Throwdown
Vendetta (Trustkill)
by Scott Hefflon
There’s good reason why these guys are so popular: They’re one of the best Pantera tribute bands you’re bound to hear. All the breakdowns, all the rampage, the wall of guitars, and the exact same vocal spitting. There are multiple times on this slab where even a long-time Pantera diehard like me’ll forget this is microwaved leftovers, not the original dish. Damn good tribute. A few of these originals stack up, like the best tunes by The Agony Scene, another fine genre band.
