DOWN - Pepper Keenan Explains New Song 'Witchtripper'
January 19, 2012, 12 years ago
DOWN guitarist Pepper Keenan shares his thoughts on his band's new song 'Witchtripper':
"We were down in Spain, in this little village, and I noticed that every house had these stones on the corner of the roof. And everywhere I looked, there were images of witches in people's windows. Of course, Phil (Anselmo, vocalist) and I being like we are, we started envisioning what these stones were. We figured they were probably witchtrippers — you got witches on the roof, and they trip her up when she's coming down. We had to have the correct song to match the coolness of the word. When I had the riff, I knew it was one that would be 'Witchtripper'."
'Witchtripper' will appear on Down's forthcoming, as yet untitled EP, due later this year. It will feature the following six songs in no particular order:
'Levitation'
'Witchtripper'
'The Misfortune Teller'
'The Curse Is A Lie'
'Open Coffins'
'This Work Is Timeless'
