Just call your kids after three of the biggest metal bands on the planet. We ranked the entire Pantera discography in order yes, even the glam albums.

Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube. Next to Metallica , Pantera is perhaps one of the most influential and beloved metal bands to ever walk the earth. As a band, Pantera brought a level of aggression to metal that was sorely lacking in and around the early s.
Each has its own magic and uniqueness, from the classic Cowboys From Hell to the okay-but-still-decent Reinventing The Steel. Reinventing The Steel was the last studio album Pantera released. It is just something of a mixed bag. In this respect, Anselmo was remote working on the album. Cowboys From Hell was the album that put Pantera on the map. And pretty much every single other track on the album. Released in , Cowboys From Hell cemented Pantera as one of the heaviest metal bands in operation.
A lot of this is down to production. I would always advise any new, potential fans to start their journey with Cowboys.
But in terms of overall heaviness, it is only third on this list…. From the guitar tone to the snare drum, the sound engineering on this album is superb.
The band also worked collectively on this record during recording, unlike on Reinventing The Steel. Metal Magic — housed in what must rate as one of the most cliched of metal album covers painted by a friend of the band — is pure glam metal, slightly rockier than that which stalked Sunset Boulevard, but not by much.
Of course, in the band were still teenagers, and fronted by Terry Glaze, a rock singer in a far slicker vein than Phil Anselmo, all too young to know any better.
More laughter inducing than vomit producing, it must be said. This is traditional heavy metal with a slight glam bent. Pantera released and sold their early albums themselves — with sales eventually reaching the mark — but times were changing. Although he claims today to have no recollection of a deal being on the table via Kiss bassist Gene Simmons, perceived wisdom is that singer Terry Glaze was involved in talks which ultimately led to his departure.
Whatever, by the time of Power Metal , Glaze was gone and New Orleans native Phil Anselmo, complete with big hair, was the man with the mic. After three such groundbreaking and essential albums as Cowboys… , Vulgar… and Far Beyond… Pantera were faced with something of a quandary.
Should they stick to their guns and deliver another high-octane set of brutal, headcrushing metal, or try to do something slightly different? Brothers Dimebag and Vinnie Paul were both keen on the latter, singer Anselmo favoured the former.
