Pantera - Piss

Recently at the Revolver Golden God Awards a new song, titled Piss, was debuted after being discovered in the Pantera "vaults" by Vinnie Paul. A music video was made for Piss and shown at the awards show and, according to Vinnie Paul, is the only complete previously unheard Pantera Track. It was recorded during the Vulgar Display of Power sessions.

Pantera was an American heavy metal band from Arlington, Texas. Formed by the Abbott brothers, Vinnie Paul (drums) and Dimebag Darrell (guitar) in 1981, bassist Rex Brown would join in late 1981 with vocalist Terry Glaze. Looking for a new and heavier sound, Pantera had Terry replaced in 1987 with Phil Anselmo as the new vocalist. Pantera has sold around 20 million albums. Starting as a glam metal band, Pantera played a heavier groove and thrash sound when they released Cowboys from Hell in 1990. Their second album Vulgar Display of Power, released in 1992, revealed a heavier sound than Cowboys from Hell and their 1994 release of Far Beyond Driven debuted at No.1 in the Billboard 200.

Tensions began to surface amongst the band members when Phil Anselmo became addicted to heroin in 1995. This resulted in the recording sessions for The Great Southern Trendkill to be held separately. The ongoing tensions lasted for another seven years, in which only one studio album, Reinventing the Steel was released. The Abbott brothers disbanded Pantera in 2003 and subsequently formed Damageplan. Any hopes of a reunion were lost on December 8, 2004, when Dimebag Darrell was shot and killed onstage by a mentally unstable fan during a Damageplan performance.

Todays tune "Piss" is the last unreleased track by Pantera. It was recorded during the Vulgar sessions & stored away. Piss was available on Itunes April 12th! It will also be included on the 20th Anniversary Edition of Vulgar Display of Power which hits store on May 15, 2012.
