An early mix of Pantera‘s track “Drag The Waters” is now available to stream. It’s one of the rarities included with the upcoming 20th anniversary edition of the band’s 1996 release, “The Great Southern Trendkill“, which will be released on October 21st. Rollingstone.com debuted the track and also got a recollection of how it originally came to be from ex-Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo. He said of the lyrical inspiration:
“I wrote the lyrics about a buddy of mine who was getting married. The young lady he was gonna marry sucked. She was some asshole judge’s daughter, and she came from this high-and-mighty household. I believe I had a heart-to-heart with him about her and said, ‘You might wanna drag the waters with that one, there’s bodies – she’s ruined – in there.’ Hence, upon remembrance, I wrote the lyrics.”
