With its pioneering "power groove" sound, Pantera leapt onto the metal scene of 1990 with the landmark album COWBOYS FROM HELL. The Texan band distinguished itself by offering up a potent mid-tempo version of the typically fast-paced thrash metal style, resulting in a dense, crushing sound that served as a solid foundation for Phil Anselmo's dynamic growl-to-a-falsetto-in-seconds-flat voice.
Although this collection only features five tracks from the early-'90s one-two punch of COWBOYS FROM HELL and VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER, it serves as a good introduction to the band's overall output. Pantera's career from the mid-'90s onward is represented by fierce tracks such as "I'm Broken," "Becoming," "5 Minutes Alone," and "I'll Cast a Shadow," as well as covers of Black Sabbath's "Planet Caravan" and Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever."

With so many legendary riffs and mind blowing vocals this would have to be greatest “Greatest Hits” collection money can buy. Accompained with a DVD of all there videos and so live sets put this as a must have for any Pantera Fan. RIP DIME and long live Pantera
I LOVE PANTERA! one of the best damn metal bands ever, stay true to your roots and rest in peice "dimebag" (1966-2004) this CD is the best of pantera and you should go buy it if you love them, bless these boys for saving metal and being hardcore to there souls.
A Great collection of one of the great Thrash Metal bands of all time. This set comes with a CD with all the greatest tunes including “Cowboys from hell”, Cemetery Gates, Im Broken and 5 Minutes Alone. A Bonus DVD with all the Videos and a couple of live performances is also included. The Fold out case inlay also has a brief history and some stories about what the songs mean.
The premise is simple- compile the best songs spanning Pantera's awesome career. And frankly, this CD/DVD accomplishes just that. The bonus DVD is quite a treat- especially the live performances of Domination and Primal Concrete Sledge- and makes it a worthwhile purchase for any Pantera fan. A worthwhile addition to any Post Thrash fan's collection!
A great collection of the best songs from post-thrash legends pantera. I allready own all of Pantera's albums but I bought this one for the bonus dvd tracks. The dvd tracks are great, some live videos and some music videos. Classic songs include "Cemetary Gates", "This Love" and "Planet Caravan".
Great compilation of Pantera's masterpieces ever created including 12 Bonus DVD clips with Domination Live which is a true reflection of the master magician in true form live!!! A must get for any PanterA fans
