On Friday (Jan. 3), Bower posted a photo of Windstein and Keenan in the studio, writing, “Kirk and Pep making magic today.”
Back in November, Windstein stated on a podcast That Metal Interview (according to Blabbermouth), “I’ve been in the Down world for the last few months, writing and finishing songs for an album to be released in 2025. We’ve got 10 new songs, folks. It’s great.”
