Pantera’s Anselmo and Benante resurface for a “Jaws” tribute—still no lifeguard

Pantera’s Philip Anselmo and Charlie Benante lend their voices to Ross Williams’s series commemorating the 50th anniversary of “Jaws,” Spielberg’s great white plunge into paranoia and coastal dread. The series corrals storytellers, filmmakers, and shark specialists who've circled the film for decades, examining its legacy without floatation devices.

Benante and Anselmo treat “Jaws” less as mere horror and more as a cinematic oracle, their admiration skimming beyond screams and into suspense, score, and psychological undertow.
