Rex Brown is not only one of the best bassists in Heavy Music history, but also a man that never bites his tongue. We recently had the chance to chat with Rex about his NEW band KILL DEVIL HILL, who will be releasing their debut album on March 27th via SPV/Steamhammer. The bands self-titled album offers the listener a soundtrack full of power, soul and plenty of groove. On this NEW project, Rex is joined by legendary drummer Vinny Appice, guitarist Mark Zavon, and vocalist Dewey Bragg.
During our exclusive interview with Rex, we also discussed the legacy of PANTERA, the band that saved Heavy Music in the early 90's thanks to their vulgar display of crushing Metal. Their phenomenal 10 studio albums, were only topped by their amazing stage show. When PANTERA came to town, nobody was safe and their explosive live show left many Panteraheads scarred for life! They say that glory always has a very high prize to pay, in the case of the Kings Of Metal this is an understatement.
We also talked to Rex about his current health condition and why he decided to leave DOWN. Without further dude, here is our exclusive interview with Rex Brown!
Stay tuned for further information about KILL DEVIL HILL.

So glad to hear Rex is doing well..... I have watched them , (Rex with Pantera) since 1985.(back with a singer called Terry/ then Phil , who brought a new "style" with a voice we had not heard before , buy fell in love with! . First show I saw live was in Lawton Okla. at Hard Rox Cafe on Ft. Sill Blvd.---And after that , many years of them touring hard through clubs.And ,...you gotta know we rarely missed a show! Then to become "known / famous to the whole world.".
ReplyDeleteMuch love and well wishes from someone who watched them go through many changes , and always , always remained worth the "price /time" to go to their show!
Looking forward to Kill Devil Hill , and will love to read Rex's book this fall..(Sept. I think?)
Again , best wishes ,

I was stationed at Ft. Sill, OK from 1986 to 1989 and never missed a Pantera show at the Hard Roxx. After getting to know the guys pretty well, I even started helping them set up for the show. Great band and great group of guys. Never said no to a autograph or photo. Memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks Pantera!
