Originally founded in 1981 by rhythm guitarist Scott Ian and bassist Danny Lilker, who were joined by singer Neil Turbin, lead guitarist Dan Spitz and drummer Charlie Benante, Anthrax were among the first bands across the thrash metal threshold thanks to their 1984 debut LP, ‘Fistful of Metal.’ But it wasn’t until Joey Belladonna and Frank Bello replaced Turbin and Bello, respectively, that the quintet found the perfect lineup with which to rampage through the ‘80s, armed with seminal albums like ‘Spreading the Disease,’ ‘Among the Living,’ and their pioneering rap-metal single, ‘I’m the Man,’ which led to an even more groundbreaking fusion with Public Enemy and ‘Bring the Noise.’ The band shifted creative gears during the 1990s, swapping Belladonna for ex-Armored Saint singer John Bush, and their commercial fortunes steadily waned. But with renewed interest building in the third millennium, a classic lineup reunion and numerous Big Four concerts reenergized the Anthrax band, which remains strong today.”,”post_count”:565,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/anthrax/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/anthrax/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:470,”object_id”:0},{“id”:432,”slug”:”avenged-sevenfold”,”title”:”Avenged Sevenfold”,”description”:”Avenged Sevenfold are one of the most successful American heavy metal bands of the third millennium, with an estimated 8 million copies sold of their six studio albums.

This saw the band, consisting of singer M. Shadows, guitarists Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeance, bassist Johnny Christ and drummer James “The Rev” Sullivan, embracing a more traditional hard rock and metal sound that persists on subsequent releases. Sullivan died from a drug overdose in 2009, prompting the temporary recruitment of Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy for the recording of 2010’s ‘Nightmare.’ Another blockbuster album, 2013’s Billboard number one, ‘Hail to the King, followed in 2013 and introduced new drummer Arin Ilejay.”,”post_count”:503,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/avenged-sevenfold/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/avenged-sevenfold/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:439,”object_id”:0},{“id”:760,”slug”:”behemoth”,”title”:”Behemoth”,”description”:””,”post_count”:174,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/behemoth/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/behemoth/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:769,”object_id”:0},{“id”:327,”slug”:”black-sabbath”,”title”:”Black Sabbath”,”description”:”Black Sabbath are the undisputed godfathers of heavy metal. Beginning with their eponymous debut and seminal sophomore LP, ‘Paranoid’ (both released in 1970), the quartet from Birmingham, England, coalesced the scattered contributions of numerous bands (from Blue Cheer to Led Zeppelin) into the powerful, uncompromising and surprisingly malleable style we recognize today. After a succession of influential albums, Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward parted ways with singer Ozzy Osbourne in 1979, and, for a brief time, enjoyed nearly as much success with former Rainbow vocalist Ronnie James Dio, at the helm. But the band’s fortunes took a turn for the worse after Dio’s departure, steadily declining into obscurity while Osbourne’s solo career flourished, until a reunion of the original foursome was finally brokered for touring purposes in 1997, and, in 2013, for the recording of Black Sabbath’s latest album, ’13’ (minus Bill Ward).

And, not by coincidence, they are also probably the most successful purveyors of the form. Dream Theater was founded in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1985, initially as Majesty, by fellow Berklee College of Music students John Petrucci (guitar), John Myung (bass) and Mike Portnoy (drums). Together with keyboardist Kevin Moore and vocalist Charlie Dominici, the quintet recorded 1989’s When Dream and Day Unite for independent Mechanic Records — then parted ways with both the label and Dominici prior to releasing their breakthrough sophomore album, 1992’s Images and Words, introducing new singer James LaBrie. The song “Pull Me Under,” in particular, became a surprise hit for Dream Theater (still the biggest of their career), despite exceeding the eight-minute mark, and gave the band the confidence to pursue their ambitious musical template, marked by fantastic virtuosity and diversity, over a string of ‘90s albums while developing a rabid following on tour. For 1999’s conceptual Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory, Dream Theater welcomed keyboardist Jordan Rudess (replacing Derek Sherinian, who, in turn had replaced Moore in ’94), and this lineup would enjoy continued stability and success into the new millennium, thanks to acclaimed offerings like 2003’s Train of Thought and 2007’s Systematic Chaos. Not until 2010 would their winning streak be challenged by the not-quite-friendly departure of founding member and longtime band leader Mike Portnoy. But Dream Theater’s remaining lineup ultimately prevailed and still prospers today with help from new drummer Mike Mangini — their progressive metal supremacy still relatively unchallenged.”,”post_count”:228,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/dream-theater/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/dream-theater/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:522,”object_id”:0},{“id”:1120,”slug”:”gojira”,”title”:”Gojira”,”description”:””,”post_count”:152,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/gojira/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/gojira/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:1129,”object_id”:0},{“id”:569,”slug”:”iron-maiden”,”title”:”Iron Maiden”,”description”:”Iron Maiden are one of the most successful, acclaimed and important heavy metal bands in history, with a run of success that has rarely faltered over four decades, despite experiencing trying personnel issues over that time. Bassist Steve Harris founded Iron Maiden in the mid-1970s, but was waylaid for years playing in London pubs while punk rock dominated Britain’s musical zeitgeist and heavy metal was out of favor. But Harris would not be deterred and his band duly became the lynchpins of the era-defining New Wave of British Heavy Metal, with the release of their 1980 debut album and ’81’s ‘Killers,’ featuring singer Paul Di’Anno, guitarists Dave Murray and Adrian Smith, and drummer Clive Burr. Bruce Dickinson replaced Di’Anno for 1982’s ‘The Number of the Beast’ and Nicko McBrain stepped in for Burr on 1983’s ‘Piece of Mind,’ initiating a period of unmatched prosperity, backed by extensive global touring (chronicled on 1985’s ‘Live After Death’) and future standards of the genre like ‘Powerslave’ (1984), ‘Some-where in Time’ (1986) and ‘Seventh Son of a Seventh Son’ (1988). As if all this weren’t enough, the band even regaled heavy metal with one of its greatest icons, and surely its most famous mascot in Eddie the ‘ed, whose grotesque visage decorated all of their al-bum covers. Iron Maiden’s juggernaut finally hit a few speed bumps during the grunge-dominated 1990s, when first Smith, then Dickinson, departed for solo careers and were replaced by guitarist Janick Gers and vocalist Blaze Bailey, respectively, for a pair of poorly received LPs. Luckily, both Smith and Dickinson rejoined in the year 2000 for what proved to be a triumphant reunion (Bailey was fired and Gers retained in a new three-guitar front line). Now a sextet, Iron Maiden quickly regained their status atop the heavy metal firmament with best-selling albums like ‘Brave New World’ and ‘A Matter of Life and Death,’ as well as sold out tours taking them to every corner of the globe, as documented by 2009’s excellent ‘Flight 666’ documentary. When all is said and done, Iron Maiden will likely figure among the all-time giants of heavy metal, alongside Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Metallica.”,”post_count”:696,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/iron-maiden/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/iron-maiden/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:578,”object_id”:0},{“id”:278,”slug”:”judas-priest”,”title”:”Judas Priest”,”description”:”Judas Priest is one of heavy metal’s most important bands — the ultimate defenders of the style for four decades running, through periods of both acclaim and scorn, and hard-ly any interruption along the way. Hailing from the same industrial metropolis as heavy metal forefathers Black Sabbath, Birmingham, England, Priest debuted in 1974 with ‘Rocka Rolla,’ to a modest reception; but steadily grew in prowess and prominence over the course of landmark albums like ‘Sad Wings of Destiny’ (1976), ‘Stained Class’ (1978), and ‘Hell Bent for Leather’ (1978). The latter also saw the group helping to define heavy metal’s visual iconography, largely based on vocalist Rob Halford’s penchant for metal-studded accessories and leather bondage gear, which, ironically, reflected his closeted gay lifestyle. Come 1980’s pivotal ‘British Steel’ LP, a slightly more accessible metal sound helped Judas Priest turn a commercial corner in America, and ensuing hit albums like ‘Screaming for Vengeance’ (1982), ‘Defenders of the Faith’ (1984) and ‘Turbo’ (1986) saw them conquer even the once elusive radio waves, to say nothing of MTV. Then, just as their creativity and relevance appeared to be waning near the close of the decade, Priest stunned all cynics by bouncing back with one of their best and fiercest albums in 1990’s ‘Painkiller.’ The group appeared poised to flourish throughout the ‘90s until Halford surprisingly left the band to pursue other musical projects, including Fight and 2ow. Priest’s remaining members, guitarists Glenn Tipton and K.K. Down-ing, bassist Ian Hill and recently recruited drummer Scott Travis waited nearly five years for Halford, but finally carried on with a new singer — former tribute band phenom Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens — and released two albums to mixed reviews. Then, following the example set a few years earlier by fellow British metal gods, Iron Maiden, Halford and Priest reunited for 2003’s ‘Angel of Retribution’ and resumed their all-conquering ways — even surviving Downing’s retirement in 2012 with the help of new guitarist, Richie Faulkner. In sum, when all is said and done Judas Priest will likely figure among the all-time greats in heavy metal history, alongside Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Metallica.”,”post_count”:567,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/judas-priest/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/judas-priest/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:284,”object_id”:0},{“id”:472,”slug”:”killswitch-engage”,”title”:”Killswitch Engage”,”description”:”With their infectious combination of New England hardcore and Swedish death metal, Killswitch Engage became the standard bearers of the ‘00s melodic metalcore movement. Formed in Westfield, Massachusetts, following the dissolution of guitarists Adam Dutkiewicz and Joel Stroetzel’s Aftershock and bassist Mike D’Antonio and guitarist Pete Cortese’s pioneering Overcast (which had also included future Shadows Fall frontman Brian Fair) in 1999, Killswitch Engage recruited singer Jesse Leach for their eponymous debut. Released in the summer of 2000 on independent Ferret Records (and featuring Dutkiewicz on drums, prior to his replacing Cortese on guitar), the album garnered extremely positive reviews and the strong attention of mighty Roadrunner Records, which poached KsE (for short) ahead of 2002’s sophomore Alive or Just Breathing. Massively influential, this album would be a watershed for both the band and the aforementioned metalcore sub-genre they came to spearhead; but it might have been dead on arrival when frontman Leach abruptly quit, only to be replaced by the charismatic Howard Jones. With Jones at the helm and new drummer Justin Foley firmly installed, Killswitch Engage would grow from strength to strength over ensuing efforts, The End of Heartache (2004), As Daylight Dies (2006) and another self-titled album (2009), simultaneously dictating metalcore trends and transcending them once the genre began losing steam. And when Jones parted amicably with his bandmates in 2012, KsE hardly missed a beat by reconnecting with original frontman Jesse Leach for 2013’s Disarm and Descent, then carrying on with their successful touring activities. All the while the band’s chief instigator, Adam D, has built an extensive and impeccable resume as a producer for countless major acts.”,”post_count”:242,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/killswitch-engage/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/killswitch-engage/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:481,”object_id”:0},{“id”:700,”slug”:”lamb-of-god”,”title”:”Lamb of God”,”description”:”Richmond, Virginia’s Lamb of God are one America’s most popular heavy metal bands of the third millennium, with sold out concert tours, several million albums, and numerous awards bestowed upon their aggressive blend of groove, death, and mainstream metal. First founded in 1994 as Burn the Priest, a moniker under which they released an independent self-titled album five years later, the group adopted the Lamb of God name ahead of signing with Prosthetic Records and releasing the following year’s enthusiasti-cally received ‘New American Gospel’ album. Band members Randy Blythe (vocals), Duane Morton (guitar), Willie Adler (guitar), John Campbell (bass) and Chris Adler (drums) then proceeded to tour for two solid years, greatly developing their fan base before recording 2003’s ‘As the Palaces Burn,’ which won top honors from both ‘Revolver’ and ‘Metal Hammer’ magazines, and led to a major label deal with Epic Records. Lamb of God continued their inexorable career march with the following year’s ‘Ashes of the Wake,’ 2006’s Grammy-nominated ‘Sacrament,’ 2009’s ‘Wrath,’ which amazingly climbed to number two on the Billboard charts, and 2012’s ‘Resolution,’ which paved the way to the band’s most extensive global touring yet. Then, on June 27, 2012, singer Randy Blythe was arrested in Prague on accusations of inflicting bodily harm upon a fan who had died after Lamb of God’s performance in that city, two years earlier. Blythe was eventually cleared of all charges, but the incident cast a pall over the entire band and continues to haunt the musicians (including Blythe, who is working on a book) as they prepare to record Lamb of God’s next studio album, with an expected 2015 release date.”,”post_count”:552,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/lamb-of-god/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/lamb-of-god/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:709,”object_id”:0},{“id”:545,”slug”:”mastodon”,”title”:”Mastodon”,”description”:”Since their inconspicuous arrival in the year 2000, Mastodon have established themselves as one of America’s most innovative and successful heavy metal bands. Formed in Atlanta, Georgia, by former Lethargy and Today is the Day members Brann Dailor (drums/vocals) and Bill Kelliher (guitar), together with Four Hour Fogger bandmates Troy Sanders (bass/vocals) and Brent Hinds (guitar/vocals), Mastodon unveiled a highly technical extreme metal style on 2001’s impressive ‘Lifesblood’ EP. But it was the following year’s debut full-length, ‘Remission,’ that showed the full scale of Mastodon’s creative range and hinted at the accelerated rate of sonic evolution that would characterize each of their subsequent LPs. 2004’s ‘Leviathan’ was a full-fledged concept album based on Herman Melville’s ‘Moby Dick’ and was named record of the year by numerous publications (Terrorizer, Kerrang!, etc.); 2006’s ‘Blood Mountain’ witnessed Mastodon’s jump to major label status followed by their first proper world tour; and 2009’s daringly progressive ‘Crack the Sky’ brought another surge of progressive ambitions and increased melodicism that helped the group bridge the gap between metal and more mainstream-minded consumers. Mastodon would later simplify their songwriting somewhat for 2011’s ‘The Hunter’ and 2013’s ‘Once More ‘Round the Sun,’ yet their refusal to sell out or cop to reigning musical trends remains beyond doubt, thus setting them up to continue delivering American heavy metal of the highest order in years to come.”,”post_count”:341,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/mastodon/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/mastodon/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:554,”object_id”:0},{“id”:429,”slug”:”megadeth”,”title”:”Megadeth”,”description”:”Megadeth are one of heavy metal’s most successful and prolific groups, with frequently released new albums and constant touring worldwide; yet they will always be most closely associated with the ‘80s thrash metal movement, which they helped pioneer as one of the so-called Big Four, alongside Slayer, Anthrax and eternal nemesis, Metallica. It was, in fact, after his 1983 dismissal from Metallica that guitarist and vocalist Dave Mustaine launched Megadeth, with the help of bassist David Ellefson and, later, guitarist Chris Poland and drummer Gar Samuel, both of whom exited following 1986’s water-shed second album, ‘Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying?’ Personnel flux and substance abuse continued to afflict Megadeth until the early 1990s, when new members Marty Friedman (guitar) and Nick Menza (drums), helped Mustaine and Ellefson enjoy a dec-ade of creative and commercial prosperity, off the back of acclaimed albums like ‘Rust in Peace’ and ‘Countdown to Extinction.’ A change of direction and musicians, followed by a serious arm injury sustained by Mustaine temporarily stalled Megadeth’s career, but as of 2004, the tenacious guitarist has been driving Megadeth and its ever-revolving cast of backing musicians onward with his usual tenacity and talent, now widely recog-nized as one of heavy metal’s all-time most inventive guitarists.”,”post_count”:872,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/megadeth/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/megadeth/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:436,”object_id”:0},{“id”:344,”slug”:”metallica”,”title”:”Metallica”,”description”:”Metallica are arguably the most widely known and commercially successful heavy metal band of all time, with an estimated 120 million albums sold worldwide.

In the ‘90s, vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield, drummer Lars Ulrich, lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Jason Newsted (who replaced the deceased Cliff Burton, in 1986), embraced more accessible sounds and new compositional styles, to the chagrin of some diehard fans. But the band’s remarkable career momentum did not suffer until the early ‘00s, when an ill-advised skirmish with the file sharing network Napster combined with the poorly received ‘St. Anger’ album and assorted personal demons (all of them painfully documented by the infamous feature-length documentary, ‘Some Kind of Mon-ster’) to threaten the band’s future. Metallica duly recovered, however, with the help of new bassist Robert Trujillo, a back to basics LP (2008’s ‘Death Magnetic’) and a never flagging stadium-packing capacity across the globe. “,”post_count”:2240,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/metallica/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/metallica/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:351,”object_id”:0},{“id”:627,”slug”:”motorhead”,”title”:”Motorhead”,”description”:”With a career now spanning four, fast-and-furious decades and counting, England’s Motorhead aren’t just the forefathers of all varieties of speed metal, but undoubtedly among the most influential and revered heavy metal bands of all time — just don’t call them “heavy metal” to their faces. Motorhead’s long story is essentially the story of its leader, vocalist and bassist Ian ‘Lemmy’ Kilmister — except that Lemmy’s story is even longer, as he put in time as Jimi Hendrix’s roadie and a member of bands like the Rockin’ Vic-ars and space rockers Hawkwind long before even founding Motorhead in 1975. Then, for three long years, Kilmister struggled to keep Motorhead alive, but after having their first album rejected and re-recording it for another label in 1977, the band finally caught fire in 1979. That year, Lemmy, guitarist ‘Fast’ Eddie Clark and drummer Philthy ‘Animal’ Taylor delivered a pair of speed metal benchmarks in ‘Overkill’ and ‘Bomber,’ and then followed them with two of heavy music’s most essential albums in 1980’s ‘Ace of Spades’ and ’81’s ‘No Sleep ’til Hammersmith’ (which went to No. 1 in the U.K.). Clarke left Motorhead after ’82’s ‘Iron Fist’ and Taylor followed after ’83’s ‘Another Perfect Day’ (featuring Thin Lizzy guitarist Brian Robertson), but Lemmy expanded the band to a quartet with guitarists Michael ‘Wurzel’ Burston and Phil Campbell, plus former Saxon drummer Pete Gill, for 1984’s double career retrospective, ‘No Remorse,’ featuring an iconic new single named ‘Killed by Death.’ Taylor returned after 1986’s ‘Orgasmatron’ but left again in ’92 and was soon followed by Wurzel, thus returning Motorhead to its classic, power trio formation built around Lemmy, Campbell and former King Diamond drummer Mikkey Dee. From this point forward, Motorhead remained an ever dependa-ble recording and touring proposition, year in and year out: always respected for their blue-collar work ethic and colossal influence, while remaining firmly (and frustratingly) entrenched in the heavy metal underground. But in 2005, the band was awarded their first Grammy, and in 2010 Lemmy was celebrated by a feature-length, star-studded documentary that deservingly elevated both his and his band’s mainstream profile. And, though he had long before swapped dingy London for sunny Los Angeles, Lemmy remained the embodiment of the drinking, drugging, skirt-chasing rocker until health issues finally forced him to retire some bad habits in 2013. All the while, Lemmy insists on categorizing Motorhead, not as heavy metal, but as just another rock and roll band, yet, whatever they are, they are still, for the moment, indestructible.”,”post_count”:383,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/motorhead/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/motorhead/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:636,”object_id”:0},{“id”:706,”slug”:”nightwish”,”title”:”Nightwish”,”description”:””,”post_count”:62,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/nightwish/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/nightwish/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:715,”object_id”:0},{“id”:630,”slug”:”opeth”,”title”:”Opeth”,”description”:””,”post_count”:140,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/opeth/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/opeth/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:639,”object_id”:0},{“id”:288,”slug”:”ozzy-osbourne”,”title”:”Ozzy Osbourne”,”description”:”The notorious “heavy metal madman,” singer Ozzy Osbourne is perhaps the most celebrated and widely recognized artist to ever work in the heavy metal sphere. Born on December 3, 1948, in the Aston neighborhood of Birmingham, England, Osbourne became a founding member of Black Sabbath, which laid the very foundation for heavy metal with their early ‘70s albums, including essential titles like ‘Paranoid,’ ‘Master of Reality’ and ‘Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.’ After parting ways with Sabbath acrimoniously in 1978, Osbourne embarked on an initially discredited solo career, only to turn the tables on his former bandmates (who had enjoyed an immediate rebirth with his replacement, Ronnie James Dio, before falling on hard times themselves) with the help of guitar hero Randy Rhoads, and hit albums like ‘Blizzard of Ozz’ and ‘Diary of a Madman.’ Not even Rhoads’ tragic death in an airplane crash could derail Osbourne’s newfound career momentum — though Ozzy himself sure gave it his best shot, via his chronic drug abuse and infamous antics that ranged from urinating on the Alamo to biting off the heads of assorted flying creatures. Another hot shot guitarist, Jake E. Lee, backed Os-bourne for two strong albums, 1983’s ‘Bark at the Moon’ and ’86’s ‘The Ultimate Sin,’ before giving way to Zakk Wylde for 1988’s ‘No Rest for the Wicked’ and 1991’s career highlight ‘No More Tears,’ after which Osbourne announced his retirement. But this lasted all of a few months, and by 1995 the singer had a new solo album, ‘Ozzmosis,’ in record stores and was soon to embark on the first of his annual Ozzfests (devised with manager and wife Sharon Osbourne), which became the preeminent heavy metal festi-val of the ensuing decade and, among other things, accelerated his touring reunion with Black Sabbath. The band might have also resumed their recording activities in 2002, if not for the breakaway success of the reality TV show, ‘The Osbournes,’ which transformed Ozzy from heavy metal legend to mainstream celebrity, and convinced him to devote the third millennium’s first decade to more solo albums and tours, instead of Sabbath. Finally, 2011 saw the seminal old band’s official reunion (minus drummer Bill Ward) for the recording of 2013’s ’13’ album, and it currently appears as though Osbourne will remain committed to Black Sabbath for the immediate future, while continuing to pursue the odd extra-curricular project relating to his widespread fame.”,”post_count”:780,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/ozzy-osbourne/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/ozzy-osbourne/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:294,”object_id”:0},{“id”:486,”slug”:”pantera”,”title”:”Pantera”,”description”:”Pantera was arguably the most important heavy metal band of the 1990s — becoming a major commercial force in spite of a hostile alternative rock climate that laid low some of metal’s all-time biggest bands, to say nothing of the once dominant hair metal scene. With period-defining albums like ‘Cowboys from Hell’ and ‘Vulgar Display of Power,’ Pantera established the so-called groove metal sub-genre and even reinvented themselves from a previous 1980s existence that many of their fans weren’t even aware of, for some time. But Pantera, which was founded in 1981 by guitar-and-drum-playing brothers Darrell (a.k.a. Diamond or Dimebag Darrell) and Vinnie Paul Abbott, with bassist Rex Brown and singer Terrence Lee Glaze, had actually recorded three albums of run-of-the-mill hair metal for their own independent label, to no success. Not until they replaced Glaze with New Orleans-based vocalist Philip Anselmo, and began toughening up their sound for 1988’s ‘Power Metal’ album, did Pantera’s fortunes start turning around, leading to the creative and commercial breakthrough of 1990’s major label debut, ‘Cowboys from Hell.’ This, along with the aforementioned ‘Vulgar Display of Power,’ effectively established Pantera’s muscular groove metal blueprint, based around Dimebag Darrell’s devastating guitar technique and Anselmo’s versatile vocals. As a result 1994’s ‘Far Beyond Driven’ shot straight to number one on the U.S. charts and transformed Pantera into one of the world’s biggest heavy metal touring acts. But growing tensions within the group began chipping away at their momentum, despite strong sales for ensuing albums like 1996’s ‘The Great Southern Trendkill’ and 2000’s ‘Reinventing the Steel,’ and by 2003, Pantera had officially broken up. Anselmo turned his attention to Down and Superjoint Ritual, the Abbott brothers launched a new group named Damageplan, and their war of worlds escalated until Dimebag was stunning murdered on stage by a deranged man, on December 8, 2004. Since the tragedy, relations between Pantera’s surviving members have remained testy, at best, with Anselmo continuing to pursue multiple musical projects, Vinnie Paul chiefly committed to Hellyeah, and Rex Brown splitting his time between Down, Kill Devil Hill and penning his Pantera-centric autobiography in 2013.”,”post_count”:551,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/pantera/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/pantera/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:495,”object_id”:0},{“id”:2438,”slug”:”sabaton”,”title”:”Sabaton”,”description”:””,”post_count”:65,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/sabaton/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/sabaton/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:2478,”object_id”:0},{“id”:500,”slug”:”slayer”,”title”:”Slayer”,”description”:”Widely regarded as the ultimate thrash metal band, Slayer did much to introduce and establish the genre throughout the 1980s, alongside fellow Los Angeles natives Metal-lica and Megadeth, and New York’s Anthrax — collectively known as the Big Four. As the most extreme and lyrically controversial member of that exclusive musical club, Slayer at first attracted a relatively modest (but devout) fan base until breaking through to a broader audience with their monumental third album, 1986’s ‘Reign in Blood.’ The band proceeded to consolidate its dominant place in the heavy metal pantheon over the second half of that decade; and, unlike most peers, refused to alter its core sound throughout the more challenging 1990s. As the third millennium dawned, Slayer read-mitted original drummer Dave Lombardo and enjoyed a renewed period of recording and touring prosperity, leading up to 2013 and the drummer’s latest departure, just months prior to the shocking death of founding guitarist Jeff Hanneman. Nevertheless, remaining founding members, Kerry King (guitar) and Tom Araya (vocals/bass) show no signs of retiring Slayer, which is now rounded out by former Exodus guitarist Gary Holt and returning drummer Paul Bostaph.”,”post_count”:644,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/slayer/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/slayer/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:509,”object_id”:0},{“id”:476,”slug”:”slipknot”,”title”:”Slipknot”,”description”:”Like Kiss before them, only to the tune of nine band members, instead of four, Slipknot adopted frightening disguises to infuse their already overpowering music with additional layers of theatrical excess. Emerging out of the unlikely rock star breeding grounds of Des Moines, Iowa during the middle 1990s, Slipknot signed to Roadrunner Records and leveraged a shockingly abrasive eponymous album with show-stealing Ozzfest performances (both in 1999) to state there case for stardom. Initially seen as one of the key bands in the nu-metal movement, Slipknot successfully transcended the style when it fell out of commercial favor and went on to enjoy prolonged success into the third millennium, thanks to a punishing global touring regimen and subsequent albums like 2001’s ‘Iowa,’ 2004’s ‘Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), and 2008’s ‘All Hope is Gone.’ Two year later tragedy struck when band founder and bassist Paul Gray succumbed to a drug overdose, and another key founding member, drummer Joey Jordison, parted ways with the group in December of 2013, but Slipknot have continued on, releasing the new album ‘.5: The Gray Chapter’ in 2014.”,”post_count”:1323,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/slipknot/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/slipknot/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:485,”object_id”:0},{“id”:535,”slug”:”system-of-a-down”,”title”:”System of a Down”,”description”:”System of a Down are an Armenian American quartet based out of Los Angeles, and one of the few major nu-metal bands whose popularity far exceed, and then outlived, largely unscathed, that particular style’s limited life span as a dominance musical force. Active in one shape or another since 1992, System of a Down was eventually championed by producer-to-the-stars, Rick Rubin, who signed them to his American Recordings in 1997. For a while, though, it seemed as though SOAD’s eponymous debut (a game-changing, critically acclaimed affair, once described as Faith no more jamming with Slayer) might prove too original and idiosyncratic to attract a mainstream audience. But, with the help of relentless touring over a near-three-year period and the resulting, snowballing word-of-mouth, System of a Down saw their 2001 sophomore LP, ‘Toxicity,’ explode straight to number one upon release, eventually selling an estimated 12 million copies worldwide. A collection of unfinished demos named ‘Steal this Album’ was released in late 2002, after MP3s of the songs were accidentally leaked, and the band’s popularity continued to build, up to and beyond, the dual release of ‘Mezmerize’ [SIC] and ‘Hypnotize’ in 2005, both of which also debuted at number one. The following year, SOAD initiated an official, four-year hiatus while its principals explored other projects, and the group reunited for touring purposes in 2010, with no immediate plans to record new material.”,”post_count”:348,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/system-of-a-down/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/system-of-a-down/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:544,”object_id”:0},{“id”:431,”slug”:”trivium”,”title”:”Trivium”,”description”:””,”post_count”:247,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/trivium/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/trivium/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:438,”object_id”:0},{“id”:728,”slug”:”type-o-negative”,”title”:”Type O Negative”,”description”:””,”post_count”:66,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/type-o-negative/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/type-o-negative/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:737,”object_id”:0},{“id”:1216,”slug”:”whitechapel”,”title”:”Whitechapel”,”description”:””,”post_count”:69,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/whitechapel/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/whitechapel/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:1225,”object_id”:0}],”categories”:[{“id”:5476,”slug”:”galleries”,”title”:”Galleries”,”description”:””,”parent”:0,”post_count”:1127,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/galleries/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/galleries/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:2812,”object_id”:0},{“id”:13,”slug”:”lists”,”title”:”Lists”,”description”:”Rock lists.”,”parent”:0,”post_count”:1906,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/lists/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/lists/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:13,”object_id”:0},{“id”:1560,”slug”:”metal”,”title”:”Metal”,”description”:””,”parent”:0,”post_count”:23685,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/metal/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/metal/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:1571,”object_id”:0},{“id”:6,”slug”:”news”,”title”:”News”,”description”:”Rock news.”,”parent”:0,”post_count”:43657,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/news/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/news/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:6,”object_id”:0}],”authors”:[{“id”:1420122,”slug”:”joedivita”,”name”:”Joe DiVita”,”first_name”:”Joe”,”last_name”:”DiVita”,”nickname”:”joedivita”,”description”:”Joe is Loudwire’s Managing Editor since 2022 and started as a freelancer with the site in 2013.
