It's the ultimate form of groove metal, with an overwhelming sense of weight and aggression.
Dimebag Darrell's heavy riffs and Phil Anselmo's roar embody the aesthetics of Southern metal. The contrast between the gloomy mood that permeates the song and the occasional melodic moments is striking. This is one of Pantera's masterpieces, which established a unique position in the 90s metal scene.
