A special 20th Anniversary edition of Pantera's legendary album, ‘Far Beyond Driven’ is set for release on March 24.
Pantera – singer Philip Anselmo, guitarist Dimebag Darrell, bassist Rex Brown and drummer Vinnie Paul - reached a major milestone in 1994 when their seventh studio album, ‘Far Beyond Driven’, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200, becoming the fastest-selling album of the group’s career and its second consecutive platinum release.
In the months after its #1 debut, the disc remained on the Billboard album rundown for seven more months and many still regard it as the heaviest album to ever top the chart.
Its 12 tracks represented a continuation of the band’s relentless, groove-heavy, musical onslaught with body-slamming tracks like first single, I’m Broken, as well as the mosh-pit classics 5 Minutes Alone and Slaughtered. Another standout track was the group’s swirling acoustic cover of Black Sabbath’s Planet Caravan, which then became a live favourite when Pantera hit the road to support the album later that year.
Fans already familiar with ‘Far Beyond Driven’ are also in for a treat with the second disc of the 20th Anniversary Edition package. Dubbed ‘Far Beyond Bootleg – Live From Donington ’94’, the disc contains Pantera's full live 40 minute set from the legendary Monsters of Rock Festival at Donington Park on June 4 1994.
