Pantera

Pantera was an American Glam Metal/Thrash Metal/Groove Metal band from Arlington, Texas. Formed by the Abbott brothers, Vinnie Paul (Drums) and Dimebag Darrell (Guitar) in 1981, Bassist Rex Brown would join in late 1981 with vocalist Terry Glaze. In 1987 Phil Anselmo became the group's Lead Vocalist. In 2003, Pantera officially disbanded. Any hope of a reunion was lost in 2004, when Dimebag Darrell was shot and killed on-stage at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio on December 8 while performing with DamagePlan.
