February 25, 2012 marked the 20-year anniversary for Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power, a landmark album widely acknowledged as one of metal's most enduring and influential masterworks. Recorded by singer Philip Anselmo, guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, bassist Rex Brown and drummer Vinnie Paul, the album has been certified double platinum by the RIAA and features several of the group's most iconic songs including "Walk," "Mouth For War," "This Love," and "Fucking Hostile."
To celebrate, Rhino channels the album's relentless blitzkrieg of musical aggression onto a two-disc Deluxe Edition. The collection features the debut of "Piss," an incendiary blast of vintage Pantera from the original recording sessions. It remained lost until Vinnie Paul rediscovered the track while going through the band s vault.
Along with the unreleased song, Vulgar Display Of Power (Deluxe Edition) also features unreleased video of the quartet performing six songs at the Monsters Of Rock show in Reggio Emilia, Italy on September 12, 1992. The set list draws almost exclusively from Vulgar ("This Love," "Rise" "Mouth For War"), but also includes the title track from their previous album, Cowboys From Hell, and a melding of Vulgar s "Hollow" and Cowboys "Domination," which was a live staple of the band.

The Ultimate Edition. 20th Anniversary of this classic album. Remastered.
Pantera found its growl and groove on 'COWBOYS FROM HELL,' a landmark album whose bone-powdering intensity, razor-sharp riffing and pummeling rhythmic assault represented a turning point in modern metal when it was released in 1990. More than just Pantera's major label debut, many consider this album to be the official debut of the Pantera lineup with singer Philip Anselmo, guitarist 'Dimebag' Darrell Abbott, his brother, drummer Vinnie Paul and bassist Rex Brown.
To celebrate the 20-year anniversary of 'COWBOYS FROM HELL,' a three-disc Ultimate Edition will include a newly remastered version of the original album along with unreleased and rare live performances from the 'Cowboys From Hell' Tour and a disc of unreleased demos for nearly every album track, plus, 'The Will To Survive,' a previously unreleased song recorded during album's sessions.

The remainder of the disc contains the five-song EP 'Alive And Hostile,' a collection of performances recorded in 1991 at the Monsters of Rock festival in Moscow that was previously available only in Australia as part of a 1994 boxed set.
The third disc contains the previously unreleased 'The Will To Survive,' along with demos for 10 of the album's 12 songs, including early versions of the title track, 'Psycho Holiday,' 'The Art Of Shredding' and 'Cemetery Gates.'
