by New Pantera. Those two words should be enough to satisfy any hesher’s lust for power. Fact is, Pantera have been dearly missed. Praise the fucking lord that their music seems to be timeless – it’s as heavy and relevant today as it ever was. No wonder they’ve pretty much influenced all who have come after.
So, the nuts and bolts of of it is that Pantera will debut the new song and video on April 11 at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards show. The song will be officially released on April 12 and then available on the upcoming CD/DVD Deluxe Edition Of Vulgar Display Of Power, out May 15.

LOS ANGELES – While combing the Pantera vaults for the 20th anniversary reissue of Vulgar Display of Power, drummer Vinnie Paul made an astounding discovery: “Piss,” an incendiary blast of vintage Pantera from the original recording sessions that had long been forgotten. After 20 years, “Piss” will finally make its debut this Wednesday, April 11, when the newly created video for the song will premiere at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards in Los Angeles, which will be broadcast live on Xbox Live, as well as on the Xbox and Revolver Facebook pages. The video will make its worldwide premiere right before the show starts at approximately 10:55 p.m. ET/7:55 p.m. PT. The song will then be released to radio outlets and all digital music retailers the following day. Pantera are also the subject of a Revolver special issue, which hits newsstands everywhere on April 15.
For the “Piss” video, Pantera put out a call through their Facebook page for fans to submit home videos of them rocking out to the band or attend a video shoot in Los Angeles. The resulting video is an amazing collection of fans of all ages, from around the world, moshing, jumping, punching, kicking, and just plain rocking out to Pantera. The video, directed by Zach Merck, also features some amazing slow-motion shots that recreate the face punch from the iconic cover of Vulgar Display Of Power.
Vinnie Paul has stated that:
“‘Piss” is the only unheard complete Pantera track in existence. It was recorded at the same time as Vulgar Display of Power and it’s 100 percent Pantera with attitude and our signature groove! After mixing it, I can’t believe it didn’t make the record! So it’s 2012 and 20 years later and new Pantera music has been delivered. Cheers!”
