VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER

(Redirected from Vulgar Display Of Power)

'''Vulgar Display of Power''' is a groove metal album by heavy metal band Pantera, released on February 25, 1992 (see 1992 in music). Perhaps one of the most influential metal albums of the 1990s, ''Vulgar Display of Power'' is said to have played a major role in defining post-thrash metal, slowing down the tempos and incorporating a harder-edged vocal style. Several songs from this release have become some of the band's best known, such as "Fucking Hostile", "Mouth for War", "This Love", and "Walk", the latter of which reached #35 on the UK Singles Chart.
''Vulgar Display of Power'' peaked at #44 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
In 2001 ''Q'' magazine named it one of the "50 Heaviest Albums of All-Time". IGN named ''Vulgar Display of Power'' the 11th most influential heavy metal album of all-time.[1]
During the 90s, MTV's ''Headbangers Ball'' used excerpts from the album's songs for the show's opening theme, bumpers, and closing theme. Perhaps the most prominent sample is that of Anselmo screaming "hostile," taken from the end of the song "Fucking Hostile". "Rise", "Regular People (Conceit)", and "Mouth for War" were covered by Robert Prince for the first-person shooter computer game ''Doom'', and a cover of "This Love" appeared in ''.^[1]
