A two-disc 20th Anniversary Edition of Pantera‘s Far Beyond Driven will be released by Rhino on March 25, 2014, and is available for pre-order now.
The album, which was the band’s seventh studio offering, debuted in 1994 at #1 on the Billboard chart — an amazing feat for a metal record — and then stayed on the chart for seven more months. Following in the crushing aural assault of their previous record, 1992’s Vulgar Display of Power, Far Beyond Driven contains the standout tracks “I’m Broken,” “5 Minutes Alone,” “Strength Beyond Strength,” “Becoming,” and a cover of Black Sabbath’s Planet Caravan all performed by singer Philip Anselmo, guitarist Dimebag Darrell, bassist Rex Brown, and drummer Vinnie Paul.
The 20th Anniversary Edition will contain a newly remastered version of the album on one disc, with a new 40-minute disc 2 with the band’s live performance on June 4, 1994 from the 1994 Monsters of Rock Festival in Donington, England, dubbed Far Beyond Bootleg – Live From Donington ’94. Check out the full track listing for the upcoming release here below.
If you’re a metal fan and you don’t already have Far Beyond Driven, definitely get your hands on this 20th Anniversary Edition when it’s released in March. I saw the band on this tour for the album, with Brooklyn locals Type O Negative in support, and getting to see Pantera headline in a stadium setting was amazing. They were totally brutal, so I can’t wait to hear the Donington concert that’s part of this new edition.
