1986 saw the release of several landmark thrash metal albums that would prove influential to Pantera's developing musical style.

Among the most prominent of these were Metallica's Master of Puppets, Slayer's Reign in Blood and Megadeth's Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?.

Terrence Lee's glam approach did not fit the band's new outlook and he and the other members parted ways, beginning the search for his replacement.

The band went through temporary vocalists Matt L'Amour and David Peacock before eventually discovering New Orleans native Phil Anselmo in 1987.

Anselmo had previously been the vocalist for the bands Samhain (not to be confused with Glenn Danzig's band of the same name) and Razorwhite.
