Vulgar Display of Power

Description

Pantera’s1992 masterworkVulgar Display of Poweris arguably the heaviest album ever to debut at # 1 on theBillboardcharts and proved that heavy metal still had its place in the era of alternative rock. True to its title,Vulgar Display of Poweris a raw and unrelenting depiction of rage and hostility, brought to a head by the pummeling guitar riffs of the legendary guitaristDimebag Darrelland the militaristic snarl ofPhil Anselmo. Songs like “Fucking Hostile,” “Walk,” “This Love,” and “Mouth for War” remain amongst the most prized cuts in the metal canon.

Having long commanded upwards of $100 for a vinyl copy on eBay and long out of print on LP, Warner Bros.’ impeccable analog reissue ofVulgar Display of Poweris cut from the original analog masters and boasts extraordinary sonicsthatpresent the punchiness, definition, impact, and edges that have forever been absent on all prior editions. This pressing lays waste to the flat-sounding CD and will challenge the limits of any stereo system. Amazing!

“As for the sonics? The improvements are tenfold. Songs are airier, punchier, and more immediate. The soundstage boasts deeper grooves and better instrumental separation, which adds to the overall musical impact as Panteras brief pauses serve to amplify and augment the aggressive passages. Vinnie Pauls bruising percussion booms, the snare and bass drum coming across with muscularity and presence.”
