The band said about the music video:

“Witness “We’ll Be Back: Chapter I” — an epic, action-packed short film chronicling the origins of Vic Rattlehead. Created by Dave Mustaine, produced by Rafael Pensado, and directed by Leo Liberti, “We’ll Be Back: Chapter I” is a soldier’s tale of bravery, personal sacrifice, and the will to survive. It is the first installment of a trilogy of videos to be released in conjunction with the release of our new album ‘The Sick, The Dying… and The Dead!'”[11]

A New Level

[edit]

"A New Level" is a song by American heavy metal band Pantera. It is the second track on their sixth studio album Vulgar Display of Power.

Background and composition

[edit]

The song is composed in the key of A minor.[3] It was demoed before producer Terry Date came in to work on the album.[4] Pantera's vocalist Phil Anselmo commented about the song: "A New Level was the ultimate chip-on-your-shoulder-type song at the time for me."[5]

Reception

[edit]

Metal Hammer ranked "A New Level" #11 on their list of the 50 best Pantera songs. They wrote: "A series of visceral, fidgeting riffs gives way to that immortal chorus: 'A new level of confidence and power…' It pretty much summed up the whole Vulgar Display… album."[6]

Guitar World considered "A New Level" to be the 3rd best Pantera song, writing that it is "arguably as well known as any of the Vulgar Display of Power cuts that were." They also wrote: "Its intro riff, built on a slowly ascending barrage of crushing chromatics, is as iconic as the opening of 'Walk' or 'Mouth for War'".[7] Guitar World also ranked the songs solo number 5 on their list "The 25 Greatest Wah Solos of All Time".[8]

Odyssey also considered "A New Level" to be the 3rd best Pantera song, rating it 5/5 and wrote that the purpose of the song "was to demonstrate that Pantera was on a new level above everyone else in metal".[9]

Revolver Magazine hosted a fan poll on the five best songs from Vulgar Display of Power and "A New Level" came second place.[10]

Spin writer Mike Gitter described the song as "anthemic".[11]

Madonna performance

[edit]

Pop singer Madonna performed a riff from "A New Level" on her Sticky & Sweet Tour. It was her long-time guitarist, Monte Pittman, who taught her the riff. She performed it during a medley version of her song "Hung Up".[12][13][14][15] Anselmo considered this to be strange, and said: "She's never reached out to any of us, so I appreciate her homage, but I just don't understand it. But props to her for doing it."[16]
