For our Out Of Print Music this week we have the very first Pantera demo/album, Metal Magic. I know you Pantera fans that don't have this were hoping it was coming up after I posted Power Metal. Those of you who don't know the past of Pantera are probably wondering what the big deal is. This release with former lead singer Terry "Terance Lee" Glaze is a far cry from the Pantera of Far Beyond Driven. This is Pantera in full grip of their Glam Metal influences. This album and the 2 that follow, Projects In The Jungle & I Am The Night (yes to be posted soon too) sound more like On Through The Night era Def Leppard (with a firm agreement from m that the first 2 Leppard albums are their best). Terry Glaze can hit the high notes that Phillip Anselmo can't. Those high pitched screams on Cowboys From Hell killed his voice when Pantera started to Road Dog it to promote their official debut. On this album and the next 2 following you get to hear Diamond Darrell out play every guitar player in the 1980's Glam/Hair Metal craze as his brother Vinnie lays waste to their drummers. If these guys had followed this path into stardom we may not have had a lot of those Glam/Hair bands. Their guitarists would through their guitars away or go back to the drawing board. Also the sound and influence of the band Exhorder may not have escaped the Metal underground.
