Pantera
Reinventing The Steel

The ninth and final studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on March 21, 2000. Singer Phil Anselmo named Reinventing the Steel as his favorite Pantera album. I recommend.

Perhaps this album was a turning point, not only because Pantera became noticeably rougher, tougher and sharper, but also thanks to a pronounced (certainly within the framework of style) melody, which, unfortunately, will fade in a couple of years, giving way to a prickly and uncomfortable guitar moves and wild cries. Of course, in the future Pantera will delight its listeners with things like "This Love" ("Vulgar Display Of Power", 1992) or "Suicide Note Pt. I" ("The Great Southern Trendkill", 1996), but they can never compare with " Cemetary Gates "in a nobly gloomy spirit. What about the killer Cowboys From Hell or Psycho Holiday? Dare to forget the "Primal Concrete Sledge", where Anselmo sings with a machine gun speed (does not growl!), And with great diction, and Winnie Paul and Rex Brown furious cardan shaft and fierce bass destroy the whole galaxy, "Heresy" and "Clash With Reality" , where Dimbag Darrell shows himself in all its glory (as, indeed, on the whole album)? Very, very vain, you won’t hear such a Panther: even if the style contemporary to that period in the group’s history will only become heavier and heavier, but some charm is that charm that Pantera had on the previous “Power Metal” (1988 ), but on “Cowboys from Hell”, fortunately, it was preserved, somewhere, alas, it will evaporate. It's a pity...
