Hellbound
Pantera · Original Album Series [2011]
I've paid the masters with blood and hunger
...And it's not for sale by any stretch
It's like religion without a Bible
And the dragon lives inside of my mouth
And it speaks in tongues, the word...
Hellbound - in Ft. Worth, Texas
Hellbound - Ft. Worth
Snakes, in Southern flames
To bring the thunder; the great decider
Would you believe in this or the ash?
I do believe it, it's taking over...
Accept
Hellbound - in Ft. Worth, Texas
Hellbound - Ft. Worth
Born to a world so young and proud
But over your head hangs a black cloud
Grow your hair and crawl inside yourself
Cause there you cannot hide
Facing fears you'll overcome
And one of these years you know you've won
Hellbound - in Ft. Worth
Hellbound - Ft. Worth
Hellbound - Pantera
Released as part of Pantera's 2011 Original Album Series, 'Hellbound' stands as a definitive track within the band's evolution from groove metal to heavier, more aggressive thrash metal. Featuring the iconic vocal style of Phil Anselmo and the signature tight, down-tuned riffs of Dimebag Darrell, the song captures the raw energy and technical precision that characterized the group's later work. While the track was originally recorded for the 1983 album 'Power Metal', its inclusion in the 2011 compilation highlights its enduring status as a cornerstone of Pantera's discography. The song exemplifies the band's ability to blend high-speed tempo with crushing distortion, cementing their legacy as one of the most influential acts in the heavy metal genre.
