Elliott from Little Punk People had the chance to sit and chat with Phil Anselmo for a little while at the Monster Mania convention in Cherry Hill, NJ this past Sunday. In this interview, Phil reveals that his record with Bill Moseley, called Phil & Bill, is complete and they are just deciding on the cover artwork (Phil prefers the photo of them both holding kittens for the cover). He also notes that the new Superjoint album is coming out on November 11th.

Phil also answers Elliott's question: "Satan or Farts?” as well as whether he would prefer Black Flag or black metal, and he also discusses which horror movie villain he'd like to be if he had to pick one.

At 6:13 in the video, Phil also discusses how there's more music out there to explore than just heavy metal, rock and roll, or rap and roll (probably a playful dig) after talking about the amount of new music he's been working on putting out in the future.

Pantera will release The Great Southern Trendkill: 20th Anniversary Edition on October 21st. This 2-disc set includes the original album remastered, plus a dozen previously unreleased mixes, instrumentals, and live recordings.

Also being released on October 21st, is a single LP titled The Great Southern Outtakes, featuring 10 of the unreleased tracks. Pre-order both titles via the Amazon widgets below.

More details on previously unreleased material: The companion disc that accompanies the original album features an unreleased version of every album track, including two versions of “Suicide Note Pt. 1” – a rough mix of the track, along with a separate version of the introduction, which spotlights Dimebag on 12-string acoustic guitar. The second disc also features a newly remixed version of the title track, rough mixes for “Drag The Waters” and “The Underground In America”, as well as instrumental takes for “13 Steps To Nowhere” and “Living Through Me (Hell’s Wrath)”. In addition to the studio recordings, the anniversary collection features three live tracks recorded at the Dynamo Festival in Holland in 1998: “War Nerve”, “Suicide Note Pt. II” and “Sandblasted Skin”.

A Vulgar Display Of Pantera, from photographer Joe Giron, will be released on September 13th via Lesser Gods. The first-ever authorized visual history of Pantera, which features a foreword from Rex Brown, is a breathtaking, comprehensive look at one of the world’s most legendary metal bands.

Featuring rare and never-before-seen images of Pantera from their humble beginning to their grand finish, this visual tour de force includes contributions and recollections from band members Rex Brown and Vinnie Paul Abbott.

Vital moments of the band on the road, in the studio, at home, behind-the-scenes, and kicking ass on stage are all captured here in vulgar detail. Spanning two decades of metal decadence, this monograph is both a love song to Dimebag Darrell, one of rock’s last great guitar heroes, as well as a testament to Pantera’s enduring legacy.
