PHILIP ANSELMO Discusses Boxing, Running HOUSECORE And Living In New Orelans (Video) - Nov. 18, 2012
In the latest installment of "Converse x Decibel," former PANTERA and current DOWN frontman Philip Anselmo discusses boxing, running Housecore Records and living in New Orleans. Check it out below.

Anselmo and Housecore Records thrashers WARBEAST recently announced that they will release a new split album entitled "War Of The Gargantuas". The split has an official release date of January 8, 2013 and will include two songs from each artist. This album serves as the first release of any solo work by Anselmo during the span of his nearly 30-year legacy.

Anselmo's full-length solo debut, "Walk Through Exits Only", will be released in early 2013 via Housecore. He previously stated about the music on the CD, "It's really not my place to say it's death metal or it's extreme thrash or black metal, I'm not gonna put it in a category. It is extreme, though, in its own right. Anything that was completely traditional, I would stop it and fuck with it a little, make sure it wasn't so paint-by-numbers, because that's the last thing I wanna do, and as a matter of fact, I believe that's what people will be expecting." He continued, "If you enjoyed stuff in the past, then I think you 'll really enjoy the fucking solo record and people who still to this day [say], 'Ah I wish Phil would sing more. He's got such a pretty voice when he sings' then its gonna be a gigantic fucking letdown. [laughs]"

Phil's got so much personality and that shows in all of his lyrics and music, actually everyone in Pantera had huge personalities and that's what made in such an special and huge success.

If Phil would have never got hooked on smack, he would have been the king of metal vocals. He still had it in him until he fell to killing the vein. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Phil/Down fan, love the new ep, just sucks that he took the path he did.

How shortsighted some of your comments are. Some people are so stuck on Phil Using Heroin. Get over it. How many countless other Musicians Have succumbed to addictions. If you only knew the half of how many touring musicians are on some kind of dope. Or just complete addicts. Be more appreciative of what musicians go through in order to bring you music. So you can sit here & make stupid comments about their personal lives & struggles.

'Be more appreciative of what musicians go through in order to bring you music' - drugs aren't a requirement to playing an instrument dickhead. They make their choices and a lot of them wind up regretting taking drugs as one of them.

Watching that video is inspiring considering all the shit he's been through. I know Phil will always be attributed as an asshole and junkie, but he's definitely come a long way from that.

Great comment above by OAKLANDSCUM. A person should be a fan or not interested but this inbetween of judging their every movement is disturbing. Why would a person desire others to have issues?

Replying to comments has never worked for me even with a different browser.

Pathetic how some people bash Phil for his addictions, yet think others are cool for theirs, or even insist on some taking their drug habits back up.

That's right, it was the drugs that helped Mustaine make those classics. Not the youthful rage (he was young and *highly* pissed), not the creativity (name me one other thrash trailblazer that was tight in both lead and rhythm playing AND songwriting), not the intelligence (despite what you think of his past few years/decades, the man was an extremely interested read in interviews back in the day), nor was it his natural talent and instincts that took Megadeth to great heights.

Yet it's cool that Lemmy drinks a gallon of Jack every day.
Yet it's cool that Hendrix went through tabs of acid like myself through a box of Oreos.
But somehow it's NOT cool that Phil got mixed up in it.

And why is Blabbermouth residing in the stone ages, keeping IE as the only browser that will allow comments? Get with the '10s folks. And whip up a mobile app already. (Your advertisers will thank you for it, assuming they'll stick with you until then.) You guys are WAY behind and are going to get left in the dust if you don't step it up some. Just because you were among the first great metal news sites doesn't mean you'll always be.

Good stuff Phil! I know the media and some fans find pieces like this boring and would rather see drama and controversy, but I loved it! I'm hungry for more. Speak the truth about me. Determined!!!!
