Originally founded as a Pantera side-project, Down is now a clear triumph in their own right. Their latest, Down III: Over the Under, was generally received positively by the music press — namely, Metal Hammer, Kerrang, and Rolling Stone. Pure, unbridled emotion races through the music, and ex-Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo’s voice bears the scars from his own blues and trouble. $25, 7pm, Sunset Station, 1174 E. Commerce, ticketmaster.com.
