You’d be wrong to think that Pantera’s journey began with their iconic multi-platinum first record, or that “Cowboys From Hell” was their actual first record. No, they had a long road to what marked the beginning of a whole new genre of heavy music. In fact, they were four albums in doing it glam metal style spandex and all before they ultimately m...
When people think of Pantera, they think of crushing riffs, amazing solos, and vocals so good Phil Anselmo still gets away with a lot of stuff because of it. “Cemetry Gates” featured on the “Cowboys From Hell” album is the quintessence of all that. It was the first time we heard Dimebag Darrell showing all of his skill and creativity when it came t...
Shortly after releasing their “first” album Pantera got invited to play a big festival alongside AC/DC, Metallica, and The Black Crowes, but the unique thing about that gig was that it was the first concert of Western rock music in USSR, it was held mere months before the country ceased to exist, and it was in front of a crowd that was over 500 000...
If “Cowboys From Hell” had put Pantera on the map big time, it was their second album as groove metal band “Vulgar Display Of Power” that solidified their place in the pantheon of metal Gods. The album that probably is solely responsible for the birth of a slew of bands like Slipknot, Lamb Of God, Chimaira, and the whole nu-metal sound, has proven ...

Notably, that album was the first one to have Darre...
Although by the time of recording “The Great Southern Trendkill” all was not well within the band. Anselmo’s falling out with the rest of Pantera resulted in him recording all of his vocals separately in Trent Reznor’s studio while the other guys did all the music together in a different one. The end result was dark, at times ominous, and really he...
While Nu-metal was ruling the world in 2000 with bands like Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Slipknot gaining more and more fans, Pantera were true to themselves and created an old-school album inspired by Judas Priest’s “British Steel”. “Reinventing The Steel” ignored all the trends in metal and featured everything Pantera was known for, from the best solos...
Jul 1, 2012 · Even as the hard-rock fads of the decade came and went, bouncing from glam to grunge to industrial to rap-rock to nu-metal, Pantera steadfastly stuck to their guns, making each new album more punishing than their last. But after 2000's Reinventing the Steel, there would be no new Pantera albums.
Aug 20, 2016 · Put simply, Pantera are giants of rock music, legends. The end was acrimonious – officially coming in 2003 – and made more final by Dimebag’s senseless murder in December 2004. Harsh words were spoken in the press, very harsh words, that in some cases couldn’t be taken back.
