Housecore Records have announced that they will be releasing a new split between Pantera and Down front man Phil Anselmo and Warbeast in January.
The official release date of the split is January 8, 2013 and will include two songs from each artist. The split serves as the first release of any solo work by Phil Anselmo, and the two Warbeast tracks on the split feature former bassist Alan Bovee before his amicable departure from the band. Since then, Dre Karst has joined on bass.
Anselmo commented, "This split is a glimpse into the future of both my solo project and ultimate thrash metallers Warbeast. The title of the split is War of The Gargantuas and it is fitting on many levels because of our combined love for the 60's Japanese film of the same name, the power of our combined musical output(s) and our humorous affection that plays out within each of our "Gargantuan" personalities. Both Warbeast and myself have full length LP's that will be released shortly after this is released, but this split is unique musically. It is a time capsule; a loud pause 'til we both release our full length products. Enjoy the destruction of music!"
