Many of us metalheads, including myself, love to collect cds/tapes/vinyls but also like to share and download those rare or OOP recordings such as demos, rehearsals and live bootlegs that are becoming more and more undervalued in the metal scene. Whether it's an old rehearsal tape of some forgotten early death metal band or a poor recording of one of Mercyful Fate's earliest shows, our passion is to collect and share these recordings to keep the music alive. Stay true and stay metal!

Pantera - Metal God's '89 (1989)
Old Pantera bootleg collecting all of the most interesting unreleased rehearsal tracks from before Cowboys from Hell, with plenty of covers. More of a fans only thing for sure as it doesn't really play through as a regular album (playing the same song twice in a row etc.) but how could a Pantera fan turn down an earlier incarnation of the band (and honestly most of the material here sounds like it came from a period in between Power Metal and Cowboys From Hell) covering songs like South of Heaven, Raining Blood, At Dawn They Sleep, Face the Slayer, Children of the Sea, Green Manilishi, Victim of Changes, Metal Gods and Hell Bent for Leather? Plus the rehearsal tracks are really cool with the band goofing around and making inside jokes in between takes, has a real personal, home recording kinda feel. You're hardly gonna stop spinning Vulgar Display of Power to listen to this, but it's still essential for the hardcore Pantera fans. According to the cover this also featured Kerry King on one or more tracks, but I haven't yet figured out which ones.
