Several years before the NOLA all stars of southern metal, DOWN came out with their debut, Pepper Keenan was busy making a name for himself in Corrosion of Conformity. In 1991, COC released their LP "Blind" featuring a new line up, and a young Keenan on rhythm guitar. The change in line up and musical direction paved the road to mainstream audiences intrigued by the combination of southern doom and metal. The band's first music video for "Vote with a Bullet" features vocalist Karl Agell before Keenan took over the front-man role on 1993's "Deliverance" LP.
