Metal Magic is the debut studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera. It was released on June 10, 1983 by Metal Magic Records.^[1] The album is notable for its glam/heavy metal sound. It's influenced by Kiss, Van Halen and Judas Priest. This was before the band switched to their more well known groove metal sound. "Diamond" Darrell was 16 years old when the album released. Vince Abbott, his brother, was 19 years old.

Reception

AllMusic writer Eduardo Rivadavia gave Metal Magic a low score of 1.5 stars out of a possible 5. He described the album as "average hard rock." His favorite songs were "I'll Be Alright" and "Widowmaker". He said the album's "strongest asset" was Dimebag Darrell's guitar work.^[3]
