Pantera
Cowboys from Hell
even those who scoff at the idea that rock amp roll is the devil's music have to think twice when listening to pantera the pillpopping stripbarogling beerguzzling texas combo takes metallica's speedmetal cues to new heights of brutality and sacrilege fortunately they're extremely good at what they do the polyrhythmic complexity of vinnie paul's drumming in 'psycho holiday' and guitarist 'dimebag' darrell's breathtaking solo in 'heresy' are examples of stateoftheart metal musicianship vocalist phil anselmo often sounds like metallica's james hetfield but his brooding croon on 'cemetery gates' and his falsetto screams on the blindingly fast 'shattered' are more like vintage deep purple released in 1990 cowboys made pantera one of metal's top draws during an era in which it was almost eclipsed by alternative rock
