Down brought together Phil Anselmo from Pantera with members of Corrosion of Conformity, Crowbar, and Eyehategod.
Formed in the early 90s, their debut album NOLA dropped in 1995 and went Gold in the U.S.—huge for a sludge metal release.
While never fully mainstream, the band built a loyal cult following and became one of the most respected supergroups in heavy music.
