Pantera’s final opus, Reinventing The Steel, represented a recommitment to everything the band loved about heavy metal. Released in 2000 at the peak of nu-metal’s popularity, the album’s back-to-basics approach flew in the face of the trend and served as a potent reminder of the enduring power of primal metal. Pantera’s swan song turned 20 this year and Rhino is celebrating with an anniversary edition that features an unreleased mix of the album by longtime producer Terry Date, the original album remastered and bonus tracks.
