When Philip H. 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;
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. But for us, it certainly raised an eyebrow. In this new interview with Ultimate Guitar Magazine, they talk about why they’re playing sets
When it comes down to brass tacks, we are of the opinion that the freshly released KoRn album “The Nothing” is the most consistently good album they’ve put out since the first quartet of records.

For so many Pantera were a band that could do no wrong. The Arlington Texas quartet recorded what turned out to be their final album in 1999 with Sterling Winfield at the production helm as more of an assistant for Vinnie Paul and Dimebag Darrell than anything else. He’d later go on and do the
Who in their right mind doesn’t like Pantera? They may have broken up officially in 2003 but there can’t be a Metalhead out there who doesn’t know at the very least “Walk”! No doubt appearing in their Frog Leap Live! Set at their now painfully nearly sold out pair of UK shows, Leo Moracchioli has
Probably the album that defined the Groove Metal genre, if not the album that created it, “Vulgar Display Of Power” by Pantera is without a doubt one of the most influential in the modern metal scene. In trio “Mouth for War”, “A New Level” and “Walk”, the 1992 release features three absolute stone wall Metal
Sweetwater Texas GearFest 2018 saw Alice Cooper Guitarist Nita Strauss join 60 Cycle Hum in playing Pantera classic “Walk” from the equally legendary “Vulgar Display of Power” in tribute to drummer Vinnie Paul who passed away earlier this week. Rest in peace brother.
