With the release of REINVENTING THE STEEL, the 9th (and final) PANTERA studio album (and 6th consisting of the “classic lineup” of Phil Anselmo, Rex Brown, and the brothers Abbott:  Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul), it seemed as if the southern metal lords were set to begin yet another decade of heavy metal domination in not only a new century, but also a new millennium.  After consistently releasing album after album of heavy, grooving, brutal sonic bliss throughout the 90’s, the band managed to combine the essence and energy of each of those albums, coalescing into one final masterwork that would serve as the perfect coda to the band’s storied career and tremendous output.

It's time to stop by the relaxer room for a pre-show pick me up before “running in flip flops” down “Chunky Bum” Boulevard on your way to our 33rd Floor I.U.B.P. Studio Lounge to JOIN US as we celebrate the band and dive into the album that helped bring in the new millennium with one hell of a bang!
