    While the songs are eclectic, they're all united by a shared sense of intensity. [13 Jul 2013, p.52]

    Despite his place among metal royalty, Anselmo remains a convincing outsider, partially because he doesn’t exclude himself from his own rants.

    Walk Through Exits Only might not be a comeback in the way we're used to hearing one, but damn if it doesn't feel like comeuppance.

    While Walk Through Exits Only might not be in the wheelhouse of a lot of Pantera fans, it's nice to see the frontman expanding his horizons with a little metal mayhem.

    The combination of Phil Anselmo on vocals and Marzi Montazeri on the guitar propels Phil Anselmo and the Illegals into the upper stratosphereThe combination of Phil Anselmo on vocals and Marzi Montazeri on the guitar propels Phil Anselmo and the Illegals into the upper stratosphere of in your face metal.
