It reached number 4 on the Billboard 200 chart, and stayed on the chart for 16 weeks. Phil Anselmo recorded the vocals alone at Trent Reznor&rsquo;s Nothing Studios in New Orleans[3] while Dimebag Darrell, Rex Brown, and Vinnie Paul recorded the music at Chasin Jason Studios in Dalworthington Gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00ab\u00a0Floods\u00a0\u00bb, the album&rsquo;s longest song, contains a guitar solo considered by many to be Dimebag Darrell&rsquo;s finest. Guitar World magazine voted it as the 15th greatest guitar solo of all-time, Darrell&rsquo;s highest-ranking of three solos to make the list (the other two being his solos from \u00ab\u00a0Cemetery Gates\u00a0\u00bb, ranked 35th, and \u00ab\u00a0Walk\u00a0\u00bb, ranked 57th).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Great Southern Trendkill\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LVREKUVRoEQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The album is available as downloadable content for the video game Rock Band, with the exception of \u00ab\u00a0Suicide Note Pt. I\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considered Pantera&rsquo;s most aggressive album,[4] The Great Southern Trendkill is known for featuring much screaming, most notably on \u00ab\u00a0Suicide Note Pt. II\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0The Great Southern Trendkill\u00a0\u00bb while also featuring some of the fastest tempos and most down-tuned guitars (\u00ab\u00a0The Underground in America\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0(Reprise) Sandblasted Skin\u00a0\u00bb were played in standard D flat tuning, with the 6th string tuned to a low G flat.)[citation needed] that the band ever recorded. It also has a more experimental nature, such as the acoustic guitars and ballads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike Pantera&rsquo;s first three major label albums, the vocals are often double-tracked and layered to create a more \u00ab\u00a0demonic\u00a0\u00bb effect.[citation needed] An example of this can be heard in the chorus of \u00ab\u00a013 Steps to Nowhere\u00a0\u00bb, when Phil Anselmo&rsquo;s singing voice is backed up by high-pitched screaming, done by Seth Putnam of the band Anal Cunt. Screams done by Anselmo on the song \u00ab\u00a0The Great Southern Trendkill\u00a0\u00bb were compared to Putnam.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" src=\"https:\/\/manuelfh.be\/concrete-jungle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Pantera_The_Great_Southern_Trendkill.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manuelfh.be\/concrete-jungle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Pantera_The_Great_Southern_Trendkill.jpg 220w, https:\/\/manuelfh.be\/concrete-jungle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Pantera_The_Great_Southern_Trendkill-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/manuelfh.be\/concrete-jungle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Pantera_The_Great_Southern_Trendkill-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The lyrical themes on The Great Southern Trendkill include drugs, a flood that ends mankind, finding deeper meaning, anger, and the media.
