In 1994 heavy metal band Pantera shocked the music industry when their seventh studio album Far Beyond Driven, which debuted at the number 1 on the album charts in America. Following the success of 1992 release Vulgar Display of Power it was expected that the band would soften their sound and follow in metallica’s footsteps. But Pantera did the opposite, and in doing so they made music history. Today let’s talk about the history of far beyond driven. By 1994 heavy metal wasn't very popular thanks to the rise of grunge. Metal was even considered a bad word by some bands. Pantera didn’t care as the title Far Beyond Driven suggested it was a mantra the band would follow for their upcoming album.Drummer Vinnie Paul would tell Revolver "Everybody expected us to write the 'sell-out' record and kind of go the Metallica route, with a more commercial sound," "That made us want to approach it even more from the other side of the spectrum and be even more extreme. That's where the title came from. We had the name before we even started working on the record." It would be a sentiment echoed by bassist Rex Brown who told Revolver he wasn’t a fan of the what was popular at the time recalling “We were listening to a lot of different shit just to hear what going on. One day, I went with Terry (referring to their producer) to a record store. We picked up Nirvana's In Utero, whatever the f****it's called, and listened to that and went, "Fuck. If that's what everybody's listening to, we don't way any part of that shit, at all." No thank you. Not into it. Heart-shaped boxes and shit. Nope. Can't do it. Despite their objection Brown would reveal in a separate interview with Rolling Stone that the record label wanted something more along the lines of the Black Album revealing, "The record company was pushing for something like [Metallica's] Black Album. We were like, 'No, that's not going to happen." But the band didn’t look too far away from what was popular at the time with Anselmo drawing inspiration from The Pacific Northwest more specifically the band The Melvins and artist Nick Cave. Due to the success of 1992’s Vulgar DIsplay of Power the band had received a significant advance from their record label. Unlike a lot of bands who blow the money recording in an expensive studio, Pantera for the first time in their history recorded at least part of the album outside of their homestay of Texas. The Abbot brothers father Jerry had opened up a new studio in Nashville, so they would end up recording there and then do some recording in Dallas. Vinnie Paul would tell Revolver that the first song recorded for the album would be a Black Sabbath cover Planet Caravan, a track that was Anselmo’s favourite Black Sabbath tune.. The song was initially intended to be part of a Black Sabbath tribute album called Nativity in Black. Vinnie recall to Revolver “. We wanted to get it out of the way so we could focus on being heavy all the way through. After we did it, our label had a problem with the other label that was going to put it out so it never made it to Nativity in Black. But we really liked it, so rather than let it go to waste we decided to put it on our own record” The band’s first song they wrote for the album would be 25 years.The song along with Becoming would draw inspiration from Anselmo’s personal life before Pantera, his dysfunctional relationship with his father. The track 5 minutes Alone would take inspiration from a lawsuit the band faced from an incensed Megadeth fan. During the band’s tour for Vulgar Display of Power they opened for Megadeth. According to the band a kid in the audience flipped off Anselmo and the crowd turned on the member of the audience and attacked him. The boy’s father threatened to sue the band with Anselmo recalling to Revolver The kid claimed I jumped off the stage and beat him up. There were no witnesses to this—it was absolute
