On March 22nd, 1994, Pantera released their seventh album and changed the history of metal forever through the primal yells and hardcore rhythm of “Strength Beyond Strength”, the drill-like riffs of “Becoming”, and the military march of “5 Minutes Alone”. True, the band had shed their glam finery at the start of the decade, and the music had clearly become harder after the arrival of Phil Anselmo. The fifth album, Cowboys From Hell, released in 1990, was the first true classic Pantera record – and two years later, Vulgar Display Of Power pushed things even further, straight in the face of the audience.
By 1992, Pantera already had their fundamental album. Regarding Vulgar Display Of Power, Entertainment Weekly even stated that it was probably “one of the most satisfying heavy metal albums since the glory days of Metallica in the 80s”. All the band lacked at the time to match the positive reviews was a larger audience, even if they’d already begun conquering the charts: Cowboys landed them a spot on the Billboard 200 in the US for a week, while Vulgar Display… made it to the Top 50 during the sixteen weeks it spent in the charts. However, they’d not quite reached the summit yet.
