Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
For Pantera, rage flows like water from a tap. Far Beyond Driven vents the band's animosity in a maelstrom of hateful harangues fuelled by thunderous drumbeats, piercing guitar noise, and raw-throated vocals. --Jon Wiederhorn
CD Description
Not since the last asteroid collision with planet Earth untold eons ago has there been a apocalyptic event to equal themusical Krakatoa that is Pantera's FAR BEYOND DRIVEN. Walking a stylistic line somewhere between the melodious crunch pop of Metallica and the punkish thrashorama of Helmet, Pantera channels their raging energy into songs that function as aural letterbombs from hell--designed to detonate in your face. Never have records quite as rude as FAR BEYOND DRIVEN (or Nine Inch Nail's THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL) broken out at #1 on the Top 200 of Billboard's pop charts. There must be a reason.
Immerse yourself in the first single off of FAR BEYONDDRIVEN, the thrashing "I'm Broken", and you'll get a good idea as to the method behind Pantera's madness--and what makes them such trendsetters in the thermonuclear epoch after heavy metal, speed metal and thrash have run their course. Thearrangement opens with a classic Led Zeppelin rifforama (almost a blues figure); then they ride along on a single chordover an odd, slightly spastic rhythm figure a la Helmet; finally they allow these conflicting notions of noise to collide in hyperspace, setting the stage for a pithy, pulverisingguitar orgasm by Dimebag Darrell that is blissfully melodic, almost in spite of itself.
Or check out "Use My Third Arm", a terrifying journey into the world of police brutality. Vocalist Phillip Anselmo froths and rants like an enraged Electrolux, sucking in noise and spewing out hostility over Dimebag's jittery power-riffs. Drummer Vinnie Paul turns popular rhythm conventions on their head, letting the bass and guitar carry the carnage while choosing to spray short bursts of small arms fire in an arrhythmic fury like a deranged dixieland drummer. When Pantera finally tucks us all in with an affectionate cover of Black Sabbath's "Planet Caravan", it's as if they're trying to recollect a romantic folk song from some bygone era. As for the rest of FAR BEYOND DRIVEN...well, you want heavy--this is heavy.
