Down guitarist Pepper Keenan believes the band still has a future following the controversial racist actions of frontman Philip Anselmo earlier this year.
Amidst the racism controversy surrounding Philip Anselmo, he does not think he should play European festivals and his band Down has pulled out of Hellfest.
Hellfest has responded to government pressure to remove Down from the festival’s 2016 bill because of Philip Anselmo’s controversial Dimebash 2016 actions.
Longtime Down guitarist Pepper Keenan has weighed in on the controversy surrounding Philip Anselmo's racist actions and another Down show has been canceled.
The decision comes after Down / Pantera vocalist Philip Anselmo caused a stir after screaming 'White power' and throwing up a Nazi salute at Dimebash 2016.
Corrosion of Conformity and Down member Pepper Keenan chatted with Loudwire recently about plans for new material with both bands, as well as the 2015 Motorboat Cruise.
