Dimebag Darrell/Pantera - Tribute CD Details


Official press release

The Dimebag Darrell tribute CD with tracks from Machine Head, Five Finger Death Punch, Zakk Wylde and more will come packaged with issue 200 of Metal Hammer - on sale December 16th.

Metal Hammer are honoured to pay tribute to the one and only Dimebag Darrell on December 16th. We've rounded up some of the biggest and best names from the world of metal to unleash their interpretations of the hardest and heaviest tracks from the Pantera back-catalogue.

The full tracklisting runs:

01. Zakk Wylde - Suicide Note, Pt. 1
02. Machine Head - Fucking Hostile
03. Malefice - I'm Broken
04. Avenged Sevenfold - Walk
05. Evile - Cemetery Gates
06. Five Finger Death Punch - A New Level
07. Biohazard - Mouth for War
08. Sylosis - Strength beyond Strength
09. Chimaira - Slaughtered
10. Unearth - Sandblasted Skin
11. Throwdown - Becoming
12. Kiuas - This Love
13. This Is Hell - Rise

Metal Hammer spoke to Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn about their decision to cover the Vulgar Display of Power classic, "Fucking Hostile."

"It was either that or "Strength beyond Strength" from Far beyond Driven," said Flynn. "In the end, we decided that we wanted to do a classic. We chose "Fucking Hostile" because it's two and a half minutes of pure, raging metal. It's short, fast and brutal. There's some real intricate riffing parts in there. We'd jammed it before but we'd never sat down and analyzed it properly. I think we did a great job on it."

I'm sure it doesn't take a money-making CD to pay tribute to a guy that died five years ago.

Still, I'm sure a few of these are interesting. Not going to buy it though.

Good lord, just let the man fucking rest. Seems every year we gotta deal with some new Dimebag worship of some kind. I really hope someone tries to capitalize on my death when I bite the dust.

This compilation isn't a tribute, they're pissing on Dimebag's grave by having bands like Avenged Sevenfold on there.

Yes, because you know, capitalizing on someones dead name years after their death is very honorable.

Yep,I would expect that, but Evile trying to do a slower semi-acoustic song might be more of a betrayal of a good reputation.

I'm unfamiliar with the word "tribute"...what does it mean?

Seriously though, there are plenty of ways to make a tribute to someone that doesn't involve massive profits. Metal Hammer has kept itself alive off of repetitive Dimebag tributes, it has to stop some time.

I have some bad news for you all - Dimebag is dead, Dimebag don't give a shit what crap with his face slapped on that you buy. I'm sure he's cool with you all buying his sister and his brother new Escalades though.
