Anselmo spoke to Loudwire Magazine in 2014 about the meaning behind “Becoming” from the seventh studio album by Pantera, he said “The most popular heavy metal bands in the world at that time were, in my estimate and definitely all of our estimates, playing the game. … They had reached this pinnacle;

Bootleg: Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals: Vulgar Display of Pantera!

Having known Slayer since 1987, perhaps having former Pantera frontman Philip H. Anselmo and The Illegals on the current leg of the “final” Big Four members tour shouldn’t be a great surprise.

Outside of those first four, the Bakersfield Californian Nu-Metal pioneers have show glimpses of what they can do without quite

Review: “The Nothing” by KoRn

The 13th studio album from Bakersfield California Nu-Metal pioneers KoRn titled “The Nothing” was produced by Nick Raskulinecz who handled the role for 2016’s “The House of Suffering” as well as albums from Trivium and Deftones.

NEWS: Jared Dines, Pantera, 18 Strings…

From the sublime to the ridiculous, Jared Dines cranks out Pantera classic “Walk” on an 18 string guitar. How long is it going to be before someone shows this to Phil Anselmo and asks for a comment before throwing it up on YouTube? There comes a point where it’s just… It’s been a while. Time
