As part of the new deluxe edition of Vulgar Display Of Power, a never-before-heard track from the sessions will finally see the light of day.

"Piss," the track in question, was unearthed by drummer Vinnie Paul while combing through Pantera's vaults for the 20th anniversary of Vulgar.

The band will be premiering an official music video for the song this Wednesday at the Revolver Golden Gods, which will be broadcast live on Xbox Live, as well as on the Xbox and Revolver Facebook pages. The video will then surface online the following day.



Two huge music festivals at Indio, California

April 2011 has been a busy month for the desert city of Indio, California. In the past two weeks the city’s Empire Polo Fields have been the site of two huge music festivals, The 2011 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival, and “The Big 4” an all-star heavy metal concert featuring legendary bands Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica and Slayer. This weekend the polo fields will host another sold out music festival, the fifth annual Stagecoach California Country Music Festival.

Since its inception in 2007, the Stagecoach Festival has been the premiere Country Music Festival in all of North America. Unlike last week’s “The Big 4” the Stagecoach takes place over 2 days (April 30 – May 1) and features three stages with over 100,000 concertgoers expected to attend. The festival is known to host an eclectic array of Country artists ranging from old school legacy acts like George Strait and John Fogerty, to newer groups like Nickel Creek and The Zak Brown Band.

Iron Maiden announced to release "From Fear To Eternity" Album (May 23, 2011 )

Announced plans to release a new  "The Best Of 1990-2010" compilation album. From Fear To Eternity : The double-CD.
The band started releasing studio albums in 1980, and they seem to get more popular with time. Their most recent studio album is 2010's The Final Frontier which went One in 29 countries. In the US The Final Frontier reached its peak position of Four by selling 63,000 units in America.

Their upcoming compilation album will highlight songs from their last eight studio albums, which follows 2008's compilation of their earlier work, the 1980-1990 Somewhere Back In Time album.

The announcement of From Fear To Eternity: The Best Of 1990-2010 comes on the heels of Iron Maiden's first ever a Grammy Award in the Best Metal Performance category for "El Dorado" from The Final Frontier.

Even though From Fear To Eternity will be a double-disc release, it will only be sold at the price of a single album. The album will also be available as a Digital Download Album and as a Limited Edition Triple Vinyl Picture Disc.

Heaven and Hell,” Black Sabbath

After Black Sabbath fired Ozzy Osbourne, their next move was a make-or-break affair. The decision to hire Rainbow/Elf vocalist Ronnie James Dio and proceed in a more “dungeon metal” direction paid off handsomely with this mostly-downtempo epic. The song’s driving vibe was carried onward by both Sabbath and Dio after their separation, and was returned to in glorious fashion when they reunited as Heaven & Hell in the late 2000s. – Peter Hodgson




Fade to Black,” Metallica

Metallica took on their first true ballad with “Fade to Black,” off 1984’s Ride the Lightning. The ambitious, epic song showed Metallica bravely paving new directions that would influence the metal genre for years to come. The track grows from an acoustic, minor-key ballad into a electrified mix of thrashy guitars and wraps up with one of the most popular, gut-wrenching guitar solos ever. “Fade to Black,” truly, is the archetypal metal song. – Anne Erickson


Angel of Death,” Slayer

Notwithstanding its controversial subject matter, this Slayer classic set a new standard for speed metal when it kicked off the band’s 1986 masterpiece, Reign in Blood. Underscored by pile-driver drums and a thunderous bass line, Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman deliver their dual-guitar riffs with machine-line, rapid-fire precision. Monumental in its conjuring of unspeakable brutality, the song comes off as the aural equivalent of a horrific painting. – Russell Hall


Peace Sells,” Megadeth

No song better exemplifies Megadeth’s thrash metal brilliance better than “Peace Sells” does. From the memorable, Primus-like opening bass line to the galloping 4/4 attack that sends the track to its ferocious conclusion, this classic contains all the ingredients that made the mid-’80s such a heyday for metal guitar. As opposed to being merely flashy, the shredding never sounded more essential to the song at-hand. – Russell Hall
