As we saw with bands such as Mötley Crüe, Rage Against the Machine, Vio-lence, Mr.Bungle, Possessed, Exhorder, and many more that have disbanded/went on a hiatus and returned, there’s always a chance for a group to reform. They can also reappear for a quick reunion just to disappear again and sometimes come back once more, […]

Even if Philip H. Anselmo’s legacy began and ended with Pantera, he would have been one of the most noteworthy metal vocalists of the last quarter century. However, that was the tip of the musical iceberg for him. With subsequent bands Down and Superjoint Ritual, he proved himself to be a workhorse, and since […]

It’s been 13 years and several public scandals, since Phil Anselmo released any music under the Superjoint Ritual moniker. Members Joe Fazzio, Michael Haaga, and Hank Williams III did not return for the band’s reunion in 2014, and neither did “Ritual.” Simply called Superjoint, version 2.0 of the band found drummer Joe Gonzalez (from Philip H. Anselmo & the Illegals) and Stephen […]

In a since deleted Tweet from a few days ago, it appears that Prong’s Tommy Victor may have revealed Ghost’s Papa Emeritus III. Along with a slew of other notable metal characters (Phil Anselmo, Glenn Danzig, Sean Yseult), it appears that Papa is present and without make-up. Ghost played The Civic Auditorium in New Orleans on October […]

During a Q & A session conducted at the Spooky Empire 2015 in Orlando, FL this past weekend, multi-band frontman Philip Anselmo discussed many topics, including new Superjoint Ritual, new Philip Anselmo and the Illegals, and even new music for a “secret death metal project with some secret other guys from across the equator…” which he added “It’s […]

Philip Anselmo has been keeping himself plenty busy in recent years. If he’s not running his label, producing King Parrot, touring with Down, or releasing solo albums, he’s presenting the Housecore Horror Film Festival. It was at last year’s festival that his old band Superjoint Ritual got together for a reunion show, performing simply as […]

With Halloween fast approaching, that means so is the Housecore Horror Film Festival in Austin, TX. Put on by former Pantera/current Down and Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals front man Philip Anselmo and best-selling true crime author Corey Mitchell, bands on the bill include Decapitated, EYEHATEGOD, Napalm Death, Voivod, and more. Also scheduled to […]

Last year’s inaugural Housecore Horror Film Fest was enough of a success that they’re doing it again. And if the first performance of Eyehategod since the death of longtime drummer Joey LaCaze at least year’s festival was a once in a lifetime event, then the festival has upped the ante this year. Philip Anselmo’s band […]

Looks like it’s time to either make some space on your bookshelf or buy a bookshelf, as some required reading for metal fans looks like it’s coming in the next year or so. We’ve known for some time that Pantera/Down/Superjoint Ritual/Arson Anthem frontman Philip Anselmo was writing a book along with Metal Sucks contributor Corey […]

As the voice of Pantera, Down, Superjoint Ritual and Arson Anthem, Philip H. Anselmo needs no introduction. Yet somehow it’s taken him 45 years to come out with a solo project that bears his name. Walk Through Exits Only, under the name of Philip H. Anselmo and the Illegals, was released today (16), and it’s as […]
