Pantera was an American heavy metal band from Arlington, Texas, formed in 1981. The group's best-known lineup consisted of the Abbott brothers, along with vocalist Phil Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown. In addition to their development and popularization of the groove metal subgenre, Pantera is credited for being part of the second wave of thrash metal scene from the late 1980s to early-to-mid 1990s. Pantera is regarded as one of the most successful and influential bands in heavy metal history, having sold around 40 million records worldwide, and being nominated four times at the Grammys. Having started as a glam metal band, Pantera released three albums in the mid-1980s with lead vocalist Terry Glaze. Looking for a new and heavier sound, Pantera hired Anselmo in 1987 and released Power Metal in 1988. They secured a record deal with major label Atco the following year.
