I know what you’re thinking: Brazil, thrash, Sepultura. But why the lengthy Pantera introduction when this is clearly not a YMIO piece? Because Brazil’s HellgardeN is the closest thing to Pantera’s reincarnation you’ll ever hear.

Dime’s untouchable riffs and solos, Vinnie’s one-of-a-kind kit work, Phil’s forceful presence, and Rex (somehow) pulling it all together. And, for all the shit that happened inside and outside of the band, I love these guys. Fisting ( The Great Southern Trendkill) and L. I’ve even gone back to enjoy the well-written Pantera YMIO articles from our own Dr. I’ve spent the last week listening to nothing but Pantera.
