"I'll Cast a Shadow" is a song by American heavy metal band Pantera from their 2000 album Reinventing the Steel. The song, the final single to be released by the group before their breakup, is about the influence the band had on the heavy metal genre.[citation needed]
Reception[]
Metal Hammer ranked "I'll Cast a Shadow" No. 43 on their list of the 50 best Pantera songs, writing: "A grand and belligerent way for Pantera to bow out, this brooding paean to rising from the ashes now seems unbearably poignant: 'When I die, I cast a shadow / And I'll rise, I cast a shadow'. For all their fire and fury, this band had the souls of poets, too."[1]
