(29 Customer Reviews)
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.

Entertainment Weekly (3/6/92, p.59) - "..one of the most satisfying heavy metal records since Metallica's early-80s cult days...11 caustic songs of unabashed brute force...a fully realized album that goes way beyond metal's usual crunch-and-burn.." - Rating: A Q (7/01, p.90) - Included in Q's "50 Heaviest Albums of All Time" - "...Pantera's new, heavier direction...was succinctly summed up by 'A New Level's sludge-thick chorus and the neck-snapping riffage of bile-flecked hate anthem 'F***ing Hostile'..."

DIMEBAG DARRELL PANTERA is definitly metal. i dont care about their earlier stuff, this is a solid album. that being said, this album is EXCELLENT and rocks in so many ways. DIMEBAG is one of the best guitarists ever, as well as my personal hero, along with RANDY RHOADS. and phil anselmo sounds absolutley LIVID throughout this release. if you like this i reccomend COWBOYS FROM HELL, MASTER OF PUPPETS and REIGN IN BLOOD.

One of the greatest albums ever made If you like metal then their is NO excuse for not having this. Submitted by Jake (Georgia) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 2 found this helpful.
they wish they were metal I remember hearing original Pantera singing about "take a lick from my ice-cream cone" back when I was banging my head to real metal. Then one day they decide that they have to change their style and get with it? No thanks! They always wanted to be metal, but never achieved it. This is an album the jocks in high-school discover and are all "yeah, this is cool!" who never even heard a real metal record before. The music lacks the feeling that a true metal band puts in it. People compare this junk to "Reign in Blood" or "Master of Puppets?" what a joke! Submitted by MetalForever (Metalland, USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 2 found this helpful.
