Metal Magic is the debut studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on June 10, 1983 by Metal Magic Records.[7] Like the band's next three releases, it is musically oriented toward a glam/heavy metal sound influenced by Kiss and Van Halen, rather than the groove metal style they became famous for playing in the 1990s, starting with the release of Cowboys from Hell. The album was released on the band's own label (also called Metal Magic) and produced by Jerry Abbott (under the alias "The Eld'n"), a noted country music songwriter and producer, and father of Diamond Darrell and Vinnie Paul, who were 16 and 19 years old, respectively, at the time of release.

Reception


In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Eduardo Rivadavia gave Metal Magic a largely negative ranking of 1.5 stars out of a possible 5. He described the album as "exceedingly average hard rock and metal misfires" with only two promising songs in "I'll Be Alright" and "Widowmaker". Furthermore, the album's "strongest asset" even in these early years was Dimebag Darrell's guitar playing.[1]

Metal Magic es el primer álbum de la banda de heavy metal Pantera, publicado en 1983. Al igual que los próximos tres discos de la banda, este álbum está orientado musicalmente a un sonido hard rock/glam metal influenciado por el estilo de Kiss y Van Halen, en lugar del groove metal con el cual se hicieran famosos en los noventa comenzando con el lanzamiento de Cowboys from Hell. Fue lanzado bajo el sello discográfico propiedad de la banda (también llamada Metal Magic) y producido por Jerry Abott bajo el sobrenombre de "The Eldn", notable cantautor y productor de Música Country y padre de Vinnie Paul y Dimebag Darrell.
