Phil Anselmo forged his reputation as an elite metal screamer as the figurehead
of Pantera from 1987 to 2003. Fond of side projects, Phil Anselmo created Down,
which has had a real career since 1991. His many short-lived band participations
also include Superjoint Ritual, Arson Anthem and Christ Inversion. In 2011 and
