Vocal --- PHIL
Guitar --- DARRELL
Drums --- VINNIE
Base --- REX




This Texan heavy metal quartet was formed in 1981. They
initially comprised Terry Glaze
(guitar, vocals), Darrell
Abbott
(guitar), Vince Abbott
(drums) and Rex Rocker

(bass). Drawing musical inspiration from Kiss, Aerosmith
and Deep Purple, they debuted with Metal Magic in 1983.
This well-received set led to prestigious support slots to
Dokken, Stryper and Quiet Riot. Projects In The Jungle
indicated that the band were evolving quickly and starting
to build a sound of their own. The Kiss nuances had
disappeared and the band sounded, at times, similar to
early Def Leppard, with anthemic cuts such as 'Heavy Metal
Rules' and 'Out For Blood' leading the charge. The
membership altered their names at this juncture, with Glaze
becoming Terence Lee, Darrell Abbott switching to Diamond
Darrell and brother Vince emerging as Vinnie Paul. Power
Metal was the first album on which Phil Anselmo took over
lead vocals, but it lacked the depth and polish of previous
efforts, and had yet to make the full conversion to heavy
thrash that later became the band's trademark. Diamond Darrell
turned down the offer to join Megadeth at this point, in
order to concentrate on new Pantera material. The decision
proved crucial, as a return to form was made with 1990's
Cowboys From Hell. This was an inspired collection of
infectious hard rock, played with unabashed fervour, with
Anselmo growing as a creative and visual force. Vulgar
Display Of Power, meanwhile, belied half of its title by
invoking a sense of genuine songwriting prowess to augment
the bone-crushing arrangements. Establishing a fierce
reputation, it surprised few of the group's supporters when
Far Beyond Driven entered both the UK and US album charts at
number 1. Rock music had found powerful new ambassadors in
the brutally honest and savagely executed thrash metal of
Pantera. The key word here is 'loud', as Official Live: 101
Proof demonstrates without a doubt.
