Pantera was an American heavy metal band from Arlington, Texas, formed by the Abbott brothers, Vinnie (drums) and "Diamond" Darrell, as he was then known (guitar), in 1981. Bassist Rex Brown would join in 1982 and in 1987 Phil Anselmo would become the group's lead vocalist, completing the band's most successful lineup that would remain together for 16 years.
Although initially influenced by 1980s glam metal bands such as Kiss and Van Halen, Pantera's style would change by the late '80s, showing a greater influence from thrash metal acts such as Slayer, Exodus and Metallica, as well as traditional metal bands such as Black Sabbath and Judas Priest. Pantera subsequently became a key formulator of the post-thrash subgenre of "groove" metal. It would not be until nine years after forming that Pantera saw its first piece of commercial success in its 1990 major label debut, Cowboys from Hell. From there, Pantera became one of the most celebrated heavy metal bands of the 1990s.
Despite the generally cold reception of the band's first four albums from the 1980s, critics have lauded Pantera's style thereafter; Jason Birchmeier of Allmusic.com states that "there was no greater metal band during the early to mid-'90s than Pantera." The band has received accolades such as ranking 45th on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" and fifth on MTV's "Top 10 Greatest Heavy Metal Bands of All-Time."
Pantera began to suffer from mounting tensions between band members in the mid-1990s, largely due to Phil Anselmo's rampant drug abuse. Anselmo, having been nagged by a painful back injury for several years, explored the option of corrective surgery, however he was not comfortable with having to take an extended break from Pantera to recover, which could have taken up to a year. Instead, Anselmo began using heroin as a painkiller and as a result his behavior became erratic and volatile, his performances suffered and he began to distance himself from his bandmates, who were initially unaware of his addiction.
In 2001, the band went on hiatus and was never able to successfully reunite, with the Abbott brothers unable to communicate with Anselmo, who was immersed in several side-projects, chiefly Down and Superjoint Ritual. Pantera officially disbanded in 2003 and a war of words ensued, with Phil and Vinnie Paul trading inflammatory comments and blaming one another for the break-up of Pantera via the media. Any hope of the band members ever reconciling their differences and possibly reuniting was lost in 2004, when "Dimebag" Darrell (as he had been known since the mid-1990s) was shot and killed on-stage while performing with his and his brother's new band, Damageplan.

One of the most influential metal albums of the 1990s, Vulgar Display of Power is said to have played a major role in defining post-thrash metal, slowing down the tempos and incorporating a harder-edged vocal style. Several songs from this release have become some of the band's best known, such as "~censored~ Hostile", "Mouth for War", "This Love", and "Walk", the latter of which reached #35 on the UK Singles Chart.
During the 90s, MTV's Headbangers Ball used excerpts from the album's songs for the show's opening theme, bumpers, and closing theme. Perhaps the most prominent sample is that of Anselmo screaming "hostile," taken from the end of the song "~censored~ Hostile". "Rise," "Regular People (Conceit)" and "Mouth for War" were covered by Robert Prince for the first-person shooter computer game Doom, and a cover of "This Love" appeared in Doom II: Hell on Earth.
The title of the album is from a line in the 1973 film, The Exorcist. When Father Damien Karras asks Regan MacNeil (or the demon who possesses her to break her own straps and release herself using her evil power, Regan replies 'thats much too vulgar a display of power'.
Philip Anselmo has a tattoo on the back of his neck that says 'ATR', this stands for 'Attack The Radical' which is part of the title for track 7.
In April 2007 the title was used for the book A Vulgar Display of Power: Courage and Carnage at the Alrosa Villa, which includes many song titles to name its chapters. The book details those involved and the details leading up to the murder of Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott. The Abbott family have stated that they are against the book and took no part in its writing.

Far Beyond Driven is an album by heavy metal band Pantera. The album was released on March 15, 1994 through East West Records. It is considered one of the most extreme albums ever to debut at #1.
The albums original artwork (a drill bit impaling an anus) (seen below) was banned due to censorship laws so it was re-released with the now legendary skull impaled with a drill bit. Copies of the original version with the banned artwork are now quite rare and fetch high prices on online auction sites.
The Japanese and Driven Downunder Tour '94 Souvenir Collection editions both contain a bonus 13th track. The track ,'The Badge' is a 'Poison Idea' cover.

It reached #4 on the Billboard Top 200 charts, #8 on the Top Canadian Albums chart, and #5 on the Top Internet Albums chart. The album's fifth track, "Revolution Is My Name", reached #28 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks.
In Australia a 2 disc Tour Edition of the album was released. It contained RTS as disc 1, and Unofficial Hits Cd as disc 2. This item is now a collector's item.
Reinventing the Steel contains lyrics mostly about the band itself, as on "We'll Grind that Axe for a Long Time" (where the band members tell about how they've kept it "true" throughout the years, while many of their peers "sucked up for the fame") and "I'll Cast a Shadow" (about Pantera's influence on the genre). There are also songs about their fans, like "~censored~ Electric" and "You've Got to Belong To It." The band members dedicated Reinventing the Steel to their fans, whom they viewed as their brothers and sisters.

Official Live: 101 Proof reached #15 on the Billboard Top 200 charts.
The track "Dom/Hollow" is an amalgamation of parts of "Domination" (orginially from Cowboys) and "Hollow" (originally from Vulgar Display of Power). The band played "Domination" leading into "Hollow" virtually every time they played either song live.
The track "Hostile" is simply a live version of "~censored~ Hostile" (from Vulgar Display) with a shortened title.

Power Metal is an album by the American hard rock and heavy metal band Pantera, released in 1988 (see 1988 in music).
The album was the first featuring Phil Anselmo on lead vocals, and was also notable for containing Dimebag Darrell's first appearance on lead vocals (he later sang on "Caged in a Rage" and "Heard It on the X" from the Supercop and E.C.W. Wrestling soundtracks, respectively), on the final track, "P.S.T. 88". The album fully realizes the heavier direction hinted on the previous album, I Am the Night, and features more traditional metal songs ("Rock the World", "Over and Out", "Death Trap", "P.S.T. 88"), speed metal songs ("Power Metal", "Down Below" and "Burnnn") and a few glam metal songs ("Hard Ride", "Proud to be Loud" and "We'll Meet Again").
Many fans of the album question the decision of the band not to re-release it, since it is very close to the sound on their next album, Cowboys from Hell, and also has a cult following among many Pantera fans. The album is available through bootlegs at this time, though official releases are scarce. However pirated replicas of the "Metal Magic" original CD issue are easily found on Ebay.
The song "Proud to Be Loud" was written and produced by Keel guitarist Marc Ferrari and was originally intended to appear on that group's 1987 self-titled album. However, Keel would not record a version of the song until 1998. Pantera's version was used as the party song in the theatrical cut of Donnie Darko, credited to the "Dead Green Mummies".
Pantera's former vocalist Terry Glaze helped co-write "Down Below". An earlier recording of the song with Terry Glaze appears on I Am the Night.

Metal Magic is the first album by the hard rock and heavy metal band Pantera, released in 1983 (see 1983 in music). Like the band's next three releases, this album was musically oriented toward a hard rock/glam metal sound influenced by Kiss and Van Halen, rather than the groove metal style they became famous for playing in the 1990s, starting with the release of Cowboys from Hell. It was released on the band's own label (also called Metal Magic) and produced by Jerry Abbott (under the alias "The Eldn'"), notable country music songwriter and producer, and father of Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul.

"5 Minutes Alone" is a song by the heavy metal band Pantera from their 1994 album Far Beyond Driven.
Drummer Vinnie Paul explains the song's meaning thusly:
There was a guy in the front row in San Diego who was heckling Phil (Anselmo, [vocalist]). Phil finally had enough, so he incited the crowd to jump this guy's ass and beat the ~love~ out of him on the spot, so he sued us. And when his dad called our manager, his exact quote was, "You just give me five minutes alone with that Phil Anselmo guy and I'll show him who's big daddy around here." Phil's response was, "You just give me five minutes with that cat's dad and I'll whoop his ass." That's where that song came from.
