Pantera Vulgar Display of Power

Album Description
Pantera: Philip Anselmo (vocals); Diamond Darrell (guitar); Rex (bass); Vinnie Paul (drums).
Recorded at Pantego Sound Studio, Pantego, Texas.

With a rougher image and a more focused, aggressive sound than in their hairspray and spandex days on an independent label, Texas natives Pantera made a serious dent in the heavy music scene with the major label release of COWBOYS FROM HELL, which inspired radio play and MTV support. While Metallica and Megadeth were watering down their approach for a more mainstream sound, Pantera got harder with VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER.

From the moment vocalist Phil Anselmo screams his first \"Revenge!\" in \"Mouth for War,\" the stage is set. Drummer Vinnie Paul showcases relentless technical prowess thrashing out complex double-bass drum patterns in \"A New Level\" and \"By Demons be Driven,\" while guitarist Diamond Darrell\'s seemingly endless supply of hard-grooving, blues-inspired hooks are the heart of \"No Good\" and \"Live in a Hole.\" In the emotional power-ballad \"Hollow,\" the song\'s protagonist faces the heartache of having a friend trapped in a coma; and just as in the epic \"Cemetery Gates\" from COWBOYS FROM HELL, Anselmo continues to struggle with the consequences of fate and the will of the world.
