More about the band
Pantera is regarded as one of the most influential bands in heavy metal history. Formed in 1981, the band's original lineup consisted of the Abbott brothers: drummer Vinnie Paul and guitarist Dimebag Darrell, along with bassist Rex Brown and lead vocalist Phil Anselmo. Guitarist Dimebag Darrell passed away in 2004 while performing on stage. His brother, drummer Vinnie Paul, passed away in 2018 due to heart disease.
The band is known for being part of the second wave of the thrash metal scene from the late 1980s to early-to-mid 1990s.
Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante, who is filling in for Vinnie Paul, has been close to the band since the '80s. In 1983, Benante joined Anthrax. He is the band's drummer to date. He is also a member of a crossover thrash band called Stormtroopers of Death.
