Last month, Nuclear Blast Records announced the release of a remastered edition of “Over the Under”. Initially issued in the Fall of 2007, Down’s third studio album was produced by Warren Riker and served as a true moment in time delivering over 60 heartfelt minutes of sonic frustration with songs addressing the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and personal turmoil.
The 2026 edition of “Over the Under” features remastered audio by Eric Koondel (Soilwork, Cynic, Malevolent Creation, Death) and marks the first time the LP will be officially available in the US market. Additionally, the CD and digital versions include bonus track “Invest in Fear” (the first time the track will be available on a US physical release and on Digital Service Providers worldwide).
“Over the Under” remaster will be available on CD, LP, and digital formats on June 19th. Find preorders here.
