Walk Through Exits Only is the debut solo album by Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo and his backing band the Illegals. It was released on July 16, 2013, under Anselmo's own label, Housecore Records. This album has been compared to Pantera's 1996 album The Great Southern Trendkill due to Anselmo's extreme vocal style and very heavy guitar riffs.{{cite web|url=http://thequietus.com/articles/12785-philip-h-anselmo-the-illegals-walks-through-exits-only-review|title=The Quietus - Reviews - Philip H Anselmo & The Illegals|publisher=}}
