Band members are toughies include of exceptional and intricate gifted musicians, with each member using different potencies to generate sonic dominion and a gripping rush of superb heavy metal sounds. Featuring Phil Anselmo of Pantera on vocals alongside Pepper Keenan, Jimmy Bower, Pat Bruders, and Bobby Landgraf, this supergroup has been crushing stages since 1991.

As they blister through their guitar solos, fans are amazed of the finger speed and perfection that gets the crowd head-banging in reckless abandon. The guitarist is said to be the unsung hero, so to speak as they just make slapping, tapping, and crawling fingers along strings look so cool, yet does a tight job in fastening beats and rhythms. Now don't fool around with the drummer! He is that ferocious beast of energy that propels the song and pushes bodies towards the mosh pit.

And of course, theres the undeniable rizz lure of that main vocalist. His gut-wrenching growl, gritty, and guttural voice cry out defiance, yet gets the spectators to give in their souls to the melodies and lyrics of their biggest hits like "Bury Me in Smoke," "Stone the Crow," and "Lifer."
