Bassist Rex Brown -- who, like Down frontman Philip Anselmo, hails from Pantera -- tells Billboard.com that the group "is all our priorities now," with plans for a full spate of touring in 2009 and to record a fourth album shortly after that.
Down is currently on the road mixing opening dates with Metallica and its own headlining shows, and the new year will bring more North American concerts, a tour of South America and European festival dates. - more from Rex
