This was just pure fucking anger that could showed how a band can be both diverse and genuinely pissed off throughout. When the instruments themselves sound possessed and tortured, you know you have one quality album right here. I’ve always thought Dime’s solos on the slower songs were more interesting than when he shreds. Flag inappropriate error reports for deletion by moderators if they are offtopic, abusive, low quality, duplicate, etc. This really seems to be more of an experiment than a typical Pantera album. Whether or not one enjoys it, it must be respected. "The lyrics of 'War Nerve' are the most unrelentingly evil lyrics you can imagine. Spin to Win: Credits. The new Songsterr works best in modern browser. And indeed, this record transmits all the anger and the suffering that the band felt at the time: just listen to the first 10 seconds of the initial, phenomenal, The Great Southern Trendkill. Lovely. Due to tensions within the band, Phil Anselmo recorded his vocals alone at Trent Reznor's Nothing Studios in New Orleans; Dimebag Darrell, Rex Brown, and Vinnie Paul recorded the music at Chasin Jason Studios in Dallas, Texas. The guitar solo in … The record was written during the most tense phase of the band, when Phil Anselmo and the rest of the guys barely talked to each other (indeed, they recorded their respective parts in two separated studios). Now Phil and the band is actually angry, and this genuine anger proves to be very effective. His riffing actually has melody now which actually works beautifully with the rhythmic groove style and shows growth in his style, this is the first album his guitar work has kept me interested and entertained from front to back. The riffs are, as always, very inspired. Also, we have an amazing, oft-overlooked acoustic song in "Suicide Note Pt. "Its on sale at the fucking dollar store!" ‘Drag the Waters’ actually starts sort of confusingly. The bad blood flowing between Phil and Pantera at the time resulted in the Texan ensemble's angriest and most hateful opus, as it's made clear since the first second of the opening track, where Phil goes immediately all out with a visceral scream that could make burst out the lungs and the throat of an average person. I said it. Pick and install one from here. Many consider such things to work for it, and I am envious of that for I simply cannot even if I try. I guess no one ever got into Pantera for the clean tone. We may remember them by turning on the CD players and enjoying this essential disc for any metal fan, in my opinion. And, I swear, never ever has music been so in theme with such negative lyrics. The Great Southern Trendkill - PANTERA Tabbed by TooTH-PiCK (tooth-pick@usa.net) … For those that utterly despised VDoP and FBD, tread lightly with this album. TGST is fast and furious, with an instrumental outro, where Darrell and his Dean seem to communicate. Dieser The Great Southern Trendkill Test hat herausgestellt, dass das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis des genannten Produktes unser Team außerordentlich überzeugt hat. It was released in May 1996 through East West Records. GSTK contains Phil with every more inspired death metal vocals, and Dimebag becoming increasingly experimental with the whammy bar and wah pedal. It’s like the band took a collective dump with this album, figuratively and literally. Anselmo’s vocals are low and dark as hell, painting the picture of a man ready to end his own life. It’s just pathetic and pitiful, a sad reminder and omen of the nu-metal epidemic that is about to devour America and the rest of the world in the late 90s. Suicide Note Pt 2 is a good enough example, no one would ever claim that the riffs on display are particularly original or technical- or even all that interesting- but the speed, the attitude, and the furious vocal performance makes the tune a certified neck breaker. In the end, The Great Southern Trendkill (ironically a 90's release) stands as one of my all-time favorite albums, metal or otherwise. This is the sound of hardship coming back into Pantera. It's very varied, catchy and fun. Another irony is that this is supposed to have been written by Anselmo (the lyrics, that is) as a reaction against the grunge and alternative music trends that were popular in the early to mid 90s (this lofty position would later be usurped by the emerging nu-metal movement). Meanwhile, the "Suicide Note" songs probably scrape the bottom of Anselmo's desperate mind. Phil Anselmo’s vocals are no longer as authoritative and dominant as the previous three releases, but the bile and resentment he spews forth is as palpable as ever. “10’s” is my pick for the weakest track on here, it has too many of those annoying as hell micro-bends that have that Korn sound to it. So far, so good. Why not 100, you could ask? Way more effective? Dimebag once again takes center stage with the melodic sound as Brown's sound is choked out. With the band fracturing as a unit at this point, The Great Southern Trendkill, seems to have been released against the odds, those odds being Anselmo's creeping heroin addiction and failing relationship with the rest of the band. Lyrically, the album feels genuine, and I'm sure it accurately paints a picture of Anselmo's mindset at the time. The acoustic lines are quite gloomy sounding as well, although the true highlight of this song is Darrel’s agitated guitar solo, which is my pick for the best one on this album. Its especially far removed from their other material in terms of aggressive and focused attack, yet still planted enough to win the adoration of Pantera fans. After the listener gets a feeling of what the album will be like, War Nerve, Phil's angry song against the media, hits the listener with a groovy, brilliant riff, and this song is angrier than the last. I was quite proud of my find because at the time of the purchase, this album was out of print and not as easy to find (it has since been re-released and is readily available). Just about all of the instruments here sound very artificial. "War Nerve," "13 Steps to Nowhere," "Living Through Me," all straight-up, dirty, drug-fueled misanthropy against people most of us probably know. The album deals with a range of topics from fake street kids to drugs and the media. frustfreier Verpackung … While maybe not entirely mindblowing, the album stays consistent and even including Power Metal, this is the only Pantera album where I don’t need the skip button. There's also a slight decrease in the macho tough-guy posturing, but those expecting a return, lyric-wise and vocal-wise, to the "Cowboys" days will be disappointed. 2”; man, I just can’t describe how fucking lame this song is. The riffs are notably more 'sludgy' in nature, as well as taking more influence from thrash metal and southern metal, particularly Down. Coupled with the very cool outro riff, this is some of Dime’s best work. Of course it bloody is! And the solo. The band was in its worst period: too many internal disputes, Anselmo with his alcohol and drug problems mitigated the stability of the band, with the Abbott brothers suffer. Add-Ons für dieses Spiel "The Order" - Children of Nova. It sounds real. R.I.P. This wouldn't be possible without the cohesive action of Vinnie's drumming and Rex's trademark bass lines, providing a real wall of sound along with Dimebag's guitar. 'The Great Southern Trendkill'. In my opinion, if it weren't for his vocals this would have been an above average album. The Great Southern Trendkill is the eighth studio album by Pantera.It was released on May 7th, 1996 through East West Records. Anselmo's other major contribution to this album is his change is vocal style. The rhythm section is tight. This solo is too beautiful to describe. Therfore apart from the slower ballads, which are powerful in their own right, the album doesn't lose it's intensity. Therefore, there was a wonderful mixture of different arrangements, ranging from the mostly acoustic "Floods" to the ballistic and spastic "Suicide Note Pt. Combined with great riffs, it makes one hell of a record. My only complaint though is that the songs could have been arranged better on the album to not give such an awkward feel sometimes. BOTTOMLINE: There is praiseworthy things in this album and for being obscure, it should be experienced. Not only are the guitars heavy, but they are just played...better. The lyrics on this are a marked shift from their previous fits of tough-guy idiocy (Vulgar Display of Power) and the crap self-loathing / tough guy idiocy of Far Beyond Driven. Slower, heavier numbers like 'The Underground in America', 'War Nerve' and '13 Steps to Nowhere' are equally sinister and destructive, while beating the listeners to bloody pulps. "[It's]so unrelentingly dark," he told Classic Rock magazine. The 1990's were a rampant time of trends, one of the most horrid in which was the mainstream's fascination with halfwit alternative rock bands of the day. ...I am rambling a bit here, aren't I? Drag the Waters is a very riff based song that any Pantera fan who has listened to the previous albums will love. To some it up in a word, it's obscure. Mind you, it's not mindless - the energy isn't the only thing that's good about it. The title track, which is also the first song on the album, contains its fair share of groovy riffs and a solo that really lives up to the name of this song and album. Certainly, for many people it might be blasphemy, stressing the great value of his predecessors. Dimebag has shown that he has the talent, but his often mediocre work keeps otherwise decent songs like "10's" and "Drag the Waters" from taking off. The Great Southern Trendkill is groovey, raw, in-your-face, varied and angry. Phil’s voice works well and although I sometimes think the parts where the line repeats is corny, it doesn’t bother me. Phil Anselmo probably makes the biggest change in the band, putting forth some seemingly current lyrics that are relevant to this day about trends and the subversion of hipster disciples who jump on each new trend like a street walker does her clients. 1." The Great Southern Trendkill Tab by Pantera with free online tab player. This isn't really one for the faint of heart (Pantera at their worst never were) or those who prefer the old school (Cowboys From Hell is right up that road). Yet, starting from Far Beyond Driven he dared to challenge himself and his own talent by filtering his fluid, very technical style with some more atypical, whistling, ear-raping... what do you call that? Anselmo transmits his fury with tortured screams, angry and devastated growls (helped, to accentuate the violence, by the evil Seth Putnam of Anal Cunt). must be the solo he played on the track "Floods", a quirky semi-ballad with and holocaustic undertone. Both those albums were, most of the time, like placing a brick on the accelerator of a car that was suspended on a lift: sounds good, but you're never going to go anywhere. Much of the influences are very much Nu-Metal. I bring Phil up again since his influence is also prominent here in a musical fashion. Even Rex Brown makes his contributions here - the album, in particular the guitars, sound goddamn meaty, and that low end can't all be the production, can it? The album closes with the more slow heavy song "The Underground in America" and after him the speed metal song "Sandblasted Skin (Reprise)". The execution has little or nothing to do with it. So it turns out Pantera wouldn't release any albums I like front to back (maybe their glam stuff but I'm really not interested to track that stuff down) and sadly their legacy in my eyes comes down to a very mixed bag career of solid tracks and songs that aren't worth the amount of space they occupy on the internet. Rex and Vinnie are solid in their respective roles as usual, and the quartet works wonderfully in harmony. However the only one of these i see as possible filler is 13 Steps to Nowhere. Now, why would anyone in metal music (a genre that is already more than too often referred to as "noisy" from common people, even when they are talking about Metallica and the Irons) adopt such a style, when everything before was going just so well, if not because he's had enough and doesn't give a shit anymore? 28,286 views, added to favorites 158 times.

Still simplistic but far more forgivable. This is Pantera at their musical peak. There's some interesting riffing and grooves on the song but the somewhat unbalanced sound mixing during the verse sections, placed Phil's vocals at the forefront, to the detriment of the guitars and drums.

But even in a chaotic ordeal like the one he’s putting you through, be sure, if there's a ballad, chances are good ol' Dimebag will grace your ears with some amazingly beautiful and heartfelt guitar solos. As time has moved on, I began to break apart this band's music, focusing on the albums as a whole as well as the songwriting approach taken. Dimebag Darrell's sound when you listen to the "The Great Southern Trendkill" is not natural from what I can hear. Floods is next and its the second ballad, but this one's more aggressive and has Dimebag's best solo which really suits the track. They just couldn't remaster the vinyl right, back in 2012, because they just NEEDED to use the original tapes, even though those were NOT final in the band's mind. Phil Anselmo's vocals here are his greatest ever. From Power Metal to Reinventing the Steel, Pantera's discography is one of the most consistently entertaining and enjoyable of any metal band.

The drums and bass in particular, are exceptionally weighty in sound, and the guitar tone is very distorted and thick. It seems mixed well, each instrument has it's limelight on the album, but it seems that the vocals and guitar get a tad more emphasis than drums and bass. Here was a band that was on the verge of firing their singer who cost them their popularity on the radio and MTV because of a controversial speech he made on two separate occasions during the tour for Far Beyond Driven and was struggling with heroin addiction. The snare hits and kick tones sounded exactly alike. Then begins the masterpiece: acoustic interlude, followed by (perhaps) the best solo of Dimebag Darrell’s career. Dimebag built the legendary solo in "Floods" from stuff he'd improvised onstage. KLingt alles sehr drecking und rauh. Vinnie Paul does a fucking amazing job on the drums. And metal. 7 minutes of great music: classic acoustic start, with Anselmo that interprets at his best the suffered atmosphere of the song, singing and whispering (putting the chills). "Floods" showed off the sensitive side of Pantera in a similar way that "Cemetery Gates" did in 1990. However, like with Slayer, "intelligent" was probably not how the average listener described their music; a lot of it had a down-and-dirty "don't fuck with us" attitude, which in this case was arguably as famous as the music itself. Alle in dieser Rangliste getesteten The Great Southern Trendkill sind 24 Stunden am Tag bei Amazon verfügbar und extrem schnell bei Ihnen. As if this torrent wasn't enough, the faster Living Through Me (Hell's Wrath), displays Phil's anger over his drug problem. The mix is pretty much spot on, with the low end not consuming everything else in reverb, and Phil's vocals given a good prominence in the mix, where he doesn't obscure the instruments or be consumed by the pummelling fury beneath him. Sometimes they sound like something Black Sabbath would have done, other times they may remind you of Kiss, combined with Pantera's characteristic raw groove.

I skip these if I’m listening to individual tracks, but I won’t if I pop in the CD. Its predecessors had both their weak and strong points to them, but this giant amongst them all is Pantera's most solid record to date. Hell, the last two tracks seem to be tearing up the metal cliche's of the time by ripping on music videos that feature lesbians making out at wild drunken parties while vapid commercial metal plays in the background which seems to be destroying the band's own image in the name of art. Its an evolution of Pantera's earlier sound and its the only album they nail perfectly. | The start of the album has the ripping title track, which maintains the groove metal ideology but the aggression of Pantera is kicked up a notch. The Great Southern Trendkill is easily Pantera's best album. Genres: Groove Metal. It's such a concentrated effort that it is almost a concept album, and that concept is HATE(and drugs). Like some have already said before me, this is a Pantera album for Pantera fans and non-fans alike. So despite all of the tension within the band at the time of this album that seemed to center around Phil's drug problems, this remains Pantera's best release. There are fucking sledgehammers like 'Suicide Note Pt II' or the title track, which grab the listeners by the neck, and then proceed to cave their skulls in with their barrage of screams and riffs. Other parts of this song have powerful riffs with “die, die” vocals which command control. (*cough* MegaDeth). I've saved the best for the last. “Drag the Waters” sees a more polished vocal performance, although it’s still a bit long for a groove track. If I’m listening to Pantera, I’m either nostalgic or pissed, and not only is this nostalgic for me, but it’s a good fucking angry album. I will praise that they meant to be daring and heavier than anything they have made, especially in a time of darkness. "Drag the Waters" is an imposing song despite its simple riff. This album features extensive overdubbing, but I don’t feel that it takes away from the quality at all.

Profanity aside, this album is pure, unadulterated aggression. Not the most impressive song on the album, but it works. Also, I get the feeling that they were going for a sludgy sound like Phil’s fellow New Orleans natives, Crowbar, though the finished product doesn’t quite sound like Time Heals Nothing but a completely different monster altogether. If you can grab that slippery snake! The album starts with a scream of Phil that continues to one of the most brutal song Pantera ever released, named as the title. The album signals the beginning of the end for the band as the follow-up, Reinventing the Steel is a real stinker, a cobbled together collection of recycled and tired ideas. The album mixes the classic groove metal, trademark of the Texas band, with death, thrash, doom influences and a hot and sweaty sound, clear of southern matrix.
