know it, with Kirk Windstein of the band Shell Shock was discovering that slower was, for him, heavier."

"Starring: Members of Down, Pantera, Eyehategod, Crowbar, Corrosion Of Conformity, Goatwhore, and Acid Bath amongst others, including Philip H Anselmo, Mike "IX" Williams, Jimmy Bower, Kirk Windstein, Pepper Keenan, and Sammy Duet."
