Power Metal is the fourth studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on June 24, 1988,[4][5] through Metal Magic Records. It is the first Pantera album to feature Phil Anselmo on lead vocals, as part of Pantera's best-known lineup which would last until the band's breakup in 2003.
The album signals a shift in a heavier direction and has been described as a "bridge" between the band's original glam metal style and the heavier groove metal sound of their subsequent work.[6] It contains influences from speed and thrash metal while still retaining elements from the band's previous releases. The sound of the album has often been compared to that of Judas Priest, in particular Anselmo's vocals to that of Rob Halford.[7][1]
