Fletchanator's comment: Before they were one of the biggest groove metal bands of the 1990s, Pantera were an unknown glam band from Texas. This is their small-time debut, with second vocalist Glaze, who would give way to Phil Anselmo when the band changed to a more heavy sound. It's almost hard to believe this is Pantera, but Darrell "Dime Bag" Abbott (RIP) is at his blistering best, shredding up the fret board. You can hear various influences, including Van Halen and KISS, and there's a hint of NWOBHM in there as well. Definitely check this one out!

Isn't it amazing how one member of a band can change the whole feel and sound of a band? I remember hearing their original stuff years ago and being disappointed.
I have yet to hear the early Pantera material, but have been wanting to for a while...Thanks for sharing!
