METAL MAGIC.

1985:- Their Third independent album I AM THE NIGHT is released.
1988:- Through the release of three successful independent albums, the band became
progressively heavier and to complete their direction added Philip Anselmo. With
Philip, the band recorded their most successful independent album to date POWER METAL. The
album, combined with their incredible live shows, gained Pantera a large underground
following worldwide.
1990:- Pantera sign with East West / Atlantic and release COWBOYS FROM HELL produced by
Terry Date. The album breaks new ground with it`s own style and direction.
Incorporating raw and aggressive energy with their polished songwritting and emphassing
their trademark 'Power Groove', COWBOYS FROM HELL is a worldwide success. Picture from that timeframe.
1991:- COWBOYS FROM HELL long form video is released and the band perform at the 'Monsters
Of Rock' Festival in Moscow. The Russian audience goes nuts at the band`s earth shattering
brutality.
1992:- VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER is released! MOUTH FOR WAR off VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER was
the first metal single ever to debut at #1 - beating Metallica`s "Enter
Sandman", while the album topped the U.S metal charts for week on end! Critics are
unanimous in their enthusiasm... Guitar World raved "Anselmo sings with the fury of a
post office psycho" and the village Voice called Pantera an "angry,
cantankerous, ferally aggressive band that channels all the free-floating rage of their
environment into a murderous metallic growl."
1993:- Pantera`s first headliner tour of the UK begins. Band members prepare for the
recording of the new album.
1994:- Pantera release new album, FAR BEYOND DRIVEN. "It`s fucking heavy!"
quotes singer Philip Anselmo. In March, FAR BEYOND DRIVEN is released debuting at No. 1 on
the Australian and U.S. album charts simultaneously. The world tour begins. The true
definitin of Pantera is their live performance, which literally rattles your body and
crushes at your ears like a vice - a sheer hostile takeover.
