7th album from 1994 by the American PANTERA, one of the most influential bands in the history of modern Metal. “Far Beyond Driven” pushed the band's aggression and heaviness to new extremes, becoming the most brutal and uncompromising release of their career up to that point, while retaining the groove and personality that had already defined their previous works.
The album combines Dimebag Darrell’s crushing riffs, a monolithic rhythm section and one of Phil Anselmo’s fiercest vocal performances, resulting in a relentless collection of songs where aggression dominates from beginning to end. Tracks such as “Becoming”, “5 Minutes Alone”, “I'm Broken”, “Strength Beyond Strength” and “Slaughtered” showcase a band operating at the absolute peak of its creative and compositional powers.
Becoming the first extreme Metal album to debut at No. 1 on the U.S. charts, “Far Beyond Driven” firmly established PANTERA as one of the most important bands of the 1990s and an absolute reference point for generations that followed.
Recommended for fans of EXHORDER, MACHINE HEAD, SEPULTURA, LAMB OF GOD and PRONG.
