Regular People
Vulgar Display of Power is the sixth studio album by American groove metal band Pantera. Released on February 25, 1992, through Atco Records, it was the band's second collaboration with producer Terry Date, after having worked with him on their breakthrough album Cowboys from Hell (1990). The band sought to make an album heavier than Cowboys, particularly motivated by the more commercial sound Metallica had adopted on their self-titled album, which released during the album's recording.
The album was well received by both critics and fans, and is Pantera's highest selling album to date, eventually being certified 2× Platinum while peaking within the top 50 of the Billboard 200, far above their previous album. It is often considered one of the greatest and most influential heavy metal albums of the 1990s, with both the album and its songs appearing in best-of lists for the decade and the genre. Several of its tracks have become among the band's best known, such as "Mouth for War", "A New Level", "Walk", "Fucking Hostile", and "This Love". Vulgar Display of Power received an expanded reissue in 2012, including an unreleased track, "Piss".
