Yeeeep. Anyone who calls them thrash metal probably doesn't listen to a lot of thrash metal. Thrash has a pretty consistent sound across a slew of bands and Pantera sticks out of those like a sore thumb, they clearly were doing something different. CFH is on the borderline and things get interesting if you take into account their prior albums, but no-one does. |

^Pretty much this. Always annoyed me when people called Pantera "thrash." |

I may be wrong, but I thought Vinne Paul coined the term groove metal. |

Ya I'd say they are just "Metal" but you could definitely call them "Groove Metal" as well. Physco Holiday and some riffs in A New Level are great examples of the groove aspect. |
