Phil Anselmo’s 10 Coolest Non-Pantera Projects
Down, Superjoint + beyond: how the hardest working beast in extreme music keeps going.
by Mike McPadden 9/19/2015
When you mention Philip Hansen Anselmo, most heavy music fans known him primarily, if not exclusively, as the vocalist of Pantera.
Alas, Anselmo’s time as the front-maniac of those metal titans is just the beginning of how New Orleans’ loudest and proudest son has impacted music—and so much more.
Cowboys From Hell: 25 Facts About the Pantera Classic
Phil Anselmo continually creates, shapes, promotes, and inspires extreme rock—along with films, art, festivals, and other media—in an ever-evolving variety of vehicles and guises. And all of Phil’s undertakings, rest assured, definitely fall under the classification of “extreme.”
In 2015, Anselmo’s Superjoint group embarked on their first tour in over a decade, and his annual Housecore Horror Festival is gearing up to once again soak Texas with sonic and cinematic boodle-letting. So now is a perfect time pay tribute to this tireless one-man metal mayhem factory with a salute to ten of his coolest, and heaviest, projects.
10 Metal Grasshopper
To simply listen to Phil Anselmo’s ferocious singing voice is to, understandably, perhaps miss out on how hilariously good-humored he also happens to be. One performer who picked up on that side of Phil is comedian Dave Hill. Together, they created Metal Grasshopper, a web series in which Anselmo schools Hill in the uproariously definable art of being, at all times, metal.
9 Boxing Insider
hil Anselmo’s vocals pummel listeners like an onslaught of prizefighter combination punches, and to watch him in performance is see clearly how the sweet science impacted Phil’s stage presence. Anselmo comes by this association way more than honestly: as a lifetime fight fan, Phil frequently speaks about the sport, and reguarly serves as a writer and correspondent for the industry’s bible, Boxing Insider.
8 Anton Crowley
Aleister Crowley aka “The Great Beast” was a world-changing British philosopher, occultist, multimedia artist, and champion mountain climber familiar to heavy metal fans through a multitude of venues, including Ozzy Osbourne’s “Mr. Crowley” and Jimmy Page taking up residence in the old sorcerer’s castle on Loch Ness.
Anton LaVey founded the Church of Satan in 1966 and three years later authored The Satanic Bible. Ever since then, both the book and/or some representation of LaVey’s chrome-domed, arched-eyebrowed visage have been as required fixtures in every budding headbanger’s bedroom alongside black-light posters, skull t-shirts, and Sabbath records coated with weed-rolling residue.
In creating a new high-concept persona, Phil Anselmo combined the two unholy icons as “Anton Crowley.” He’s used the name while playing guitar for death metal gore hounds Necrophagia, singing lo-fi black metal with Viking Crown, screaming in the name of Satan for Christ Inversion, and other undertakings as he so feels possessed by the Anton Crowley spirit.…

Today (June 24) a new interview with Philip was posted by Joey Cutler of Graffiti (www.grafwv.com) Here are some excerpts concerning Superjoint from that interview:
Graffiti: So, we learned that Superjoint is back and hitting the road. I mean, it’s obviously something that had been talked about on Facebook, but now the dates are set. What made you choose now to bring this thing back? I know that Superjoint played your Housecore Horror Festival.
Anselmo: Yeah I was kind of skeptical at first, when we were asked to do that. And believe it or not – rest in peace – it was [true-crime author and Housecore Horror Film Festival co-founder] Corey Mitchell’s idea. Oh man, bless that guy’s heart. I mean he pushed for it and pushed for it, and he got it. The truth is it was fun jammin’, it was a blast to do. You know, I consider myself a kind of free agent, I mean, I do all kinds of stuff. I know I sing in Down, but I’m really into a lot of different projects and this is just something to do because it’s fun, man.
Graffiti: So playing with Superjoint again is a good thing for you?
Anselmo: Oh yeah. I mean, those guys are all just, again, fun. And the same thing goes for Kevin Bond.
Graffiti: Yeah, while we’re talking about Kevin, I know that not everyone has attached to this.
Anselmo: Yeah, we’ve gone through like three different bass players, the most prominent being Hank III, of course – I’ll just say that right now Hank is in the middle of a very important part of his life where he needs to focus on Hank – We all love him and only want the best for him. It’s nothing bad, by the way, it’s just a pain in the ass for him right now. He’s healthy and great, so no worries there. He’s honestly just really busy and doesn’t really have time to be a part of this Superjoint experience, which leads me to Stephen [Taylor] and Blue [Joey Gonzalez]. Obviously Blue is in Warbeast and also plays in the Illegals with me, as does Stephen. Those guys are f—-n’ awesome. And once again, down right handsome devils Kevin Bond, with those child-bearing hips. I’m tellin’ you man, we are a group of handsome f—-n’ devils!
Graffiti: Then this is the live line-up for this summer’s ‘It Takes Guts’ tour?
Anselmo: Oh yeah, 100 percent, brother.

Housecore Horror Festival IS BACK.
Corey Mitchell, this is for you.
We love you, brother.
***********************************************************************
Legendary metal frontman and Housecore Records founder Philip Anselmo, is bringing his horror-themed film and metal festival back for a third year. After a great ride in Austin, the festival will kick off in San Antonio, Texas at the Aztec Theatre on November 13th -15th, 2015.
The decision to return was driven by the desire to honor his friend and festival co-founder, Corey Mitchell, who tragically passed away last October. Mitchell was the driving creative force behind the festival’s success, and Anselmo believes there is no better way to pay tribute to his friend than to carry on for a third year.
“I’ve got a great team in place to help make this what Corey and I wanted it to be,” he says. “There are a lot of mixed emotions here because no one can replace him. But, we know he would want this to continue and so that’s what we’re going to do. We miss him and think about him every day.”
In addition to showcasing the best in extreme metal, the festival will screen film gems from the personal vaults of both Anselmo and Mitchell. Horror filmmakers are encouraged to submit their films and winners will be selected in various categories and given the coveted Rot-Scar Award. “When Corey and I started this thing, it was important to us that we help independent filmmakers get their incredible work discovered,” Anselmo continues. “Nothing has changed, in that respect.”
The Housecore Horror Festival III is Friday, November 13 to Sunday November 15. at 10:00am in CST Aztec Theater, San Antonio, TX
The Housecore Horror Film Festival is now officially accepting 2015 film submissions!

In an extremely close race, Pantera / Down legend Philip Anselmo and Slipknot / Stone Sour vocalist Corey Taylor were neck-and-neck in our poll for the 2014 Titan of the Year. However, once the voting closed, Anselmo came out the victor.
You know what’s truly bizarre about Anselmo’s win? His margin of victory was by .5 percent, the very number that adorns Slipknot’s 2014 album, ‘.5: The Gray Chapter.’
2014 saw Anselmo release ‘Down IV – Part II’ with the southern sludge legends. ‘Part II’ charted even higher than first ‘Down IV’ EP, claiming No. 23 on the Billboard Top 200. Down also unveiled a music video for ‘We Knew Him Well.’
Anselmo and the late Corey Mitchell launched the second Housecore Horror Film Festival in 2014, showcasing Satyricon, Eyehategod, Portal and many other bands. The fest also celebrated the 40th anniversary of ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ with a reunion of all the living members of its cast and also featured a reunion performance by Anselmo’s Superjoint Ritual.
If you dig metal and comedy, you probably also saw the ‘Metal Grasshopper’ series, in which Anselmo taught comedian Dave Hill how to be a metal warrior. The result was questionable, but let’s be honest, not even Lemmy could pull of the feat.
Congrats to Philip Anselmo and here’s for a brutal 2015!
