We're still a week away from the release of Down's new EP, 'Down IV - Part II,' but the band is giving fans an early sneak preview of the album. The disc is currently streaming at Noisey.com ahead of the release and can be heard at this location.

There's a lot of anticipation for the new Down EP, 'Down IV, Part II,' which drops later this month, and the band's fans in Asheville, North Carolina got a little better idea of what's to come during the band's Saturday (May 3) performance.

Down have been lying in wait and now we're getting our first taste of their upcoming 'Down IV - Part Two' EP. The group has unveiled the new song 'We Knew Him Well' from the disc and fans can take a listen to the track in the player below.

2013 is not even two months old yet, but Down got the year off to a great start while joining labelmates Warbeast for a pummeling January excursion.
