Pantera’s Anselmo takes latest project on tour
As if fronting both Pantera and Down wasn’t keeping him busy enough, Philip Anselmo is heading out for a tour behind the debut release from his latest outfit, Superjoint Ritual.
As if fronting both Pantera and Down wasn’t keeping him busy enough, Philip Anselmo is heading out for a tour behind the debut release from his latest outfit, Superjoint Ritual.
The metal quintet also features guitarist Jimmy Bower, drummer Joe Fazzio, touring guitarist Kevin Bond and a touring bassist who goes by the name “III.”
Anselmo, who handles only vocals with Pantera and Down, also picks up a guitar with Superjoint Ritual, while Bower--who is the drummer for Corrosion of Conformity, Down and EyeHateGod--is Superjoint Ritual’s primary guitarist.
“Use Once and Destroy,” Superjoint Ritual’s debut album, hits stores on May 21. The group recently filmed at Anselmo’s New Orleans home music videos for the album’s tracks “F**k Your Enemy” and “The Alcholik.”
Superjoint Ritual’s June outing is tucked between the end of Down’s May headlining club tour and the start of its run atop Ozzfest‘s second-stage roster.
