Slayer - Angel of Death (Lyrics on Screen Video 🎤🎶🎸🥁)
Finally doing Reign in Blood! Of course the all time thrash classic Angel of Death is one of my favorite Slayer songs haha. The song comes out with a very good lick (in my opinion) with some nice accented cymbal barks and percussion fills. I get pumped up no matter what hearing the intro to this song haha. The scream too is kind of funny is a way lol. Like I said this is a thrash masterpiece in my opinion, so many good licks and checks all the boxes for a thrashterpiece. 1:37 is probably one of my favorite licks and parts of any song ever it never fails to pump me up as well as the part following it fucking jams the fuck out. The rhythm of the lyrics and the lyrics themselves really fit the song, I could go on forever as usual. Enjoy!

🎤 Lyrics 🎤
[Intro]
Ah
[Verse 1]
Auschwitz, the meaning of pain
The way that I want you to die
Slow death, immense decay
Showers that cleanse you of your life
Forced in, like cattle you run
Stripped of
Your life's worth
Human mice, for the angel of death
Four hundred thousand more to die
[Chorus 1]
Angel of death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
[Verse 2]
Sadistic, surgeon of demise
Sadist of the noblest blood
Destroying, without mercy
To benefit the Aryan race
Surgery, with no anesthesia
Feel the knife pierce you intensely
Inferior, no use to mankind
Strapped down, screaming out to die
[Chorus 2]
Angel of death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher
Angel of death
[Verse 3]
Pumped with fluid, inside your brain
Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes
Burning flesh drips away
Test of heat burns your skin, your mind starts to boil
Frigid cold cracks your limbs
How long can you last
In this frozen water burial?
Sewn together, joining heads
Just a matter of time
'Till you rip yourselves apart
[Bridge 1]
Millions laid out in their
Crowded tombs
Sickening ways to achieve
The Holocaust
[Verse 4]
Seas of blood, bury life
Smell your death as it burns
Deep inside of you
Abacinate, eyes that bleed
Praying for the end of
Your wide awake nightmare
Wings of pain, reach out for you
His face of death staring down
Your blood's running cold
Injecting cells, dying eyes
Feeding on the screams of
The mutants he's creating
[Bridge 2]
Pathetic harmless victims
Left to die
Rancid angel of death
Flying free
[Lead - King and Hanneman]
[Chorus 2]
Angel of death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher
Angel of death
Angel of death

In terms of writing, I’d say the Reign In Blood album was pretty close to complete when they came in. I think we just stepped up the recording from what they had done independently before that. It was really more the engineering.
I signed Slayer to Def Jam. Columbia Records was the distributor, but they refused to put it out because of “Angel of Death.” That was how I started my relationship with Geffen records, because Columbia refused.
The lyrics and music were written by Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman and are based on Nazi physician Josef Mengele, known as “Todesengel” or “Angel of Death,” who conducted human experiments at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. “Angel of Death” contributed to the band facing accusations of Nazi… read more »
What has Slayer said about accusations that they are Nazi sympathizers?
According to Decibel, the band members had the following to say about the controversy stemming from songs like “Angel of Death” and Hanneman’s preoccupation with Nazi memorabilia:
Hanneman: I collect medals and other Nazi stuff that my dad got me started on because he gave me all this shit he got off of dead Nazis. I remember stopping some place where I bought two books on [Nazi “surgeon” Josef] Mengele. I thought, “This has gotta be some sick shit.” So when it came time to do the record, that stuff was still in my head—that’s where the lyrics to “Angel of Death” came from. Next thing I know, we’re neo-Nazis.
King: Yeah, “Slayer are Nazis, fascists, communists”—all that fun shit. And of course we got the most flack for it in Germany. I was always like, “Read the lyrics and tell me what’s offensive about it. Can you see it as a documentary, or do you think Slayer’s preaching fucking World War II?” People get this thought in their heads—especially in Europe—and you’ll never talk them out of it.
Lombardo: We got dropped by Columbia because of that. I mean, “Auschwitz—the meaning of pain!” Any sympathizers with the Holocaust aren’t gonna have any part of it. But they didn’t see the deep meaning of it—it’s just documented musical awareness. It’s not necessarily for it—it’s just something that Jeff discovered and wrote a song about.

[Verse 1]
Unity is a rare thing
Blind eyes of society bring
The category of minority
Now what are we supposed to be?
Born free to be powerless to change the world
With our lives in the hands of madmen
[Verse 2]
Now in times when society needs us
This is where the sin begins
We're aware they're going to free us
Rage from our hearts within
Born of this world, which is a living hell
But we'll be closer to heaven
[Chorus]
So now, this is the art to shred
It's only emotion
This is the art to shred
It's only emotion
Shred!

Cowboys from Hell is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on July 24, 1990 by Atco Records. It marked the band's major label debut and their first collaboration with producer Terry Date. It is considered one of the first ever groove metal albums.[6]
Writing sessions for Cowboys from Hell took place throughout 1988 and 1989. After being turned down "28 times by every major label on the face of the Earth", Atco Records representative Mark Ross was asked by his boss, Derek Shulman (who was interested in signing Pantera), to see the band perform after Hurricane Hugo stranded him in Texas. Ross was so impressed by the band's performance that he called his boss that night, suggesting that Pantera be signed to the label.[3]
Ross on the performance:
"By the end of the first song, my jaw was on the floor. The sonic power of it all — the attitude and the musicianship — blew me away. Basically, you had to be an idiot to not think they're amazing. I mean, how could you see these guys and not think, 'Holy shit!'?"[7]
Atco Records accepted but the band had to wait a six month period before they commenced recording at Pantego Sound Studio in Pantego, Texas. Accounts vary as to how long the recording sessions of Cowboys from Hell lasted; bassist Rex Brown stated in a 2010 interview with Metal Hammer that the recording sessions took place from February to April 1990,[3] however vocalist Phil Anselmo has also claimed that the album was recorded in 1989.[1][2] Pantera's initial choice as the producer for Cowboys from Hell was Max Norman based on his work with Ozzy Osbourne. Norman, who flew to Houston to watch the band perform, initially agreed to work on the album, but right before the recording sessions started, he was offered to produce Lynch Mob's debut album Wicked Sensation instead.[8] Pantera then proposed Terry Date to produce the album on the strength of his work with Soundgarden, Metal Church and Overkill, the latter of whose latest album at the time The Years of Decay had influenced Diamond Darrell's guitar tone, as well as the band's transition away from glam/traditional heavy metal to thrash/groove metal.[9][10][11][12][13]

[Verse 1]
Understanding what has happened before us
We are confined to a darkened hidden tomb
The conquering of our world as we knew it
Rise above this pit of sorrow and pain
Among the few we are the avant leaders
We've got to live through this trouble and decay
[Chorus]
This question haunts my mind
Will we survive this night?
We're harboring the meek
Will we survive the sleep?
[Verse 2]
Unsure and scared we are planning our reprise
Revolves around this world we don't know anymore
The odds against us yet we're stronger and prevailing
Learn from mistakes counting souls for sale
[Chorus]
This question haunts my mind
Will we survive this night?
We're harboring the meek
Will we survive the sleep?

[Verse 1]
There's a place that I keep deep inside me
It can trigger my mind
All along I knew it has been with me
Since I was just a child
I just summon power within my soul
It has given me life, beyond life
I take blame for my murderous problem
My signature always reminds
[Chorus]
It's a message in blood
It's your cryptic warning
Within the message in blood
Marks the years of pain
And your godforsaken ending to life
[Verse 2]
I'm provoked into sick confrontations
Brutal time after time
Bed of nails, suffocation, life's ending
Slay in different designs
One man's misery is another man's mystery
No one cares to understand my demented means
Sticks and stones can break all your brittle bones
Epitaph written at your feet
[Chorus]
It's a message in blood
It's your cryptic warning
Within the message in blood
Marks the years of pain
And your godforsaken ending to life

[Verse 1]
Many distant miles away
Past the shores of ever dark
There stays a magic man
Who bears an evil mark
He helps all concerned
Those who come again return
Injecting lies while fires burn
The devil's heart
With angel's words
[Half-Verse 1]
Have you wondered what heaven's like?
He can show you in one night
Overwhelming with euphoric lift
To lure you, to steal your gift
[Pre-Chorus]
Intoxication
Seeping down to the bone
And there's no question
Where you have to go
[Chorus]
Understand, just take his hand
He's the medicine man
Understand, just take his hand
He's the medicine man
[Verse 2]
Once proud and fearless men
With desire in their eyes
Lost strong and fruitful lives
To self-indulgent ties
Their souls were dipped in venom
And put into a box
Then placed upon a crowded shelf
Where countless souls now rot
[Half-Verse 2]
Have you ever wondered what hell's like?
He can take you there
Just one taste and you'll be back
And by the high you'll swear
[Pre-Chorus]
Intoxication
Seeping down to the bone
And there's no question
Where you have to go
[Chorus]
Understand, just take his hand
He's the medicine man
Understand, just take his hand
He's the medicine man

Understand, just take his hand
He's the medicine man
Understand, just take his hand

There's no healing
Families are dying

This wrath can't be denied

Lacerations, dissected nation

This song too (of course) is top 3 from the album for me. Perfect blend of solo, breakdown, and heavy ass licks. Vinnie showcases his skills in this song quite well, love Vin's drumming. This is one of those songs that seems a lot shorter than it is because it's so good. Also Rex's playing on this track is awesome, the bass line during the solo is real nice.

[Intro]
Oh, come on
[Verse 1]
Under the lights where we stand tall
Nobody touches us at all
Showdown, shootout
Spread fear within, without
I say we're gonna take what's ours to have
Spread the word throughout the land
They say the bad guys wear black
We're tagged and can't turn back
[Pre-Chorus]
You see us coming and you all together run for cover
We're taking over this town
[Chorus]
Here we come, reach for your gun
And you better listen well, my friend
You see, it's been slow down below
Aimed at you, we're the Cowboys from Hell
Deed is done, again we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales, friend
'Cause high noon, your doom
Coming for you, we're the Cowboys from Hell
[Verse 2]
Oh, pillage the village, trash the scene
But better not take it out on me
'Cause a ghost town is found
Where your city used to be
So out of the darkness and into the light
Sparks fly everywhere in sight
From my double barrel, 12 gauge
Can't lock me in your cage
[Pre-Chorus]
You see us coming and you all together run for cover
We're taking over this town

Here we come, reach for your gun

This is my favorite song hands down from the album and top 5 Pantera of all time for me. I remember first hearing this song during a descending part of my life, I had it on repeat for longer than someone should. The opening acoustic along with Phil's vocals is god damn magical as well as the distorted part. This song is written So fucking well god DAMMIT. This song (in my opinion) is about an old girlfriend Phil used to have and how he was unable to get something off his chest to her before she died. I could be completely wrong if you know what the song is about let me know! Enjoy!

[Intro]
Reverend, Reverend, is this some conspiracy?
Crucified for no sins, an image beneath me
What's within our plans for life, it all seems so unreal
I'm a man cut in half in this world left in my misery
[Verse 1]
The Reverend he turned to me without a tear in his eyes
Nothing new for him to see, I didn't ask him why
I will remember the love our souls had sworn to make
Now I watch the falling rain, all my mind can see now is your
[Pre-Chorus]
Well I guess you took my youth and gave it all away
Like the birth of a new-found joy, this love would end in rage
And when she died, I couldn't cry, the pride within my soul
You left me incomplete, all alone as the memories now unfold
[Chorus]
Believe the word, I will unlock my door
And pass the cemetery gates
[Verse 2]
Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder aloud
If you're watching over me, some place far abound
I must reverse my life, I can't live in the past
Then set my soul free, belong to me at last
[Pre-Chorus]
Through all those complex years, I thought I was alone
I didn't care to look around and make this world my own
And when she died, I should have cried and spared myself some pain
You left me incomplete, all alone as the memories still remain
[Chorus]
The way we were, the chance to save my soul
And my concern is now in vain
Believe the word, I will unlock my door
And pass the cemetery gates
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
The way we were, the chance to save my soul
And my concern is now in vain
Believe the word, I will unlock my door
And pass the cemetery

Cowboys from Hell is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on July 24, 1990 by Atco Records. It marked the band's major label debut and their first collaboration with producer Terry Date. It is considered one of the first ever groove metal albums.[6]
Writing sessions for Cowboys from Hell took place throughout 1988 and 1989.

Ross was so impressed by the band's performance that he called his boss that night, suggesting that Pantera be signed to the label.[3]
Ross on the performance:
"By the end of the first song, my jaw was on the floor. The sonic power of it all — the attitude and the musicianship — blew me away. Basically, you had to be an idiot to not think they're amazing. I mean, how could you see these guys and not think, 'Holy shit!'?"[7]
Atco Records accepted but the band had to wait a six month period before they commenced recording at Pantego Sound Studio in Pantego, Texas.

This is a solid ass song, the lick in the beginning is nice and sounds even better when Dime's tone kicks in. Vinnie of course with some nice ass tom fills into the main lick. The outro on this song is strong. The lyric scheme fits the song title pretty well. Favorite lyrics "So they can lick my sack!" hehe. 2:55 and 3:29 are some heavy dimebag lickin lmao. Enjoy.
🎤 Lyrics Start 🎤
[Verse 1]
Here we are
In a world of corruption
Human nature is
A violent breed
Who cares if there's no tomorrow
When I die for my future's
Laid out for me
Can't you see
Rise above the lies
Morals on a backwards globe
A sin to you
For me it's hope
It's my life and provision
Black or white
Some pay to pray
You question why they
Act this way
It's their fucking decision
[Chorus 1]
No more judgement day
Only tranquility
Peace signs, protest lines
Mean nothing to me
[Chorus 2]
Honesty born in me
Heresy
[Verse 2]
I know what's right or wrong
And my belief is stronger
Than your advice
People, they go to war
Because religion gives them
Reason to fight
Sacrifice, die for pride
Sacrifice
A group that caters
No one's fees
Or synthetic deities
Is where I belong
My stand is the human race
Without a label or a face
So they can lick my sack
[Chorus 1]
No more judgement day
Only tranquility
Peace signs, protest lines
Mean nothing to me
[Chorus 2]
Honesty born in me
Heresy
Honesty born in me
Heresy

The opening tom beat is some Donkey Kong sounding shit. The into riff Dime plays and where it's played sounds chaotic and heavy as fuck. I think this song is just Pantera displaying their abilities with a song that just smashes you in the face immediately (not that their others don't hehe). 1:19 and 1:04 are real nice. Enjoy.

There's a double standard for the way we live
If there's nothing to have, well then there's nothing to give

Come and be with me
Live my twisted dream

The man of a thousand retirements
Will always be the one to tell you when to quit
I won't take stock in a withered man

[Verse 1]
Empty and sweating
Head lying in your hands
Shaking in the corner
Done too much alcohol
Gotta get away from it all
Cause it feels my blood is freezing
My self insanity has taken its toll
Frustration has taken its control
[Chorus]
Now I'm far from home
Spending time alone
It's time to set my demons free
Been put to the test
My mind laid to rest
I'm on a psycho holiday
[Verse 2]
Shot down on sight
You are the target of attention
One woman here, another there
You can't please all the people all the time
Can't tell the strangers from the friends you know
Frustration has taken its control
[Chorus]
Now you're far from home
Spending time alone
It's time to set your demons free
Been put to the test
Your mind laid to rest
You're on a psycho holiday
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I'm strapped in for life
Is this where I lived
Or where I died
You want my money
You take my space
My mind is telling me
To leave this place
My self insanity has taken its toll
Frustration has taken its control
[Chorus]
Now I'm far from home
Spending time alone
It's time to set my demons free
Been put to the test
My mind laid to rest
I'm on a psycho holiday
Now I'm far from home
Spending time alone
It's time to set my demons free
Been put to the test
My mind laid to rest
I'm on a psycho holiday
Now I'm far from home
Spending time alone
It's time to set my demons free
Been put to the test
My mind laid to rest
I'm on a psycho holiday.

Pantera's songwriting will never be able to be replicated. 2:30 shows how changing when the high hat is hit can really change the feel.... groove metal! Enjoy.

[Intro]
Oh, come on
[Verse 1]
Under the lights where we stand tall
Nobody touches us at all
Showdown, shootout
Spread fear within, without
I say we're gonna take what's ours to have
Spread the word throughout the land
They say the bad guys wear black
We're tagged and can't turn back
[Pre-Chorus]
You see us coming and you all together run for cover
We're taking over this town
[Chorus]
Here we come, reach for your gun
And you better listen well, my friend
You see, it's been slow down below
Aimed at you, we're the Cowboys from Hell
Deed is done, again we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales, friend
'Cause high noon, your doom
Coming for you, we're the Cowboys from Hell
[Verse 2]
Oh, pillage the village, trash the scene
But better not take it out on me
'Cause a ghost town is found
Where your city used to be
So out of the darkness and into the light
Sparks fly everywhere in sight
From my double barrel, 12 gauge
Can't lock me in your cage
[Pre-Chorus]
You see us coming and you all together run for cover
We're taking over this town
[Chorus]
Here we come, reach for your gun
And you better listen well, my friend
You see, it's been slow down below
Aimed at you, we're the Cowboys from Hell
Deed is done, again we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales, friend
'Cause high noon, your doom
Coming for you, we're the Cowboys from Hell

This one comes out swinging just most other Pantera songs haha. Fast thrashy double bass with a nice signature dimebag lick, awesome! I'm not too sure what the lyrics scheme on this one is about or what the song title means maybe one of you can enlighten me. 1:00 is a nice lick and is probably my favorite of the song. The outro is interesting in this one as it goes silent for awhile then continues back into one of the main licks. Enjoy!

It's on sale at the fuckin' dollar store!

"This song concludes the story of The Great Southern Trendkill’s title track. The trend that was popular for a while is now forgotten and killed."
** Wikipedia.com stuff **
The Great Southern Trendkill is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on May 7, 1996 through East West Records. It reached number 4 on the Billboard 200 chart, and stayed on the chart for 16 weeks. Phil Anselmo recorded the vocals alone at Trent Reznor's Nothing Studios in New Orleans[3] while Dimebag Darrell, Rex Brown, and Vinnie Paul recorded the music at Chasin Jason Studios in Dalworthington Gardens.
"Floods", the album's longest song, contains a guitar solo considered by many to be Dimebag Darrell's finest. Guitar World magazine voted it as the 15th greatest guitar solo of all-time, Darrell's highest-ranking of three solos to make the list (the other two being his solos from "Cemetery Gates", ranked 35th, and "Walk", ranked 57th).
The album is available as downloadable content for the video game Rock Band, with the exception of "Suicide Note Pt. I".
The song "10's" was featured in the Funimation dub of the Dragon Ball Z film Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan in 2003.
Considered Pantera's most aggressive album,[4] The Great Southern Trendkill is known for featuring much screaming,[5][6] most notably on "Suicide Note Pt. II" and "The Great Southern Trendkill" while also featuring some of the fastest tempos and most down-tuned guitars ("The Underground in America" and "(Reprise) Sandblasted Skin" were played in standard D flat tuning, with the 6th string tuned to a low G flat.)[citation needed] that the band ever recorded. It also has a more experimental nature, such as the acoustic guitars[4] and ballads.[7]
Unlike Pantera's first three major label albums, the vocals are often double-tracked and layered to create a more "demonic" effect.[citation needed] An example of this can be heard in the chorus of "13 Steps to Nowhere", when Phil Anselmo's singing voice is backed up by high-pitched screaming, done by Seth Putnam of the band Anal Cunt.[8] Screams done by Anselmo on the song "The Great Southern Trendkill" were compared to Putnam.[9]
The lyrical themes on The Great Southern Trendkill include drugs, a flood that ends mankind, finding deeper meaning, anger, and the media.[4][7][10][11][12][13] The album features elements of thrash metal[5][14] and death metal,[9] but is mostly considered a groove metal album overall.[5]
On August 12, 2016, Pantera announced the release of a 20th anniversary edition of The Great Southern Trendkill for October 21.[18] The reissue features two discs, including a remastered version of the original album as well as 12 unreleased tracks (these include instrumentals, as well as alternative mixes and live recordings from the Dynamo Festival in 1998).[19] In addition, a separate LP named The Great Southern Outtakes was released. It consists of songs also released on disc 2 of Trendkill's reissue except for the intro and early mix of "Suicide Note Part l".[20]

This is where the sin begins
We're aware they're going to free us
Rage from our hearts within
Born of this world, which is a living hell

Cowboys from Hell is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on July 24, 1990 by Atco Records. It marked the band's major label debut and their first collaboration with producer Terry Date. It is considered one of the first ever groove metal albums.[6]
Writing sessions for Cowboys from Hell took place throughout 1988 and 1989. After being turned down "28 times by every major label on the face of the Earth", Atco Records representative Mark Ross was asked by his boss, Derek Shulman (who was interested in signing Pantera), to see the band perform after Hurricane Hugo stranded him in Texas. Ross was so impressed by the band's performance that he called his boss that night, suggesting that Pantera be signed to the label.[3]
Ross on the performance:
"By the end of the first song, my jaw was on the floor. The sonic power of it all — the attitude and the musicianship — blew me away. Basically, you had to be an idiot to not think they're amazing. I mean, how could you see these guys and not think, 'Holy shit!'?"[7]
Atco Records accepted but the band had to wait a six month period before they commenced recording at Pantego Sound Studio in Pantego, Texas. Accounts vary as to how long the recording sessions of Cowboys from Hell lasted; bassist Rex Brown stated in a 2010 interview with Metal Hammer that the recording sessions took place from February to April 1990,[3] however vocalist Phil Anselmo has also claimed that the album was recorded in 1989.[1][2] Pantera's initial choice as the producer for Cowboys from Hell was Max Norman based on his work with Ozzy Osbourne. Norman, who flew to Houston to watch the band perform, initially agreed to work on the album, but right before the recording sessions started, he was offered to produce Lynch Mob's debut album Wicked Sensation instead.[8] Pantera then proposed Terry Date to produce the album on the strength of his work with Soundgarden, Metal Church and Overkill, the latter of whose latest album at the time The Years of Decay had influenced Diamond Darrell's guitar tone, as well as the band's transition away from glam/traditional heavy metal to thrash/groove metal.[9][10][11][12][13]

The intro lick on this with Dime's tone sounds like a Halloween lick haha! Vinnie's double bass sounds really good during the intro too. I feel this song is about some kind of scene of people who are very fake and Pantera hating them lol. Also it's cool how they lead with the chorus, it adds to the uniqueness of the song. This song fits the theme of the album really well, killing the fake trends! Enjoy!
🎤 Lyrics 🎤
[Chorus]
Put in position to wage teenage mayhem
A common affair for the ones who are juiced
If it is weakness that grants us the power
We thrive on what's stronger than most of the world
[Verse 1]
Glass breaks, the dimming lights
Sweat, heat and profane debate
The smart ones stay on the outside
While drunken heads and arms erupt
Centered man swings a punch
Spits a tooth, postures odd
A punk rock escapade
Five bucks a head to be king dick in the crowd
We are the ones who must sport the position
Cheap beer, trendy clicks
Lesbian love is accepted and right
Shaved heads meet hair in the mix
Blending the 80's and 90's with hate
[Chorus]
Put in position to wage teenage mayhem
A common affair for the ones who are juiced
If it is weakness that grants us the power
We thrive on what's stronger than most of the world
[Verse 2]
Shows on, dates canceled
Kicked out for reasons that seem so unfair
Skin crusts against the cops
A foregone conclusion that's tired and beat
Ringworm, crabs and lice
V.D., ecstasy, speed and horse
A heaven of unmatched importance
An honor of sex to be stuck by the punk
We are the ones who must sport the position
Rich homes with money and food
Abandoned for the bums on the street
A lifestyle that's unexplainable
Don't try and save what is all meant to be
[Chorus]
Put in position to wage teenage mayhem
A common affair for the ones who are juiced
If it is weakness that grants us the power
We thrive on what's stronger than most of the world
[Verse 3]
If it is free, from a family that's seen
You can just keep it
If you must beg, it's better instead
You must follow the etiquette
Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake!
You know when it rains you're in your bed at home
You act so real when you are alone
Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake!
You better not let the mohawked crowd see
Haha, ah fuck
Give it five years, you'll retire your piercings
You must admit that you mimic the weaklings
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
The trend is dead!
The trend is dead!
The trend is dead!

"This song continues the topic of The Great Southern Trendkill’s title track. This time it’s about the posers that are acting like they are part of America’s underground culture, but in reality are just a bunch of fake weaklings and are trying to look cool."

"Floods", the album's longest song, contains a guitar solo considered by many to be Dimebag Darrell's finest. Guitar World magazine voted it as the 15th greatest guitar solo of all-time, Darrell's highest-ranking of three solos to make the list (the other two being his solos from "Cemetery Gates", ranked 35th, and "Walk", ranked 57th).
The Great Southern Trendkill is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on May 7, 1996 through East West Records. It reached number 4 on the Billboard 200 chart, and stayed on the chart for 16 weeks.

Considered Pantera's most aggressive album,[4] The Great Southern Trendkill is known for featuring much screaming,[5][6] most notably on "Suicide Note Pt. II" and "The Great Southern Trendkill" while also featuring some of the fastest tempos and most down-tuned guitars ("The Underground in America" and "(Reprise) Sandblasted Skin" were played in standard D flat tuning, with the 6th string tuned to a low G flat.)[citation needed] that the band ever recorded. It also has a more experimental nature, such as the acoustic guitars[4] and ballads.[7]

Pantera - Floods (Lyrics on Screen Video 🎤🎶🎸🥁)
The intro guitar lick is one of those that sounds good the first time you hear it and knowing it will sound even better when heard again. I think this song is about a massive flood coming and washing humanity away. The song is slow and groovy throughout and is nicely written throughout, once of my favorites on the album for sure! The outro solo is really nice, it is rated as one of the best of all time (I'm not sure what number it's at). I feel like I always forget to mention Rex's bass playing and how good it is and how it carries Dim's leads. The solo starts out slow and then get's shreddy towards the end, awesome stuff! Enjoy! Oh also the outro guitar part sounds like Buckethead haha!
🎤 Lyrics 🎤
[Verse 1]
A dead issue (A dead issue)
Don't wrestle with it (Don't wrestle with it)
Deaf ears are sleeping (Deaf ears are sleeping)
A guilty bliss (Guilty bliss)
So inviting (Let me in)
Nailed to the cross
[Pre-Chorus 1]
(I feel you, relate to you, accuse you)
Wash away us all
Take us with the flood
[Chorus 1]
Then throughout the night they were raped and executed
(Then throughout the night they were raped and executed)
Cold hearted world
[Verse 2]
Your language unheard of (Your language unheard of)
The vast sound of tuning out
The rash of negativity (The rash of negativity)
Is seen one-sidedly (One-sidedly)
Burn away the day
[Pre-Chorus 2]
(The nervous, a drifting, the heaving)
Wash away us all
Take us with the flood
[Chorus 2]
Then throughout the day, mankind played with grenades
(Then throughout the day, mankind played with grenades)
Cold hearted world
And at night they might bait the pentagram
(And at night they might bait the pentagram)
Extinguishing the sun
[Bridge]
Wash away a man, take him with the flood
Flood
Flood
[Guitar Solo]
Flood
Flood
[Instrumental Outro]
*Genius.com Annotations*
"Wash away us all
Take us with the flood"
*In this line, singer Phil Anselmo is alluding to the flood described in the book of Genesis in the Bible. All the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened. – Genesis 7:11
God detested how evil men had become and used a giant flood to wash them all away. Anselmo seems to be alluding that the same thing should be happening today.*
"Guitar Solo"
*This guitar solo by ‘Dimebag’ Darrell Abbott is one of his most well-known solos in metal, and arguably one of the best he’s done. Both he and bassist Rex Brown had some things to say about it.
That particular solo was thought-out in a more orchestrated fashion than some of the others I play where I just start ripping right off the bat. The thing that really makes the ‘Floods’ solo come across like it does is [bassist] Rex’s playing behind it. He’s using his fingers and he plays a whole bunch of cool licks and shit in there. He definitely adds to the vibe and feel of my lead because I’m playing off his part a lot—it was a great foundation for me to build on, man. -Dimebag Darrell on his legendary solo.
That was one of my favorite bass lines on that song. We’d rehearsed it a couple of times and Dime and I sat down for quite a while with that. It was more of trying to get yourself in a mellow mood. It’s a blazing solo with a really cool rhythm section underneath it. I’m really proud of the bass line. I think that was Dime’s favorite solo on that song. -Rex Brown on the song.*

Pantera - Living Through Me Hell's Wrath (Lyrics on Screen Video 🎤🎶🎸)🥁
I like the main lick a lot in this one, a steady chugger with nice rhythm behind it. It sounds like Phil is pissed about something or someone, somebody probably pissed him off. Also the song talks about dropping a needle which I feel is about Phil's heroin use, the lyric scheme is hard foe me to interpret haha. The chorus sounds like how it feels to be coming down from heroin or the effects of the withdrawals. The spoken word part is interesting and I think is about Phil's subconscious telling him what he needs to do to beat his addiction. Enjoy!
🎤 Lyrics 🎤
[Verse 1]
I cannot take the take
Your condition was nod awake
A selfish crier, boldface liar
Robbing all of what you could take in
Stabbed towards a death
A dirty smelling girl
Shit decisions, no provisions
Filling veins with juice of chaos
[Chorus 1]
Painted face, olive drab, swollen hole, empty bag
Sunken eyes, whining dog
It's times like this you should pray for never
[Chorus 2]
I broke your fucking mold
Then threw away the cast
[Verse 2]
New religion and new provisions
It's amazing you're alive
Drop the needle and stop what you're changing into
Erase the end dissolving, disgrace is needed more
So I mended severed ties
Through flesh we cauterized
The undeserving, sliming, writhing
I filled you up with watered promise
[Chorus 1]
Painted face, olive drab, swollen hole, empty bag
Sunken eyes, whining dog
It's times like this you should pray for never
[Chorus 3]
Spitting teeth, oral lust, alley fuck
Angel dust, anal whore, bleeding knees
It's times like this to pray for murder
[Verse 3]
So now I've seen it all
Hells' wrath
No man has greater glory
Because now you're living through me
So I'm done with saving you
A gift unto myself
A tired savior, a wasted favor
And I'm lucky I'm alive
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 1]
[Outro]
So now I've seen it all
Hells' wrath
No man has greater glory
Because now you're living through me
*A selfish crier, boldface liar
Robbing all of what you could take in*
"Anselmo is talking about the things addiction does to you. Being selfish, self-loathing, lying.
“Robbing all that you could take in” can have a double meaning, as in the person physically stealing things to fund the habit, or the drug robbing you emotionally; having all of your thoughts centered around it."
*Shit decisions, no provisions
Filling veins with juice of chaos*
"Saying that the drug use led to multiple bad decisions from which you had nothing to gain."
“Filling veins with juice of chaos” refers to intravenous drug use. The drug being “a juice of chaos”, stuff that messes up your life."
*Spitting teeth*
"Many drug addicts' teeth rot, due to the effects of the drugs they take and/or because they no longer take care of basic hygiene."
*oral lust, alley fuck
Angel dust, anal whore, bleeding knees*
"Some drug addicts will resort to prostitution in order to have money for their next fix."
*No man has greater glory
Because now you're living through me
So I'm done with saving you
A gift unto myself
A tired savior, a wasted favor
And I'm lucky I'm alive*
"The “me” here is God. The idea is that people addicted to drugs have such increased odds of death from overdose or getting involved in criminal activity that they are only alive because God has protected them. The favor is “wasted” because he has continued to use drugs despite being given another chance."
"Phil Anselmo suffered a back injury which led to an addiction to pain pills so that he could keep up his heroic stage presence. He kept needing more powerful opioids leading him to become isolated from the rest of the band."
"The isolation caused by and mixed with the addition lead Anselmo to abuse heroin."
"This was a major reason for the break up of Pantera. Anselmo goes into detail about his injury, his heroin abuse, and Pantera’s break up when talking to students at Loyola University."

I am led to believe that this song is about the people and what ultimately led Phil to considering suicide in the first place. The lick at 1:09 is real nice. You can hear the agony and pain in Phil's voice and can just tell he is in a bad spot. The solo is interesting and sounds like a video game laser gun 1:50 especially haha it's awesome. The outro lick is trippy and is also very nice, Dime can really make some crazy sounds on the guitar haha. Enjoy!

[Verse 1]
Out of my mind, gun up to the mouth
No pretension, execution
Live and learn, rape and turn
Fret not family, nor pre-judged army
This is for me, and me only
Cowards only try it
[Chorus]
Don't you try to die, like me
It's livid and its lies and makes graves descending
[Verse 2]
It's not worth the time to try
To replenish a rotting life
I'll end the problem, facing nothing
Fuck you off, fuck you all
Tortured history, addict of misery, this exposes me
For weakness is a magnet - watch me do it, do it
[Chorus]
Don't you try to die, like me
It's livid and it's lies
Makes graves descending down
[Verse 3]
Why would you help anyone who doesn't want it?
Doesn't need it, doesn't want your shit advice
When a mind's made up to go ahead and die
What's done is done and gone, so why cry?
[Bridge]
Tortured history, addict of misery, this exposes me
For weakness is a magnet - watch me do it, do it, do it
[Refrain 2]
Don't you try to die, like me
It's livid and its lies
Make graves descending down
"Phil Anselmo is saying that killing himself is for him because it’s only for cowards, or so some say as they believe it’s an escape from the hardships of life. He could also be referring to people using “cowardly” methods such as slitting wrists, OD'ing, etc."

I remember hearing this a long time ago and having it on repeat for a very long time, dark times haha! The intro again is very eerie and doesn't sound like a typical Pantera tune. Then the acoustic lick hits and sets the feel for the song. You can tell Phil's battle with addiction is taking quite the toll on him, I remember him talking about it at a Q&A and how it comes out through the music. The song is very sad, hearing someone who is losing the battle with addiction and is powerless to beat it. Great song, enjoy!

[Verse 1]
Cheap cocaine, a dry inhale
The pills that kill and take the pain away (Take the pain away)
Diet of life, shelter without
The face that cannot see inside yours and mine (Yours and mine)
[Pre-Chorus]
When I'm hiding
When I need it, it lets me breathe
For our handle on this life
I don't believe this time
[Chorus]
Would you look at me now? (Would you look at me now?)
Can you tell I'm a man? (Can you tell I'm a man?)
With these scars on my wrists
To prove I'll try again
[Post-Chorus]
Try to die again
Try to live through this night
Try to die again
[Verse 2]
Forever fooling, free and using
Sliding down the slide that breaks a will (Breaks a will)
Mother's angel, getting smarter
How smart are you to regress unfulfilled?
(How smart are you to regress unfulfilled?)
It's a damn shame
[Pre-Chorus]
When I'm hiding
When I need it, it lets me breathe
For our handle on this life

This song has a fat ass donkey kong sounding drum beat in the beginning which is awesome. I never knew Phil was saying 'whores' in the beginning haha. I think the song is about drugs and being addicted, at least that's the vibe I get from it. Maybe the 13 steps is like a 12 step program but then one more step to no where because the treatment didn't work. Dime's riffing at the end is really nice, he can do some crazy shit with a guitar. Part of it reminds me of a sound I've heard on a tool song I think haha. Enjoy!
🎤 Lyrics 🎤
[Chorus 1]
Whores
Whores
Whores
[Verse 1]
Your windows boarded up
Your private lives exposed
The talk shows pump it up
Lab rats diseased for show
We're doomed to use the slang
Outbreak of drug roulette
A church burned to the ground
Not even noticed yet
[Chorus 2]
13 [x6]
Steps
(To Nowhere)
[Chorus 1]
[Verse 2]
A backwards swastika
The black skin riddled in lead
A Nazi Gangster Jew
It beats a dog that's dead
It's in to use the slang
Outbreak of gun roulette
The cross slants to the side
Will prove the damnedest yet
[Chorus 2]
[Verse 3]
The backlash dislocates
An untimely reign of death
The wolf poked with the stick
Awaits with cancerous breath
Leads to nowhere
Outsiders still suppose
There's Holy streets to roam
The truth should not surprise
Your homes were built on lies
Lies, yeah
[Chorus 2]

Pantera - 10's (Lyrics on Screen Video 🎤🎶🎸🥁)
#Pantera #TheGreatSouthernTrendkill #PanteraLyrics #MetalLyrics #DimebagDarrell #VinniePaul #Groovemetal #ThrashMetal #MetalMusic #HeavyMetal #DragTheWaters
The intro on this song is very eerie and sounds really good, then sounds even better when Vinnie's drums come in. The song overall is a very slow groovy (and heavy of course) killer of a tune. The lyric scheme I believe is about Phil's addiction to heroin and how it is slowly defeating him. It's always sad to hear someone has fallen to addiction especially something like heroin, glad he's off it now. Enjoy!
🎤 Lyrics 🎤
[Verse 1]
My skin is cold
Transfusion with somebody
Morose and old
Drop into fruitless dying
It was tempting and bared
The whoring angel rising
Now burning prayers
My silent time of losing
[Chorus]
My foes - they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself
[Verse 2]
Long for the blur
We cannot dry much longer
Cement to dirt
Disgusted with my cheapness
[Chorus]
My foes - they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself
My foes - they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself
My foes - they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself
My foes - they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself
"Phil speaks in general about heroin and its effects on people. This drug is highly addictive and makes you age fast, bringing you to a death without “fruits” (because you spent your life doing nothing productive but drugs). “Transfusion with somebody” probably refers to groups of junkies who share the same syringe."
"Heroin is compared to a double-edged sword: at first sight, it may seem like an angel which raises you to a peaceful state of ecstasy, but then it takes over you, making your prayers useless. At this point, you can’t do anything but stay silent and accept your faith."
"Even if he’s living in these horrible conditions, Phil is conscious about the fact that he can’t let his demons take control of him and expresses the constant fight between these two faces, which is harder and harder over time. Phil’s life is falling to pieces too as this fight goes on and on without an ending."
"Phil can’t stand up against his addiction and always ends up looking for the mental and physical inhibition that heroin gives to him."
"Heroin has the power to crumble Phil, transforming him into an extremely weak man (he goes from being hard as cement to being friable as dirt). Phil feels so guilty of his inability to win against his enemy too."
"Even if he’s living in these horrible conditions, Phil is conscious about the fact that he can’t let his demons take control of him and expresses the constant fight between these two faces, which is harder and harder over time. Phil’s life is falling to pieces too as this fight goes on and on without an ending."

I really like this song haha. The intro is perfect with the lick and the cowbell just playing which transitions into the full band sound, awesome! The lyric scheme sounds like Phil is pissed at someone who is rich and has power (go figure hehe). He talks about some guy getting his sentence reduced and how the guy's dad is rich and pulls strings. I think drag the waters refers to the guy just biding his time not knowing eventually justice will check him. I could be completely wrong haha if you know what drag the waters means let me know! The drums and everything is heavy as fuck at 2:37 those two hits are huge sounding! Enjoy!
🎤 Lyrics 🎤
A smack on the wrists is the words
From the mouth of the outsiders, lawyers, police
A small price to pay for the dope and the guns and the rape
It should all be O.K
Your father is rich, he's the judge, he's the man
He's the God that got your sentence reduced
But in the back of his mind, he well knows
What he'd find if he looked a little deeper in you
In you
[Chorus][x2]
Drag the waters some more
Like never before
[Verse 2]
Sweet is the slice and the lips
You're going to have that woman
She is your favorite lay
Promised you swore that no one had been there, and
She was going to keep it that way
Let it move in, you got thin, and got high, and
Your money went and so did your friends
But she's by your side, and her smile cannot hide
The premonition of the beckoning end
The end
[Chorus][x12]
[Outro]
In with it, out with it
The reference to the smack on a wrist indicates a minor punishment for a minor infringement. Applied to the rest of the line, the smack is used as an idiom, indicating that the accused in question will not be punished severely, such as having to pay a fine rather than serve jail time.
While certainly ironic (“It should all be OK”), these lines both condemn the penal system for not reducing extreme crimes and provide the perspective of the offender. The second of these two lines also serves dual roles as a response to the “small price to pay” and as a transition into the next line, which addresses the nepotism found within the legal system by directly addressing the accused and his/her relationship with a member of the legal system.

The Great Southern Trendkill is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on May 7, 1996 through East West Records. It reached number 4 on the Billboard 200 chart, and stayed on the chart for 16 weeks. Phil Anselmo recorded the vocals alone at Trent Reznor's Nothing Studios in New Orleans[3] while Dimebag Darrell, Rex Brown, and Vinnie Paul recorded the music at Chasin Jason Studios in Dalworthington Gardens.
Considered Pantera's most aggressive album,[4] The Great Southern Trendkill is known for featuring much screaming,[5][6] most notably on "Suicide Note Pt. II" and "The Great Southern Trendkill" while also featuring some of the fastest tempos and most down-tuned guitars ("The Underground in America" and "(Reprise) Sandblasted Skin" were played in standard D flat tuning, with the 6th string tuned to a low G flat.)[citation needed] that the band ever recorded. It also has a more experimental nature, such as the acoustic guitars[4] and ballads.[7]
Unlike Pantera's first three major label albums, the vocals are often double-tracked and layered to create a more "demonic" effect.[citation needed] An example of this can be heard in the chorus of "13 Steps to Nowhere", when Phil Anselmo's singing voice is backed up by high-pitched screaming, done by Seth Putnam of the band Anal Cunt.[8] Screams done by Anselmo on the song "The Great Southern Trendkill" were compared to Putnam.[9]
The lyrical themes on The Great Southern Trendkill include drugs, a flood that ends mankind, finding deeper meaning, anger, and the media.[4][7][10][11][12][13] The album features elements of thrash metal[5][14] and death metal,[9] but is mostly considered a groove metal album overall.[5]
On August 12, 2016, Pantera announced the release of a 20th anniversary edition of The Great Southern Trendkill for October 21.[18] The reissue features two discs, including a remastered version of the original album as well as 12 unreleased tracks (these include instrumentals, as well as alternative mixes and live recordings from the Dynamo Festival in 1998).[19] In addition, a separate LP named The Great Southern Outtakes was released. It consists of songs also released on disc 2 of Trendkill's reissue except for the intro and early mix of "Suicide Note Part l".[20]

This one comes out with a nice solid lick and groovy tom beat. Pantera always has a unique an entertaining way of opening songs. It then goes into a heavier part and then the track is left to breathe. You can tell Phil is very bothered by the media and music industry in this one lol. I'm not sure what was going on at the time with Pantera but it sounds like the media was really trying to paint them as something they're not. I can feel the hate in Phil's voice in every lyric. Enjoy!
🎤 Lyrics 🎤
[Verse 1]
(Truly, truly, truly, truly, truly, truly, truly, truly)
Truly fuck the world for all it's worth
Every inch of planet Earth
Fuck myself, don't leave me out
But don't get involved, don't corner me
Inside, ulcer
Unjust bastards
File out, face first
Meet the lies and see what you are
[Chorus]
It's forcing you down
And it's grinding against you
Let the war nerve break!
Ugh!
[Post-Chorus 1]
For every fucking second the pathetic media pisses on me and judges what I am in one paragraph
Look here, bluh, fuck you all!
[Verse 2]
(Expect, expect, expect, expect, expect, expect)
Expect the worse, you bleeding heart
But kill me first before it starts
Yes, my cock is getting hard
We are born different after all
Invite mayhem
Produce weapons
Shoot out, burn down
No CNN or media now
[Chorus]
It's forcing you down
And it's grinding against you
Let the war nerve break!
Ugh!
[Post-Chorus 2]
All the money in the fuckin' world couldn't buy me a second of trust or one ounce of faith in anything you're about
Fuck you all
[Bridge]
Nothing is worth the sleep that I've lost
Apologies unacceptable now
A blistered revenge awaits in me
This is fucking loveless
Ow!
[Outro]
Hate!
Hate!
Hate!
Hate!
Hate!
Hate!
Hate!
Hate!
Hate mail is not read, in jail instead
Hate!
Hate!
Hate!
Hate!
The Lord knows there's worse
Ignore this curse
Huah!
Ah, ah, ah, fuck you all!
The second song off of Pantera’s eighth studio effort, The Great Southern Trendkill, “War Nerve” is a song where Phil Anselmo lashes out at the media and its ad hominem statements pertaining towards him.
At the time, Anselmo was starting to become addicted to painkillers and other substances, and it didn’t help the public’s perception of him. Thus, he made the lyrics with the intent on putting any bad rumors to rest.
It is one of the most lyrically aggressive songs in Pantera’s entire discography, full of profane language and complemented by Dimebag Darrell’s guitar wizardry.

This one opens real nice thrashy and screamy haha, how an album should open! Pantera lets you know they're there haha love the intro in this one. This song is in my opinion about MTV and how it is all corrupt and shitty recycled music. That the MTV 'musicians' just copy and rip off other good musicians just to make a profit. MTV is bullshit and is pissed about it I feel is the summary of this song haha. Dimes guitar at 1:53 sounds so good, classic dime tone! Enjoy!
🎤 Lyrics 🎤
[Verse 1]
It's wearing on my mind
I'm speaking all my doubts aloud
You rob a dead man's grave
Then flaunt it like you did create
[Chorus 1]
If I hit bottom and everything's gone
In the great Mississippi, please drown me and run
[Bridge 1]
It's digging time again
You're nurturing the weakest trend
[Chorus 2]
Those with the heart and the brain to get past this
Can spot a pathetic without even asking
[Verse 2]
Fuck your magazine, and
Fuck the long dead plastic scene
Pierce a new hole
If Hell was "in" you'd give your soul to
[Chorus 3]
The Great Southern Trendkill
That's right
The Great Southern Trendkill
[Verse 3]
Buy it at a store
From MTV to on the floor
You look just like a star
It's proof you don't know who you are
[Chorus 1]
If I hit bottom and everything's gone
In the great Mississippi, please drown me and run
[Bridge 2]
It's bullshit time again
You'll save the world within your trend
[Chorus 2]
Those with the heart and the brain to get past this
Can spot a pathetic without even asking
[Verse 3]
Politically relieved
Your product sold and well received
The right words spun in gold
If I was God you'd sell your soul to
[Chorus 3]
The Great Southern Trendkill
That's right
The Great Southern Trendkill, fuck yeah!
Huah!
[Breakdown]
Let's do this one Southern style
"Anselmo hates that many of their contemporary musicians were selling out to appeal to a larger audience like the record companies wanted, and were betraying their roots (“Politically relieved, your product sold and well received”). He feels their music often seems to lack passion and be more of a product to be sold than a piece of art, which is what music should be.
Anselmo even jokingly says that if he was God (here meaning the record company that these sellouts have to betray their roots for), they would ironically have to try to be like Pantera (symbolized as the southern trendkill snake). They would have to get on the Pantera bandwagon against the bandwagon."

🎤 Lyrics Start 🎤
[Verse 1]
There's a place that I keep deep inside me
It can trigger my mind
All along I knew it has been with me
Since I was just a child
I just summon power within my soul
It has given me life, beyond life
I take blame for my murderous problem
My signature always reminds
[Chorus]
It's a message in blood
It's your cryptic warning
Within the message in blood
Marks the years of pain
And your godforsaken ending to life
[Verse 2]
I'm provoked into sick confrontations
Brutal time after time
Bed of nails, suffocation, life's ending
Slay in different designs
One man's misery is another man's mystery
No one cares to understand my demented means
Sticks and stones can break all your brittle bones
Epitaph written at your feet
[Chorus]
It's a message in blood
It's your cryptic warning
Within the message in blood
Marks the years of pain
And your godforsaken ending to life
[Solo]
[Chorus]
It's a message in blood
It's your cryptic warning
Within the message in blood
Marks the years of pain
And your godforsaken ending to life
[Refrain]
Message in blood, message in blood
Message in blood, message in blood

Cowboys from Hell is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on July 24, 1990 by Atco Records. It marked the band's major label debut and their first collaboration with producer Terry Date. It is considered one of the first ever groove metal albums.[6]
Writing sessions for Cowboys from Hell took place throughout 1988 and 1989. After being turned down "28 times by every major label on the face of the Earth", Atco Records representative Mark Ross was asked by his boss, Derek Shulman (who was interested in signing Pantera), to see the band perform after Hurricane Hugo stranded him in Texas. Ross was so impressed by the band's performance that he called his boss that night, suggesting that Pantera be signed to the label.[3]
Ross on the performance:
"By the end of the first song, my jaw was on the floor. The sonic power of it all — the attitude and the musicianship — blew me away. Basically, you had to be an idiot to not think they're amazing. I mean, how could you see these guys and not think, 'Holy shit!'?"[7]
Atco Records accepted but the band had to wait a six month period before they commenced recording at Pantego Sound Studio in Pantego, Texas. Accounts vary as to how long the recording sessions of Cowboys from Hell lasted; bassist Rex Brown stated in a 2010 interview with Metal Hammer that the recording sessions took place from February to April 1990,[3] however vocalist Phil Anselmo has also claimed that the album was recorded in 1989.[1][2] Pantera's initial choice as the producer for Cowboys from Hell was Max Norman based on his work with Ozzy Osbourne. Norman, who flew to Houston to watch the band perform, initially agreed to work on the album, but right before the recording sessions started, he was offered to produce Lynch Mob's debut album Wicked Sensation instead.[8] Pantera then proposed Terry Date to produce the album on the strength of his work with Soundgarden, Metal Church and Overkill, the latter of whose latest album at the time The Years of Decay had influenced Diamond Darrell's guitar tone, as well as the band's transition away from glam/traditional heavy metal to thrash/groove metal.[9][10][11][12][13]
