Vs. Tuesday: Two Bands! One Song! Who Wins?! Fight! “I’m Broken” Edition

Time for a classic. Arlington Texas quartet Pantera were without doubt one of the biggest bands in Metal. There influence is felt far and wide and when we’re still talking about a band whose run was from 1981 to 2003 some 15 years on, there must have been something decent about them. As of August 2017 they had sold 60 million albums World wide, which speaks volumes in itself. “I’m Broken” from the bands 1994 classic “Far Beyond Driven” has been covered by many but today we’re going to focus on our own UK Underground Metal scene and a pair of bands who took the Pantera spirit and ran with it. In the red corner we have Malefice who split after a 14 year run that included this cover from Metal Hammer Magazine’s Dimebag Darrell Tribute compilation.

And in the blue corner, we have Kent’s Century Media Records darlings Feed The Rhino, who recorded their effort for Kerrang! Magazine’s Ulitmate Rock Heroes compilation. Their impressive album “The Silence” appeared to critical acclaim in February. They’ll be at this years incarnation of Bloodstock Open Air Festival at Catton Park in August. Who wins? You Decide.
