Dimebag Darrell/Pantera tribute CD detailed

Official press release: The Dimebag Darrell tribute CD with tracks from Machine Head, Five Finger Death Punch, Zakk Wylde and more will come packaged with issue 200 of Metal Hammer – on sale December 16th. Metal Hammer are honoured to pay tribute to the one and only Dimebag Darrell on December 16th. We've rounded up some of the biggest and best names from the world of metal to unleash their interpretations of the hardest and heaviest tracks from the Pantera back-catalogue. The full tracklisting runs: 01. Zakk Wylde - "Suicide Note, Pt. 1" 02. Machine Head - "Fucking Hostile" 03. Malefice - "I'm Broken" 04. Avenged Sevenfold - "Walk" 05. Evile - "Cemetary Gates" 06. Five Finger Death Punch - "A New Level" 07. Biohazard - "Mouth For War" 08. Sylosis - "Strength Beyond Strength" 09. Chimaira - "Slaughtered" 10. Unearth - "Sandblasted Skin" 11. Throwdown - "Becoming" 12. Kiaus - "This Love" 13. This Is Hell - "Rise" We spoke to Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn about their decision to cover the "Vulgar Display Of Power" classic, "Fucking Hostile." "It was either that or 'Strength Beyond Strength' from '‘Far Beyond Driven,'" said Flynn. "In the end, we decided that we wanted to do a classic. We chose 'Fucking Hostile' because it's two and a half minutes of pure, raging metal. It's short, fast and brutal.” "There's some real intricate riffing parts in there," continues Flynn. "We'd jammed it before but we'd never sat down and analyzed it properly. I think we did a great job on it."

elchupanibre 12/2/2009 3:01:18 PM

Wow, a bunch of shit bands ruining Pantera songs and pissing on Dime's legacy, awesome.

hatredoftheliving 12/2/2009 3:25:50 PM

Garbage beyond garbage.

FAGABEEFE 12/2/2009 3:36:47 PM

We did not need a 20th cover of Walk.

ridetheanaconda 12/2/2009 3:44:17 PM

the A7X version of Walk is already available on iTunes, I downloaded it myself already...not that bad for what it is

degoyaco 12/2/2009 3:44:45 PM

dimebag is rolling over in his grave right now

xsongsofselfx 12/2/2009 3:53:44 PM

really wish this didnt have those random bands picking all the good songs. can't wait to hear the biohazard song.

ipecac 12/2/2009 4:05:49 PM

a bunch of shitty local bands are getting together to play a memorial show on the 8th of this month...will probably be just as good as this album...though zakk wylde doing "suicide note pt.1" should be pretty sweet

outforaction 12/2/2009 4:19:26 PM

lol who didnt see throwdown coming.....still pretty fcking gay

yes_cuban_b 12/2/2009 4:21:30 PM

Sandblasted Skin is such a fcking awesome song, I wonder how Unearth is going to incorperate a massive breakdown into it. Ugh.

trannydick138 12/2/2009 4:22:38 PM

The members of A Perfect Murder couldn't be reached?

awkward_man_hug 12/2/2009 4:30:07 PM

That list of bands could not be any funnier to me unless Emmure was on it.

twat_waffle 12/2/2009 4:40:54 PM

Dimebag seemed cool, this CD does not seem cool.

IStillBelieveInWhtWeBuilt 12/2/2009 5:00:04 PM

baobab 12/2/2009 5:05:51 PM

Doombox 12/2/2009 5:16:26 PM

FAR BEYOND gay

theanyday 12/2/2009 5:32:14 PM

I figured if any band would be on here it would be A Perfect Murder

Konnekt 12/2/2009 5:52:16 PM

Wow, no "Domination"?

robot_wheelchair 12/2/2009 6:06:10 PM

tama812 12/2/2009 7:43:07 PM

xthexoncomingxstormx 12/2/2009 7:53:58 PM

No one gives a fck but pretty sweet that This is Hell is on this.

queefshart420 12/2/2009 11:26:27 PM

Sylosis will shred that shit up!

aightchopeace 12/2/2009 11:28:32 PM

THIS IS COMPLETE FAILURE. Domination should have definitely been on this list.

Nowonmai 12/3/2009 3:09:27 AM

shitty modern metalcore rejoices

xnvb 12/3/2009 3:17:32 AM

well now that throwdown is pretty much a pantera cover band anyway, i guess this is their crowning achievement.

strife 12/3/2009 7:54:58 AM

the fact that sevenfold is on here even at all, let alone the track they are doing is like shooting him in the face again.

analblowjobs 12/3/2009 8:28:24 AM

rip dimebag. quit fcking bitching who's on the album damn.

freakboy666 12/3/2009 9:46:21 AM

A7xs cover of Walk has been around for awhile, and it is actually pretty good.

m_kwd 12/3/2009 10:07:37 AM

A7X was on kerrang's anniversary issue CD some years ago. talk about recycling. hahaha.

wookiefan85 12/3/2009 3:32:12 PM

will listen in my Black Label Society Vest

a_dot_gain_dinner 12/3/2009 3:56:39 PM

worth less than a dimebag.

emoxfag 12/3/2009 6:58:01 PM

this looks terrible. well, pantera is terrible and the best thing to happen to music was shooting this peice of shit.

tildeathforlife 12/3/2009 9:33:40 PM

"Far Beyond Livin'"

bloodofthewicked 12/3/2009 10:39:50 PM

What crap.

moshyurface 12/3/2009 11:15:48 PM

five finger death punch? really. what is this world coming to?

ugly_old_guy 12/4/2009 1:15:22 AM

dimebag darrell is fcking glad he was murdered so he didn't have to see this pile of shit released

DrowSwordsman 12/4/2009 11:30:04 AM

Jesus christ I don't want to hear any more Pantera for the rest of my life. Dimebag RIP but his music isn't current or fresh and won't ever be no matter how much A7X wants to change that. 90% of the bands on this list are shit.

IStillBelieveInWhtWeBuilt 12/4/2009 6:26:08 PM

douchebag darrel

m_kwd 12/5/2009 12:29:49 AM

m_kwd 12/5/2009 12:30:59 AM

hahaha, booze is fun.

xlambflipx 12/6/2009 12:10:48 AM

takethesceneburnitdown 12/6/2009 12:49:39 PM

Seriously? fck Dimebag Darrell. He is a poser for getting shot on stage....only posers die. Once again, fck DIMEBAG DARRELL. I am so glad I don't have to listen to his "widdly-wah's" anymore.

Danger 12/6/2009 6:11:26 PM
