Power Metal is the fourth & final release from Pantera on their own independent record label "Metal Magic Records". Released in 1988. Vocals are performed by Phil Anselmo for the first time with Pantera. Darrell Abbott is credited as Diamond Darrell & Vince Abbott is credited as Vinnie Paul. This album marks the introduction of Phil Anselmo as Pantera's vocalist. Released a year before the band landed a record deal with Geffen Records. Here we see the beginnings of what would eventually become the Pantera style they would be known for. I have included full scans.
