Today's Metal Track is Trampled Down Below by Black Label Society. This is the opening track off of their latest album Grimmest Hits which came out earlier this year. I've really enjoyed this album.

Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Cowboys From Hell by Pantera

You see us comin'
And you all together run for cover
We're takin' over this town

28 years ago today Pantera released their monumental major label debut album Cowboys From Hell. It's the album that launched them into success and defined what would later be labeled Groove Metal. Prior to this album, the band was more of a power/glam metal band. It was this album that the band really found their identity. Most people I know ignore the first four albums and consider this their real debut.

Today's Metal Track opening and title track from that album. RIP brothers Dime and Vinnie!

Scott's Instrumental Metal Track of the Day - G.O.A.T. by Polyphia

Today's Instrumental Metal Track is a very unique, funky, smooth track by the guys in Polyphia. I really don't know how to classify this other than awesome. It has a little darker sound than you are used to hearing from them. The first time I listened to it I was thinking it was just a long intro and then it ended and I wanted more!

As far as I know, this is just a single that was released back in May. Not sure if a new album is coming out or not.

Mental transformation
We have become their memory

Step back and feel the sun
Step back and touch the end
We are in this together

Today's Metal Track is brand new music by Between the Buried and Me. This is the closing track off of the second part of their two part album Automata. Autmata II, which came out last Friday, only has 4 tracks but it is still over 30 minutes long. As with Automata I, the closing track is once again my favorite. Now the question is, which is better, Blot or The Grid? I'm not going to answer that yet. I need a few more listens. But this is fantastic and beautiful without question!

Bowie has stated the song is about "A sensitive young girl's reaction to the media." and that "I think she finds herself disappointed with reality... that although she's living in the doldrums of reality, she's being told that there's a far greater life somewhere, and she's bitterly disappointed that she doesn't have access to it."

I know the pieces fit
Cause I watched them fall away

Today's Metal Track is Schism by Tool. This is off of their 2002 album Lateralus. One of the most iconic bass line of all time.

It's been 12 years since 10,000 Days was released.

Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone that's all

Today's Metal Track is A Tout Le Monde by Megadeth. This is off of their 1994 album Youthanasia. For some reason I always remember listening to this album on my handheld CD player in the library in elementary school.

This was later remade with backing vocals from Christina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil but I have always been partial to the original.

The main chorus, which is in French, translates to:
"To everyone,
to all my friends,
I love you,
I have to leave"
