I Am the Night is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on August 16, 1985, through Metal Magic Records. It was made available only on vinyl and cassette, with any subsequent CD releases being bootlegs transferred from the vinyl or tape originals.
It was the last Pantera album to feature lead singer Terry Glaze. The track "Hot and Heavy" was released as a single and promoted with the band's second music video.
The album sold around 25,000 copies, which was considered high for an independent release.
Metal Hammer included the album cover on their list of "50 most hilariously ugly rock and metal album covers ever".
