Untitled

The Great Southern Trendkill is a groove metal album by Pantera. It was released in May, 1996 through Eastwest Records, and recorded at Trent Reznor's Nothing Studios in New Orleans. It reached #4 on the Billboard Top 200 chart.

The album is often considered Pantera's overlooked album. It has a more experimental nature to its songs, such as the acoustic "Suicide Note Pt. I". Unlike Pantera's first three major label albums, the vocals are often double tracked and layered to create a more "demonic" effect. An example of this can be heard in the chorus of "13 Steps to Nowhere", when Phil Anselmo's singing voice is backed up by high pitched screaming.

The lyrics tackle topics such as singer Phil Anselmo's hate for the media ("War Nerve"), suicide ("Suicide Note Pt. I"), drug abuse ("Living Through Me (Hell's Wrath)") and the end of the world ("Floods").
