Philip Anselmo‘s (DOWN, PHILIP H. ANSELMO & THE ILLEGALS) official YouTube channel has been updated with video footage of a drunk Anselmo meeting and signing autographs for fans in Moscow, Russia on June 29. 2014 when PHILIP H. ANSELMO & THE ILLEGALS performed in the city as part of the Park Live festival. Check out the clip below.
Anselmo recently toured Europe with his backup band THE ILLEGALS — guitarist Marzi Montazeri (ex-SUPERJOINT RITUAL), drummer José Manuel Gonzales (WARBEAST) and bassist Steve Taylor.
Anselmo‘s career-first solo album, “Walk Through Exits Only”, sold around 8,700 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 35 on The Billboard 200 chart.
Produced by Anselmo and Michael Thompson, and recorded over a couple of years at Philip‘s New Orleans studio, Nodferatu’s Lair, “Walk Through Exits Only” is abrasive, aggressive, anthemic and 100% Anselmo.
According to Anselmo, he worked on an estimated 15-17 songs for “Walk Through Exits Only”, which was issued via his own Housecore Records (MRI/Megaforce)
“I could’ve put on any number (of songs) I wanted, but for me, these eight songs all together, 40-something minutes, that’s my idea of a proper listening length,” he told Billboard.com. “When you start to get longer, it gets a little redundant and boring, and I didn’t want to bore anybody.”
