Review
Vulgar Display of Power (1992) solidified Pantera's huge fan base – an unholy alliance of flannel-shirt thrashers and old-school headbangers. The megawatt nation will no doubt find Far Beyond Driven even more enthralling. Dimebag Darrell's riffing (thick chunks of rhythm piled atop Vinnie Paul's militant drumming) make him the most percussive guitarist around; Philip Anselmo hoarsely bellows, and bassist Rex booms below – the whole thing achieving a kind of Aesthetics of Thud. And while Dimebag can't resist fleetfingered… Read More runs, his truly radical solos are industrial-leaning exercises in novel sound. "Throes of Rejection," "Slaughtered" and "I'm Broken" are pro-forma metal anti-poetry; the real art smolders in the noise itself. (RS 682) PAUL EVANS |
