Widely considered a metal masterpiece. Pantera stripped away the remaining traditional metal tropes to deliver a raw, street-ready, and punishingly heavy sonic assault. Tracks like "Walk," "A New Level," and "Mouth for War" established them as the premier metal band of the 90s, offering a heavy alternative to the exploding grunge scene.
By 1990, Pantera completely overhauled their look, sound, and attitude. They signed with Atco Records, teamed up with legendary producer Terry Date, and invented a punishing, syncopated style of heavy music that became known as "groove metal."
