Album: Projects in the Jungle by Pantera (1984)
Genre: Thrash Metal | Style: Metal | Mood: Boisterous
Format: Album

Description: Projects in the Jungle is the second album by the American heavy metal band Pantera, released in July 27, 1984. Though sharing many similarities with Def Leppard's pre-Hysteria sound (Pyromania had been released the year before), the title track's musical style is a foreshadowing of what was to come a few years later, as it features a thrash metal-oriented guitar riff with more groove metal-like breakdowns.

Artist Background: No band affected the metal world more so than Pantera during the early to mid-'90s. Beginning with its 1990 album Cowboys From Hell, the post-thrash band put to rest any and all remnants of the '80s metal scene, almost single-handedly demolishing any notion that hair metal, speed metal, power metal, et al., were anything but passé. Sure, a lot of critics point toward Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and the subsequent alternative rock explosion as the death knell of '80s-style metal, but ... Part of the Arlington, Texas, USA music scene. Emerged in the 1980s era. Associated with Thrash Metal movement. Known for Metal style.
