The band's current lineup consists of vocalist Phil Anselmo, guitarist Pepper Keenan, guitarist Kirk Windstein, bassist Pat Bruders and drummer Jimmy Bower.

Phil Anselmo formed Down in 1991

Down formed in 1991 with vocalist / songwriter Phil Anselmo of Pantera, guitarist Pepper Keenan of Corrosion of Conformity, second guitarist Kirk Windstein and bassist Todd Strange of Crowbar, and drummer Jimmy Bower of Eyehategod.

On July 24, 2008, frontman Phil Anselmo mentioned in a post on the band's Myspace blog that Down had been " fucking around with some new material " and had " enough material already recorded "-- at least six new songs in addition to those that did not make the final cut on Over the Under.

Musicians such as singer Phil Anselmo and drummer Gene Hoglan cite Hell Awaits as an influence.

The singer Phil Anselmo — known for his work with Pantera, Down, and Superjoint Ritual — explained in an interview with D. X. Ferris, the author of the book about the album Reign in Blood, that " Hell Awaits just holds the entire thing.

In 2005, the remaining members reunited for a benefit concert for victims of the December 26, 2004 tsunami, with several vocalists filling in for Staley, including Patrick Lachman from Damageplan, Phil Anselmo of Pantera and Down fame, Wes Scantlin from Puddle of Mudd, Maynard James Keenan from Tool ( a friend of Staley's ), and Ann Wilson from Heart, who had previously worked with Alice in Chains when she sang on the Sap EP ( performing backing vocals on the songs " Brother " and " Am I Inside ").

Early theories of motive suggested that Gale might have turned to violence in response to the breakup of Pantera, or the public dispute between Abbott and Pantera singer Phil Anselmo, but these were later ruled out by investigators.

Phil Anselmo performed with AIC as a special guest singer.

Beginning in 2005, Cantrell has joined Alice in Chains in a number of performances featuring singers such as Maynard James Keenan, Mark Lanegan, James Hetfield, Phil Anselmo, Billy Corgan, Patrick Lachman, Scott Weiland, and William DuVall.
