Pantera, a name synonymous with unadulterated heavy metal, emerged as one of the genre’s leading bands in the late 1980s and 1990s. Known for their potent blend of groove metal, thrash, and a hint of southern rock, the band’s music was defined by Dimebag Darrell’s aggressive guitar work, Phil Anselmo’s powerful vocals, Vinnie Paul’s thunderous drumming, and Rex Brown’s driving basslines.
