Following the multi-platinum (5 million) success of their last album, Superunknown, Down On The Upside takes the group back to its roots as it was written, produced and mixed by the band. It is inspirational both musically and in its message. First single/video: "Pretty Noose" to AOR, COR, college, metal and alternative rock radio. The band will kick off their 1996 World Tour with Metallica on Lollapalooza this summer; plans are underway for a European tour and more dates in the U.S.
