Projects in the Jungle is the second studio album by Pantera, released on July 27, 1984 through Metal Magic Records. The band would make their first music video for the track “All Over Tonight”. Though sharing many similarities with Def Leppard‘s pre-Hysteria sound (Pyromania had been released the year before), the album also contains influences from bands like Judas Priest and in addition to Van Halen-inspired guitar solos features many speed metal-oriented guitar riffs.
