Pantera's "Far Beyond Driven" to Be Expanded by Rhino

January 22, 2014 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Far Beyond DrivenAnyone who saw the breakthrough of Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power as a fluke would be proven wrong in the spring of 1994, when the group's heavy-hitting Far Beyond Driven debuted atop the Billboard 200. Two decades later, Rhino is expanding the LP with a previously unreleased live bootleg.

Far Beyond Driven continued the successful groove-metal formula established since the 1990 release of major-label debut Cowboys from Hell. The late guitarist Dimebag Darrell delivered some of the most monster riffs on six strings, while Phil Anselmo's lyrics turned more introspective than on previous efforts, including lead single "I'm Broken" - which, with a Top 20 U.K. chart placement, is the band's most successful single.

The 20th anniversary edition of Far Beyond Driven pairs the remastered original album with the band's performance at the Monsters of Rock Festival in Donington, England on June 4, 1994. The band's trek to Europe was tumultuous: Darrell and brother/Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul fought with journalists from Kerrang over an unflattering cartoon of Vinnie in the magazine, and Anselmo took on community service after assaulting a security guard at a gig later that month. But the resultant show is as energetic as they come, featuring songs from all three of the band's Atco/EastWest albums.

Mike Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he was a teenager. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.
