Pantera’s ‘Reinventing the Steel’ 20th Anniversary Reissue Has a New Album Cover
Reinventing the Steel proved to be the final album from Pantera and 20 years later, the music and the memory lives on. The band has just revealed a 20th anniversary edition of the record, complete with new album art, a track-for-track remaster, as well as some alternative mixes and other bonuses.
The 3-CD version of the 2000 album is set to arrive on Oct. 30 while the 2LP version will be available early next year on Jan. 8. Among the highlights of this reissue set is a brand new mix of the entire record courtesy of producer Terry Date, who was at the helm of the Texas group's four previous works — The Great Southern Trendkill, Far Beyond Driven, Vulgar Display of Power and Cowboys From Hell.
As a teaser for the full update, Pantera have shared three songs with the new Terry Date mix: "Revolution Is My Name," "Death Rattle" and "We'll Grind That Axe for a Long Time." All three can be heard below.
Accompanying this reissue is a brand new album cover, which replaces the inebriated man in his boxer shorts jumping through fire that adorned the original release. This time, Pantera kept it simple, playing a bit off the album's title while also giving a nod to one of Dimebag Darrell's guitar designs, which featured a diamond plate body.
