Are there any good bands out there that sound like Pantera?

I appreciate Cowboys from Hell while not liking it much anymore (title track excluded). Probably my favorite song is Mouth for War from VDoP, but the rest of the album goes rapidly downhill. Not only that, but Disarmonia Mundi's cover of Mouth for War was so much better I don't even care about the original.

Still enjoy this track.

Start to finish one of the best metal albums ever released

I just dislike their sterile, over-produced, groove metal neo-thrash shit and I think Phil Anselmo stylistically (as opposed to technically) sucks balls.

I actually think Phil is at his best singing for Down (first 3 albums in particular). His lyrics are much more mature in Down too.

But yeah, Pantera are fairly overrated.

Yeah he's way better on Down, but I'm not much of a Down fan myself. I don't mind some Superjoint Ritual.

Yeah SJ are good fun if you're looking for some loud, heavy stuff that you don't have to think about too hard about.

I actually went to see Down a few years ago and managed to touch Phil's leg from the front row of the crowd! After the gig myself & a friend bumped into Kirk Windstein, who was drunk as fuck, at the local casino (Crown Casino, Melbourne). There's my claim to fame.
