🎼9 April 1994. Far Beyond Driven 👆 album by Thrash Groove Metal 😈🤘 band Pantera goes straight to number 1 in US Charts. It's an important mark for the entire Heavy Metal scene because it's the first time ever that an album so "violent" and extreme peaks the Charts ! 🔥🎸
#Pantera at the time were at the 🔝 of their popularity and were a terrific live act. I can personnally confirm this, since I saw them live 5 times in the nineties 🤟👹
In the Chat Room👇I post the first single extracted from the album plus a photo of the Men! As always you can post your favorite song from that album if you have any 😃
#9April

🎼30 June 1968. Happy Birthday to Mr. Phil Anselmo 🥳🍾, born Philip Hansen Anselmo in New Orleans, Lousiana, USA.
A former shrimp boat worker, his family was longtime running "The Anselmo's", an Italian restaurant of clear Sicily origins until Hurricane Katrina came to devastate the city.
Incidentally he has also been vocalist 🎙🗣 and frontman for #Pantera (1 of my🔝all time favorite 😁) until they disbanded, then for Down, Superjoint Ritual, Scour, Phil Anselmo & The Illegals.
We cross paths everytime he comes to Italy since 1992 and I want to remember him on the day he turned 30 in Summer 1998 in Milan... he's always been a good guy👇😉😈#PhilAnselmo #vocalist #30June

#DimebagDarrell #Pantera

The nervous, the drifting
The heaving
Wash away us all
Take us with the floods

Then throughout the day
Mankind played with grenades

Cold hearted world
And at night
They might bait the pentagram
Extinguishing the sun

Wash away man
Take him with the floods

👉 Pantera, 7 May 1996
