Info for The Complete Albums 1990-2000 (Remastered)

Die ultimative Pantera HighRes-ReMaster-Collection 'The Complete Albums 1990-2000' beinhaltet die Klassiker 'Cowboys From Hell' (1990), 'Vulgar Display Of Power' (1992), 'Far Beyond Driven' (1994), 'The Great Southern Trendkill' (1996) und 'Reinventing The Steel (2000).

Mit Cowboys From Hell (1990) zündeten PANTERA jenen Sprengstoff, der die Metal-Szene in den neunziger Jahren von Grund auf verändern sollte: Ultraharte Songs mit ebenso ultratrockenem Sound, der in hohem Tempo in die Metal-Menge geschossen wurde. Für die folgenden zehn Jahre waren die großen Gewinner des Genres damit definiert: Vier Platin-Alben und eine Nummer-1 Platzierung in den Billboard Album Charts für Far Beyond Driven machten PANTERA zum Metal-Phänomen der Dekade.

Um diesen einzigartigen Erfolg zu würdigen, veröffentlichen Rhino nun eine umfangreiche Box mit allen Studioalben, die zwischen 1990 und 2000 entstanden. The Complete Studio Albums 1990-2000 präsentiert Cowboys From Hell (1990), Vulgar Display Of Power (1992), Far Beyond Driven (1994), The Great Southern Trendkill (1996) und Reinventing The Steel (2000) ab dem 11. Dezember als 5-CD-Set und als limitiertes 5-LP Vinyl-Set auf farbigem Vinyl mit einer zusätzlichen 7-Zoll-Single mit Non-Album-Tracks! Die Single der 5-LP-Vinyl-Edition enthält zwei Songs, die zum ersten Mal auf Vinyl erscheinen: Den Track Piss, der 2012 auf der 20th Anniversary Edition von Vulgar Display of Power erstmalig veröffentlicht wurde, und Avoid The Light aus dem Soundtrack zu Dracula 2000.

Schon am 30. Oktober kommt eine Sammlung von neun Tracks aus allen fünf Alben mit dem Titel History Of Hostility, die als CD und als Vinyl-LP veröffentlicht wird.

Schon 1981 fanden sich PANTERA im texanischen Fort Worth unter dem Namen Panteras Metal Magic zusammen, aber erst, als Philip Anselmo im Jahr 1987 zu Dimebag Darrell, Vinnie Paul und Rex Brown stieß, brach die Urgewalt des typischen PANTERA-Sounds in voller Härte durch. Das neue Line-Up debütierte 1990 mit dem Album Cowboys From Hell, das heute zu den großen Marksteinen des Metal gehört. Die magenzerfetzende Kombination von Presslufthammer-Grooves, schwergewichtigen Gitarrenriffs und entfesselter Stimmgewalt ließ PANTERA innerhalb kürzester Zeit zu Helden aller Headbanger weltweit werden. Cowboys From Hell wurde zu einem der einflussreichsten Metal-Alben aller Zeiten. 1992 kehrten PANTERA mit Vulgar Display Of Power zurück, das dem Vorgänger mit Songs wie Walk und Mouth Of War noch einen drauf setzte, aber mit Hollow bewies, dass PANTERA auch Balladen konnten. Vulgar Display Of Power wurde mit Doppelplatin bedacht und hielt sich satte 79 Wochen in den US-Charts – länger als jedes andere PANTERA-Album – und erreichte in Deutschland Platz 69.

Ihr größter Erfolg sollte jedoch das 1994er Album Far Beyond Driven werden. Bis heute dürfte es das extremste Album sein, das es je auf Platz 1 der US-Billboard-Album-Charts (D: #7) geschafft hat. Unvergessen sind die herausragenden Songs 5 Minutes Alone und I’m Broken sowie die gelungene Coverversion von Black Sabbaths Planet Caravan.

The Great Southern Trendkill erschien 1996, katapultierte sich auf Platz 2 der Charts (D: #29) und wurde mit Platin belohnt. Es enthält einige von PANTERAs dunkelsten Lyrics (Suicide Note Pt. 1) und einige ihrer schnellsten Songs (etwa Sandblasted Skin). Das letzte PANTERA-Studioalbum, Reinventing The Steel, kam im Jahr 2000. Es spielte sich auf Platz 4 der US-Charts (D: #18) und erhielt Gold. Zu den Klassikern auf dem Album gehören Revolution Is My Name und Goddamn Electric. Kerry King von Slayer feierte einen furiosen Gastauftritt auf dem Album.

2003 wurde die Auflösung von PANTERA offiziell verkündet. Anselmo gründete die Hardcore-Combo Superjoint Ritual, und Vinnie Paul und Dimebag Darrell starteten Damageplan. Doch alle Hoffnungen der Fans auf eine irgendwann erfolgende Reunion wurden zunichte gemacht, als Dimebag Darrell am 8. Dezember 2004 von einem Wahnsinnigen während eines Damageplan-Konzerts erschossen wurde. Die gesamte Rockwelt trauerte um den großen Mann an der Gitarre.

PANTERA
Highly influential Metal band. The Arlington based band would, at a mid point in their career, adopt an aggressive new musical direction of hardened Thrash which would see PANTERA becoming one of the major artists in the Metal field, enjoying Platinum sales status and a number 1 Billboard album. Such was their innovation that they would create a whole new genre in the Heavy Metal field and influence a plethora of artists that came in their wake.

Whilst the mainstream discovered PANTERA in 1990, on the back of the 'Cowboys From Hell' album, it came as a surprise to many that the group had been operational, and successful, for many years prior, holding major status in Texas and boasting strong cult appeal internationally. The band's former musical stance and image was wildly different to that portrayed from 1990 onwards and initially the record company attempted to bury these past achievements - to no avail.

PANTERA (Spanish for 'Panther') started life in 1981 on the Texan club scene performing cover sets of VAN HALEN and KISS songs. Founded in 11th grade, the very first PANTERA line-up comprised singer Donnie Hart, guitarists Darrell Abbott and Terry Lee Glaze, bassist Tommy Bradford and drummer Vinnie Paul. By 1982 Hart had exited, with Glaze switching from guitar to the lead vocal role, and Bradford had been superseded by Rex Brown.

Diamond Darrell's enthusiasm to pick up the guitar came from having witnessed Ace Frehley and he proudly sport an ACE FREHLEY tattoo and KISS emblazoned guitars. PANTERA quickly became cult favourites on the underground metal scene with fans being constantly bemused by the band's undoubted quality against a series of truly horrendous amateur album covers and PANTERA's inability to break into the big time outside of dominating Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.

Nevertheless, PANTERA soon became adopted sons on their home turf, supporting the likes of STRYPER, DOKKEN and QUIET RIOT promoting debut album 'Metal Magic' in 1983. Glaze was to change his surname to Lee for the 1984 'Projects In The Jungle' album, a record which captured PANTERA drifting away from the more obvious melodic influences.

'I Am The Night', emerging in 1985 and again produced by The Eldn' (in reality Darrell and Vinnie's father Jerry) at Pantego Studios, boosted the band's profile scoring many maximum marks in the world's metal press finding the band in a heavier mood. PANTERA were still suffering from poor distribution, many fans being forced to pay extortionate import prices for the album, consequently the album struggled to sell 25'000 copies.

Soon after 'I Am The Night's release Lee split from the band to form LORD TRACY (originally called TRACI LORDS) and PANTERA retreated into the shadows. A series of vocalists followed including Matt L'Amour, who later joined DIAMOND, and David Peacock. These liaisons were short-lived however and PANTERA eventually re-emerged fronted by Louisiana native and ex-SAMHAIN and RAZOR WHITE singer Phil Anselmo, the new singer's latter act also having in their ranks future CROWBAR man Matt Thomas and FALL FROM GRACE's Wil Buras.

Despite finding their frontman, PANTERA were still blighted by problems. Their new record label Gold Mountain, tipped off about the band's prowess by KEEL guitarist MARC FERRARI, having met PANTERA when KEEL had played in Dallas with LOUDNESS during 1985, trying to manoeuvre the band into commercial territory. Undaunted and unconvinced, PANTERA recorded their heaviest album to date, 'Power Metal', and negotiated for a release on their own Metal Magic label. KEEL guitarist MARC FERRARI guested on the album with PANTERA returning the favour by recording Ferrari's 'Proud To Be Loud'. Although 1988's 'Power Metal' was undoubtedly a much harder record than previous attempts it was nothing compared to what was to come...

PANTERA drew back away from the limelight, during which time the band came close to splintering. Darrell had auditioned for the vacant guitar position in MEGADETH and was reportedly offered the post. However, Darrell insisted that Vinnie was part of the package and MEGADETH, who already had a drummer in Nick Menza, backed off, recruiting MARTY FRIEDMAN instead.

Legend has it that Atco Records A&R rep Mark Ross discovered the band almost by chance, stranded in Texas due to the ravages of Hurricane Hugo. Having caught the band live and realising the significant fan base PANTERA already held, negotiations with Atco Records ensued and the musicians also placed their faith in new management, contracting with Walter O'Brien at Concrete Inc. in New York. Upon their re-emergence and PANTERA surprised many with a new look, Phil Anselmo now sporting a close shorn haircut and a patchwork of tattoos, and a radical change in direction. PANTERA's 'Cowboys From Hell' album, recorded at the band's own Pantego Sound Studios and delivered in July 1990, offered bludgeoning Hardcore riffs, the solid intensity of their new songs burying any comparisons to their more melodic predecessors. … Visit: http://www.rockdetector.com
