Projects in the Jungle is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on July 27, 1984 through Metal Magic Records.[1][2][3]

The band would make their first music video for the track "All Over Tonight". Though sharing many similarities with Def Leppard's pre-Hysteria sound (Pyromania had been released the year before), the album also contains influences from bands like Judas Priest and in addition to Van Halen-inspired guitar solos features many speed metal-oriented guitar riffs.[citation needed]
